Draft practical recommendations to Member States in operationalizing these measures within their national and regional frameworks; Participate in a validation meeting and present for enrichment and adoption the practical recommendations formulated; Produced the final adopted guidelines in English and French. Scope of Work The Consultant shall undertake the following tasks: Review regional and international regulations, policies, and SOPs on animal health and border controls relevant to pig trade; Based on lessons learned and good practices from other transboundary disease control frameworks (e.g., rinderpest, avian influenza, PPR), analyze the constraints to the applicability of these regulations in ASF-affected Sub-Saharan countries; Develop clear, context-sensitive guidelines for strengthening official border inspections, quarantine measures, and risk-based surveillance at border points; Propose mechanisms for engaging communities and informal traders in ASF risk reduction; Identify opportunities for harmonized cross-border collaboration between neighboring countries; Present draft findings and proposed measures during the planned regional workshop; Incorporate workshop feedback and finalize the Practical Approach Document with clear implementation steps; Produce a concise report summarizing the review, consultations and highlighting key advocacy policy actions for AU-IBAR, RECs, and national governments.

Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist - Pan African PPR Secretariat (PAPS)
Country: Kenya Organization: African Union - InterAfrican Bureau for Animal Resources Closing date: 7 Nov 2025 Introduction and Context The African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR), under the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy, and Sustainable Environment (DARBE), coordinates livestock resource utilization across AU Member States. Through the Pan African PPR Secretariat (PAPS), AU-IBAR leads continental efforts to eradicate Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), a critical disease affecting small ruminants. Small ruminants form an essential part of African livestock systems. Despite years of donor and partner support for PPR control across various countries and regions, efforts remain fragmented and poorly coordinated. This has resulted in limited short-term disease control, insufficient for achieving continental eradication. A decade ago, Rinderpest, a viral disease similar to PPR but affecting cattle and buffalo, was successfully eradicated from Africa through robust continental coordination supported by the European Union. This success demonstrates that coordinated action can achieve disease eradication. PPR eradication is now a political priority for the African Union, reaffirmed on multiple occasions. The FAO/WOAH joint PPR Secretariat has developed a global strategy and action plan, coordinating the PPR Global Eradication Programme under the GF-TADs umbrella. To support the eradication of Peste des Petits ruminants, the European Union (EU) has provided funding through the "EU support to the Eradication of PPR (Peste des petits ruminants) from Africa" of 8 million Euro through a Multi-partner Agreement with AU-IBAR, FAO and WOAH. This Action represents the first phase of a comprehensive, long-term approach to eradicate PPR in Africa. It will inform a harmonized continental strategy supported by a theory of change and a comprehensive Business Plan. Subsequent phases will implement targeted, evidence-based interventions within a defined timeframe. Objectives The continental scope, technical complexity, and multi-stakeholder nature of the PPR eradication programme across Sub-Saharan Africa require enhanced monitoring and evaluation capacity within PAPS. The newly developed M&E; Framework encompasses multiple tools that must be operationalized across continental, regional, and national levels, engaging all 47 AU Member States. These tools include the revised Logical Framework, compliance monitoring tool, result-resources framework, and indicator tracking tool. In view of the above, the African Union Commission invites applications for a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer position at the Pan African PPR Secretariat (PAPS), housed within the Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (IBAR) in Nairobi, Kenya. The M&E; Officer will provide specialized technical support to the M&E; Expert, focusing on operational implementation of M&E; tools and frameworks, technical analysis of monitoring data, and capacity building at regional and national levels. This position complements existing M&E; capacity without duplication, ensuring broader and more timely coverage of Member States while strengthening overall programme effectiveness. Main Functions The Monitoring and Evaluation Officer will provide essential technical and operational support to strengthen the M&E; capacity of the PPR eradication programme. The Officer will work under the supervision of the M&E; Expert to ensure systematic data collection across all programme levels, data analysis to generate actionable insights, and utilization of findings to enhance programme accountability, efficiency, and adaptive management at continental, regional, and national implementation levels. The M&E; Specialist will: Support the operationalization and implementation of the monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning (MERL) framework for the PPR eradication programme at continental, regional, and national levels. Provide technical assistance to implementing partners and Member States on monitoring protocols, data collection methodologies, reporting standards, and compliance with the PPR programme guidelines. Support the preparation of comprehensive monthly, quarterly, and annual M&E; reports that provide actionable insights and evidence-based recommendations for strategic programme management and decision-making. Contribute to the development and production of the Quarterly PPR Project Bulletin, ensuring accurate reflection of programme progress and achievements. Support the M&E; Expert to ensure monitoring findings are systematically discussed in relevant forums and translated into adaptive management actions. Undertake additional duties as assigned by the M&E; Expert to enhance overall PPR programme monitoring effectiveness and implementation success. Key Responsibilities The M&E; Specialist will: Conduct periodic reviews and updates of the programme's theory of change and logical framework, ensuring relevance and alignment with evolving programme objectives, with particular emphasis on indicator refinement and measurement methodologies.

Support the development, refinement, and updating of the comprehensive M&E; Plan, including the design and improvement of associated data collection instruments and systems. Assess existing data quality within project domains, evaluate collection methodologies, and determine data utility for impact evaluation purposes. Establish and maintain comprehensive baseline data for all project components and performance indicators. Support the review and enhance existing management information systems, identifying required modifications and resource needs. Support the implementation of the M&E; capacity-building initiatives. Identify technical support requirements for project partners and organize targeted capacity development interventions. Implement systematic data collection protocols to measure progress against established performance indicators. Frequently undertake field monitoring at regional and Member States level. Participate in the development of Terms of Reference for Baseline, Mid-term, and End-of-Programme Evaluations for PPR and related Animal Health initiatives. Contribute to the preparation of timely, accurate, and comprehensive monthly, quarterly, and annual PPR programme performance and progress reports for submission to management, donors, and stakeholders. Participate in the operationalisation of the PPR Project internal Mid-Term review, external Mid-Term Review and End of Project Evaluations.

COVAW Terms of Reference: Consultancy for Development of TFGBV Guidelines & SOPs Under MASS Programme
Country: Kenya Organization: Coalition on Violence Against Women Closing date: 15 Oct 2025 Background of the Organization The Coalition on Violence Against Women (COVAW) is a Kenyan women’s rights non-profit organization established in 1995 to address the silence surrounding violence against women and girls (VAWG). Guided by its vision of a society where women and girls enjoy equal rights, freedoms, and thrive in safe spaces, COVAW works across four core areas: increasing access to justice for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), promoting women’s economic empowerment, and fostering women’s leadership and participation in decision-making. Through evidence-based advocacy, policy engagement, and direct service delivery, COVAW deliberately addresses harmful norms, attitudes, laws, and practices that affect the safety and well-being of women and girls. With funding from UNFPA Kenya, COVAW has been onboarded as an Implementing Partner to implement various components of the Making All Spaces Safe (MASS) Programme (2024–2027). The programme is designed to address the growing challenge of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) by strengthening national systems, embedding TFGBV responses into existing GBV case management and referral mechanisms, and advancing survivor-centered laws and policies. In Kenya, the programme is being implemented in Nairobi, Kisumu, and Mombasa, with a strong emphasis on participatory processes, multi-stakeholder engagement, and alignment with national frameworks on gender equality and GBV. Background of the Project and Rationale Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) has rapidly emerged as a pressing challenge in Kenya, with far-reaching impacts on the rights, safety, and participation of women and girls in digital and offline spaces. Acts such as online harassment, image-based abuse, cyberstalking, impersonation, and doxing have become widespread, undermining survivors’ dignity, well-being, and ability to fully benefit from digital technologies. Recent national studies and assessments confirm that women are disproportionately affected, face unique barriers to reporting, and often lack access to survivor-centered remedies and coordinated responses. Kenya has experienced a marked rise in TFGBV, with multiple studies confirming its prevalence and far-reaching impacts. A 2024 rapid study on TFGBV in tertiary institutions conducted by the Collaborative Centre for Gender and Development (CCGD), the University of Nairobi WEE Hub, and supported by UNFPA revealed that almost 90% of young adults had encountered TFGBV, with female students being disproportionately targeted through online defamation (30.4%) and the non-consensual distribution of intimate content (24.4%). Similarly, the 2024 Gender Survey on TFGBV in Kenya commissioned under the MASS Programme found that 73% of women in Kenya had experienced cyber violence, and that women are 27 times more likely than men to face harassment online. Men were more likely to encounter cyberbullying or trolling, while women faced severe forms such as threats, doxing, sexual harassment, and stalking. The 2025 MASS Programme Baseline Study reinforced these findings, showing that 31% of respondents reported experiencing TFGBV in their lifetime, but only 10% had reported their cases to authorities. Low awareness of TFGBV as a form of “real” violence, lack of trust in law enforcement, and limited survivor-centered services contribute to this underreporting. The study also highlighted that only 48% of respondents felt safe online, and that awareness of laws and digital safety standards remains critically low. The impacts on survivors are severe and multi-dimensional, ranging from psychological trauma, depression, and fear; to social isolation, reputational harm, and stigma; to economic exclusion and reduced participation in public or political spaces. At the institutional level, Kenya faces critical gaps: TFGBV is not recognized or addressed as a form of GBV. Existing laws (e.g., the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, the Data Protection Act, and the Sexual Offences Act) address some manifestations of TFGBV but fail to offer comprehensive protections and are not gender-sensitive. Survivor-centered services remain fragmented, underfunded, and poorly coordinated. Reporting rates remain low due to distrust in authorities and prevalence of victim-blaming responses, creating a chilling effect for survivors seeking justice. To address critical gaps in prevention and response by embedding TFGBV into Kenya’s case management and referral mechanisms in a manner that is sustainable, survivor-centered, and legally sound. To support the national policy reform agenda by providing evidence-based tools and frameworks that align with constitutional principles of equality, dignity, and freedom from violence, as well as Kenya’s commitments under international and regional human rights instruments. The rationale for this consultancy is therefore two-fold: By situating TFGBV within Kenya’s GBV prevention and response architecture, the consultancy will not only strengthen institutional accountability and service delivery but also contribute to broader systemic reforms that ensure women and girls can safely participate in all aspects of digital and social life. Purpose of the Consultancy A. Purpose The overall purpose of this consultancy is to support the Coalition on Violence Against Women (COVAW) in advancing Kenya’s response to Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) under the Making All Spaces Safe (MASS) Programme. Specifically, the consultancy will lead the development of Guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to integrate TFGBV into existing case management and referral systems, ensuring that survivors can access coordinated, survivor-centered, and effective support services. B. Objectives The consultancy aims to: Review best practices in the region or globally on integration of TFGBV into GBV case management systems. Undertake a contextual review of Kenya’s legal, policy and programmatic frameworks to identify entry points for integration of TFGBV into GBV case management systems. Develop Guidelines for the integration of TFGBV into case management systems and referral pathways, ensuring alignment with national GBV frameworks and survivor-centered principles. Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to integrate TFGBV into existing case management systems and referral mechanisms and operationalize the guidelines across multiple sectors, including justice, health, psychosocial support, education, social services, and technology actors. C. Expected Results By the end of the consultancy: The TFGBV Guidelines and SOPs will have been validated and embedded into Kenya’s GBV prevention and response systems. Duty bearers and service providers will have clear, actionable protocols for supporting survivors of TFGBV in a coordinated and survivor-centered manner. The outputs will provide a policy and operational foundation for anchoring TFGBV within national frameworks, thereby strengthening accountability, prevention, and protection efforts. Survivors of TFGBV will be better positioned to access timely and effective support services, reducing barriers to justice and care.

Final Evaluation of Syria Area-Based Integrated Recovery (SABIR) – Phase IV
Country: Syrian Arab Republic Organization: Expertise France Closing date: 27 Oct 2025 II. BACKGROUND Context After 13 years of conflict, an estimated 15.3 million people are in need of assistance in Syria, with areas such as Raqqa, Deir-ez-Zor, Hassakeh, and eastern Aleppo among the most severely affected. Basic services, including health, education, water, and electricity, remain disrupted and fragmented, particularly for the most vulnerable population groups, including women and children. The continued influx of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees places additional pressure on overstretched service providers. Economically, households have faced severe hardship as the Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) rose to over SYP 3.2 million in late 2024 and remained above SYP 2 million into 2025, pushing families into negative coping strategies such as child labor, reduced food consumption, and reliance on informal credit . The agricultural sector, which once employed up to 50% of the workforce before 2011, has suffered a near-total collapse due to prolonged conflict, climate change, and structural weaknesses. Years of conflict have severely damaged irrigation systems, led to groundwater depletion from unregulated drilling, and left large stretches of farmland uncultivated or inaccessible due to contamination and landmines. At the same time, farmers face skyrocketing fertilizer prices, widespread shortages of quality inputs, poor access to veterinary care, and limited feed for livestock, all of which threaten food security and rural livelihoods. These challenges continue to undermine agricultural production and raise serious concerns about food security and the country’s ability to sustain its own food supply. Project profile Project title Syria area based integrated recovery - phase 4 (SABIR IV) Donors French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs Project budget 5,000,000 Euros Project duration Start date: 01/03/2024 End date: 28/02/2026 Project locations (# of projects granted) Al Hassakah, Shadadi( 5 projects) Raqqa and Mansurah (9 projects) Deir ez-Zor, Rweished (5 projects) Supported by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Syria Area Based Integrated Recovery (SABIR) project is implemented since 2020, aiming at improving (I) access to essential services through public infrastructures rehabilitation (II) promoting access to livelihoods and income generation through agriculture, livestock, technical and vocational education and training, entrepreneurship supports and finally (III) fostering social capital by delivering tailored capacity building activities to local partners. Since the phase 4, the project also aims at strengthening social cohesion among communities in the target areas. The SABIR project's overall intended impact is to contribute to addressing the post-crisis recovery challenges to pave the path towards sustainable development. The sub-objective of SABIR IV is to build more resilient local communities towards greater stabilization in the northeast of Syria. Theory of Change Against this background, SABIR will contribute to overcoming post-war challenges, enabling local communities to be more resilient, and supporting the progressive recovery of essential services and local economy. The project’s theory of change (TOC) is: IF communities affected by conflict and climate shocks have better access to improved basic services such as water for domestic and irrigation purposes, electricity and public infrastructure; IF rural and urban households have improved livelihoods, a diversified access to food and increased income; IF social cohesion is strengthened at the community level; and IF local communities, stakeholders, and implementing partners have strengthened knowledge and capacity to respond to community needs; THEN local communities will transition from poor living conditions and instability to resilient, sustainable socio-economic conditions and equitable economic growth in the areas covered by the project. Overall Objective: More resilient local communities pave the way towards greater stabilization in the Northeast of Syria. Specific Objectives: Living conditions and human security of people affected by the crisis in the northeast of Syria are improved through an integrated area-based and gender inclusive approach, focusing on access to basic services, livelihoods, and local actors empowerment SABIR project's overall intended impact is to contribute to addressing the post-crisis recovery challenges to pave the path towards sustainable development. The project aimed at achieving specific objective through the following components: Access to basic services is enhanced through the rehabilitation of public infrastructure. Local communities have improved access to inclusive and sustainable livelihoods opportunities. Social Cohesion has increased in areas where a diversity of communities and sociodemographic live. The capacities of local partners are strengthened to implement project activities and improve community engagement. List of activities implemented: A. Rehabilitation of public infrastructure: Activities that could improve access to essential services such as: (i) water supply for domestic and irrigation purposes complemented by climate smart techniques; (ii) electricity infrastructures: Rehabilitation of water stations. Rehabilitation of irrigation networks and canals. Rehabilitation of small groundwater wells/equipping wells with solar energy systems. Rehabilitation of electricity networks/installation of new lines and transformers. Main Achievements (A) Rehabilitation of 27 electric transformers. 8 wells drilled and supplied with necessary equipment for agriculture cooperatives. 144 farmers/livestock breeders benefited from rehabilitated irrigation canals.
