Saferworld is seeking the services of an experienced evaluator or evaluation team with peacebuilding and community security expertise and a deep knowledge of Sudan to carry out a final evaluation of its Dutch MFA-funded Addressing Root Causes of Conflict programme (ARC).
The 5-year programme primarily focuses on civil society at the local and national levels as proactive participants in improving human security and social cohesion. It aims to bridge the divides between groups (including refugees, internally displaced people and host communities) through inclusive local-level action for peace and conflict transformation. By providing communities and civil society with increased capacity and skill to examine critically the local cycles of violence, and implement action plans to address the locally-identified root causes of violence. The programme enables communities and civil society to explore how the drivers of conflict affect communities and provide a base from which these actors can begin to build solidarity and trust on key issues. The programme is being implemented in Khartoum, North and South Darfur; Kassala, Gedaref and Red Sea in Eastern Sudan.
The purpose of this end-of-programme evaluation is to assess the intended and unintended outcomes of the programme and determine its level of contribution towards the achievement of the overarching goal of ARC programme. Evaluation is an integral part of our overall project management cycle to ensure effective oversight of the project. In order to guide organisational learning, assess programme effectiveness and impact, we are committed to gathering evidence of the programme impact, and documenting lessons and best practices.
