Re-Advertisement for a Consultant to facilitate a Programme Quality and Learning Review Workshop
Country: Kenya Organization: Oxfam GB Closing date: 14 Jun 2023 BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT ABOUT OXFAM Oxfam is an international confederation of 21 organizations working in over 60 countries worldwide seeking to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice around the world. Oxfam is determined to change that world by mobilizing the power of people against poverty. Around the world, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them. In all we do, Oxfam works with partners, public and private sector institutions alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty. Read more about Oxfam from https://kenya.oxfam.org/ OXFAM COUNTRY STRATEGY Oxfam in Kenya Country Strategy (2021-2024) focuses on four key contextual issues, within an overall framework of fighting inequality and ending poverty and injustice as a way to increase resilience among poor and marginalized communities. The OCS is founded on four key strategic pillars; Governance and Accountability: With positive economic growth and investment opportunities, Kenya has immense potential to mobilise tax revenues, provide public services to its people and reduce inequality. In the past decade, however, the government has borrowed extensively to finance large-scale infrastructure projects, undermining its ability to invest in development priorities and public spending. Kenya’s fiscal deficit coupled with imprudent budget management has led to increased external funding and borrowing. Kenya’s debt to GDP ratio continues to rise with the IMF Fiscal consolidation programme proposing austerity measures to reduce Kenya’s debt vulnerabilities. The austerity measures adversely affect social spending which has already historically been inadequate – again disproportionately negatively affecting the poor the most. At the local level, the underperformance of own source revenue (OSR) has been attributed to the lack of proper and updated legal frameworks of county governments on revenue collection, the need to improve county governments’ capacity in revenue collection, and the need to improve on reporting on collection of non-tax revenue. Other forms of illicit financial flows (IFFs) have severely hampered Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM)A lack of transparency, progressive tax mobilisation, gender responsive allocation and effective utilisation of resources for public services perpetuate inequalities and hinder access to services for the most vulnerable. Extractives and Land Rights: Progressive policy and legislative developments in regard to natural resources since 2015 along with the discovery of significant oil, water, gas and coal reserves have the potential to boost Kenya’s socio-economic development. Poor implementation of these policies together with a lack of community understanding and engagement have meant that revenues from extractives have not benefited communities living in and around such areas, and there is potential conflict over management of resources between national government, counties and within communities. Similarly, within the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), there are inadequate community control of land and husbandry of natural resources, to enhance the resilience of communities and improve their development prospects. Gender Justice and Women Rights: Women and girls in Kenya hold great potential and there has been some progress made in terms of gender equality and women empowerment. Despite such developments, only 29% of women are considered empowered, according to UN Women and Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) data published in 2020. Progress is still slow, hampered by inadequate implementation of laws, inadequate funding, weak accountability mechanisms and slow transformation of discriminatory and patriarchal gender norms, attitudes and practice that continue to limit women’s power and agency in political, economic and social spheres. In Kenya women are affected both in the public sphere and within the household and as a result they face a much more restricted set of choices and opportunities in their lives than men. Women have less voice in decision making in the family, including in respect of their sexual and reproductive health choices, as well as less control over household income and assets. They bear the brunt of unpaid care work which is one of the main contributors to women’s concentration in low-paid care, precarious employment. Humanitarian Systems Strengthening: Disasters have increased in the past decade, eroding the coping mechanisms of people and contributing to displacements, destruction of livelihood assets, resource conflicts and increasing poverty and inequality for marginalised people. Successive shocks- COVID-19 pandemic impacts, prolonged droughts, intense floods and the largest infestations of desert locusts in 70 years have compounded these effects, leaving the affected communities with little time to recover and improve their lives and livelihoods. Although the government, with support from donors, INGOs and local partners has been responding to the resultant humanitarian crises, a lot more still needs to be done to address the systemic and structural enablers of recurring crises- there are considerable gaps on resilience building, preparedness and emergency response while citizens/communities still need support to hold county and national government to account for prompt and effective use of the resources at their disposal. In addition, humanitarian system in Kenya is still fundamentally driven by the INGOs/UN while the local partners rooted in crisis affected contexts remain confined to the periphery. Oxfam has been championing localization agenda to challenge this state of affairs and vest more decision-making power on the hands of the local partners. This effort continues to bear fruits and will be nurtured further. OBJECTIVES OF THE REVIEW Oxfam in Kenya intends to conduct a wholistic Programme Quality and Learning review that will focus on: The four thematic areas which are: (i) Governance and Accountability, (ii)Gender Justice and Women Rights, (iii)Extractives and Land Rights and (iv) Humanitarian Systems Strengthening and cross pillar integration. Business Support Units (BSU) that includes Monitoring and Evaluation, Donor Relations & Funding, Finance, Logistics and Procurement, Communications and Media departments Relationship/Partnership management with various stakeholders including affiliates, local partners, academia, networks etc. This review provides an opportunity to assess how far the Kenya programme has come towards achieving the goals and objectives set out in the Oxfam country strategy, identify and address issues and challenges that have arisen since launch of the OCS, enable course correction if the interventions are not meeting goals and objectives of the OCS, and demonstrate accountability of our work to its stakeholders.

Evaluate the continued relevance and effectiveness of intervention strategies: By considering what the lessons and learnings on the progress and outcomes mean for strategic and operational planning and decisions for the remaining duration of the OCS, especially in light of changing political and civic space contexts, affiliation process for Kenya. Be accountable to stakeholders: By capturing the results of all thematic pillars in the OCS and comparing them against the envisioned social change. Additionally, the Programme Learning review aims to: Enable and encourage reflection among projects and withing the programme as a whole on the progress and achievements so far and what they mean for the strategic vision of the OCS.
