Project Impact Evaluation: Methodology

Ninewa Governorate Salah al Din Governorate

Number of individuals surveyed, by location

Slide 7 of 18

Project Impact Evaluation: Findings

Economic recovery and livelihoods

• Households within the area of intervention are

12% more likely to report improved economic prospects

• Namely, 53% of the respondents from locations

in the treatment group reported improved economic prospects compared to 41% of those from the control group

• The study also found a small but positive

difference in the proportion of households reporting an increase in income and reduction in debt load as a result of the intervention

• The intervention shows a strong positive effect
• n economic prospects at the community‐level

showing the potential of a community‐driven recovery and safety (CDRS) approach to improve perceptions on the current and future socio‐economic situation.

Slide 8 of 18

Project Impact Evaluation: Findings

Governance

• 10% overall increase in perceptions of local government inclusiveness and responsiveness ‐ likely a result of long‐term

municipality engagement and visibility of community development committees (CDCs) establishment (eg. elections)

• Possibly as a result of better perceptions of inclusiveness and responsiveness of local government ‐ 4% overall increase in trust in

local government

Slide 9 of 18

Project Impact Evaluation: Findings

Governance

• Higher impact on trust in the Salah al Din (7% difference); likely due to pre‐crisis services (also possibly skewed by Baiji)
• Negligible impact on local government trust within the 18‐29 age bracket; supports notion that younger groups feel more

excluded from service delivery (as observed through social cohesion activities)

• Similar impact on local government among women (4%) and men (3%)

Slide 10 of 18

Project Impact Evaluation: Findings

Service delivery

• Household in a treated community are 13% more likely to report an improvement in access to public services across different

areas of Iraq. However, the difference between treatment and control group is almost 25% amongst villages in Ninewa and not significant in Salah al‐Din, suggesting a stronger effect of the program in Zummar than in Tikrit, Al Alam and Bajii sub‐districts

• Overall female respondents are more likely to report improvements in access to public services. However, the effect of the

intervention is much stronger on men, who are 17% more likely to report improved access to public services

Slide 11 of 18

Project Impact Evaluation: Findings Social cohesion

• Relationship between community development committees’ (CDCs) presence and levels of trust is mixed at best and the
• verall results display a negative correlation (5% lower in project locations)
• In Salah al Din, improvements in trust levels were 13% higher in locations without a CDC highlighting the prevalence of

social tensions in areas selected for CDC interventions

Slide 12 of 18

Project Impact Evaluation: Findings Social cohesion

• Low but positive effect of CDCs on younger age brackets (7% improvement) and on individuals who returned in 2019 (2%

improvement)

• Sept 2016 ‐ June 2018: social cohesion interventions restricted to training beneficiaries and CDCs members. Remaining project

period ‐ activities focused heavily on mapping

Slide 13 of 18

Overview of achievements

While the study found improved economic prospects at the community level, this did not reflect in reported positive change in income and the debt load at the household‐level. More qualitative information would help to qualify these findings, but likely related proportions of population served in each area, Far higher proportions were supported in Ninewa. Highly context

• dependent. Target

locations in rural Ninewa have been historically underserved, leading to a widespread feeling of disenfranchisement from the state.

Economic prospects and service delivery Households living in areas where DRC implemented community‐driven recovery and safety (CDRS) program are substantially more likely to report improved economic prospects. When communities in Nineveh with and without a community‐development committee (CDC) are compared, a substantially higher proportion (+25%) of the communities with a CDC report improvements in access to basic services. There is a negligible difference between ‘treatment’ and ‘control’ sites when it comes to perceptions of access to services in Salah‐al‐Din. As this finding does not correlate with an increased trust in local government in project locations in Ninewa, we can assume that the improvement in basic services is strongly linked to the intervention itself, rather than government‐led service delivery.

Overview of achievements

Slide 15 of 18

Trust in local government and inclusiveness and responsiveness There is a small (4%) but statistically significant improvement in ‘trust in local government’ in intervention sites as compared to control sites. The difference is accounted for entirely by Salah al Din, implying that community development committees did not significantly help boost trust in government in Ninewa. In locations where a CDC was introduced, 10% more households reported that local government was more inclusive and responsive. The positive effect of a community‐driven recovery and development program is only observable among

• lder demographics (40 yeas old and above), suggesting that more targeted

programming should be implemented to reach the youth.

Higher likelihood

• f Households

reporting increased trust in local government

4%

Higher likelihood

Overview of achievements

Slide 16 of 18

Inter‐ and intra‐community trust (i.e. social cohesion): Overall, substantial improvements in levels of trust in intervention and control sites, ie. situation appears to have been improving across the board, regardless of CDC support. Higher levels in control locations in Salah al Din – possibly explained by DRC’s target selection process in the first instance. Other contextual factors are likely far more influential than community development committee (CDCS) presence.

But overall, higher likelihood

• f households

reporting improved trust within/between diverse communities

Mixed

Way forward for DRC Recovery Program

1.

Mainstreaming community‐driven methodology across all programs and field locations

2.

Integrating conflict‐sensitive recommendations to improve programming and impact on community dynamics

3.

Continue implementing through an area‐based approach, including multi‐sectorial programming

4.

Tightening the link between CDCs and other civil society actors

5.

Strengthening the role of CDCs vis‐à‐vis government structures

Partner Presentation - Role of Community Committees in Livelihoods (Tearfund)

Working with Community Committees

The purpose of establishing and working with Community Committees

The Purpose of Community Committees :

• Establishing Trust
• Establishing Representation of community members on Committees
• Enhanced participation and ownership of projects by community members
• Ensuring that committees and the community understand Tearfund’s work
• Ensuring that the community understands Tearfund’s implementation priorities
• Facilitation of communication ‐ to communities, beneficiaries and Tearfund

Factors to take into consideration when establishing Community Committees

Tearfund takes the following into consideration :

• What is the purpose of the committee?
• What are the terms of reference for working together?
• What is Tearfund seeking from the Committee and what is the Committee seeking from TF
• Is there an existing committee or similar structure that can fulfill Tearfund’s requirements?
• Are there any government rules in the area regarding establishment Community Committees?
• What is the appropriate level of representation across genders, ethnicities, religions, ages, and

tribal affiliation ‐ consider the makeup of the community as well as cultural restrictions.

• Tearfund seeks to ensure that Community Committees are representative of the diversity

within the community it represents, to the extent that it is feasible.

Guide on setting up/establishing Community Committees

• Invite community members to a meeting and introduce your programme

(Contacts can be identified through needs assessments)

• Hold consultative meetings to describe the purpose of Community Committees
• Give community members the opportunity to nominate individuals
• Keep local leadership/authorities updated and involved where its necessary
• If necessary organize separate male and female meetings.
• Tearfund programmes engage with the community as one entity, with all

relevant sectors plus MEAL staff.

• Allow time for feedback on selection of representatives:
• After getting permission, post shortlist / final list with the hotline number.
• Plan for at least 1 week for this process to take place.

Detailed explanation

• f how Tearfund works
• How Tearfund works and is going to work within the project
• Expectations
• Safeguarding messages
• Accountability to the community
• How support services support the programme eg how Finance, MEAL team works
• Feedback mechanisms

CALP MARKET TOOLS ASSESSMENT TRAINING IN ERBIL : AN OVERVIEW

31st October 2019 Lea Richard, PIN

CALP TRAINING SESSIONS

 The Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP) : a global partnership with over 80

members  CaLP is based on learning, knowledge sharing, networking, policy and coordination around the appropriate and timely use of Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) in humanitarian response  CaLP offered 2 trainings in Erbil:

• 1. Core CVA
• 2. Market Assessment Tools

WHAT DID WE DO?

Focus: market assessments in emergency situations / post- crisis. Goals of the training:  Deeper understanding of why market assessments are important in emergency situations  Understand how to conduct a market assessment in pre-emergency / amergency / post- emergency context  Introduction to the different market assessment tools and how / when to use them  Conduct our own market assessments

THE 6 (ITERATIVE) STEPS TO CONDUCTING A MARKET ASSESSMENT

STEP 1. IDENTIFY NEEDS AND GAPS

Gaps = Needs – What people already have – what others are already providing

STEP 2. MARKET ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVE

What are we trying to achieve through this assessment? E.g – what is the most appropriate response? Can we support the local market?

STEP 3. CRITICAL MARKET SELECTION

Select markets that are critical to the target group, affected (or will be affected) by the crisis, and aligned with your organization’s objectives.

STEP 4. SCOPE AND DEPTH OF ASSESSMENT

Marketplace or market system analysis? What do we need to know? Where do we stop?

STEP 5. KEY ANALYTICAL QUESTIONS

KAQS represent the fundamental issues that need to be addressed before taking a programme decision. E.g: is there enough supply of drinking water in case there is a rise in demand due to a crisis?

STEP 6. ASSESSMENT TOOL SELECTION

 PCMA: Pre crisis market analysis  RAM: Rapid Assessment of Crisis (48h after crisis)  OXFAM 40h tool  EMMA: Emergency Mapping and Market Analysis (emergency -> recovery)  MISMA: Multi Sector Market Assessment  MAG: Market Analysis Guidance

MARKET MAPPING

3 components:  Market Chain  Infrastructure and Services  Environment (rules) 2 maps:  Baseline Map (pre-crisis)  Post-crisis Map : how has the crisis affected the market?

• What has been disrupted: supply, demand, both? Market integration? Competition and power?
• What are opportunities for markets to contribute to humanitarian response?
• What do we want to focus on? Supply and demand system, or income market system?

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

 Prepare data collection : teams, logistics, questionnaires  What do we measure? market system context, number of actors, supply and demand, market integration, market power, prices, volumes, seasonality  Data collection methods: qualitative, quantitative, KIIs, FGDs, etc.  Analysis : Triangulate! Triangulate! Triangulate!  Use data to decide what programmatic actions you recommend

FIELD SCHOOL

We were divided into four groups to analyze 4 critical markets:  Housing and rental  Basic Foods Items  Drinking water  Unskilled and skilled labour

Data collection: drinking water supply in Ainkawa

MARKET MONITORING

 What to monitor: Actors, prices, seasonality, availability of commodities, volume, income, sources

• f income, purchasing power

 Adjust intervention according to monitoring and continue monitoring  Monitoring tools: MARKit: Market Price Monitoring WFP- VAM: Food Security Analysis
