Found in: beBee S KE - 1 month ago


Nairobi, Kenya Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU) Full time

The Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU) is a governance, health and human rights non-profit organization, whose vision is A Just World Free from Torture.

Objective of the Consultancy

The overall objective of this short-term consultancy is to conduct the midterm strategic plan review. During the review process, the consultant will document and propose appropriate approaches of achieving the goal of the strategic plan.
This independent assessment is to be structured against the standard OECD-DAC evaluation criteria (relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability), with the evaluation of impact converted into progress to impact, given that this is a formative, midterm assessment.
A crosscutting criterion of gender, environment and climate responsiveness should be applied as well. Under each criterion, the focus of the assessment should be guided by key assessment questions and detailed sub-questions. The assessment will employ a combination of both primary and secondary data sources, including relevant documentation, a survey and interviews. The evaluation should be guided by the institutional strategic framework premised on its underlying Strategic Objectives.

Specific Objectives:

Assess the extent to which the IMLU strategic plan is relevant to the targeted stakeholders, coherence in line with wider contextual issues in Kenya including the policies and governance affecting the human rights spectrum. This will be done by assessing the level of achievement of the expected results as outlined in the institutional results framework.
Assess the approach taken by the programme and the extent to which the activities are delivering attainment of the intended objectives of the strategic plan.
Assess the level of efficiency of IMLU Programme;
Document strategic challenges, lessons learnt and key recommendations for achievement of the 2026 strategic objectives;
Assess the extent to which the strategy has mainstreamed gender, environment and conflict.
Assess IMLU’s sustainability approach, given the dwindling donor funds and diverse priority areas for development partners and provide recommendations towards the growth and sustainability of IMLU.

Scope of Work
The consultant firm will be expected to conduct a countrywide survey with a representative sample size from each county targeting both the victims and survivors of human rights violations. In addition to these, both state and non-state agencies in the struggle against torture including but not limited to the criminal justice agencies, CSOs, LSK etc. will form key part of the participants in the evaluation exercise. The evaluation exercise will sort information around the following outcome areas from our strategic plan:

Accountability mechanisms to prevent torture and related violations
Redress, rehabilitation and socio-economic empowerment
Institutional strengthening to be a Center of excellence in torture response and accountability. These will include a review of the Resource Mobilization plan and its contribution to IMLU sustainability.

The evaluation will also analyze the context in which our operations are implemented and advice on best strategies of delivering on our mandate for the next 2.5 years remaining in our strategic plan. In addition to these, the consultancy shall:

Hold an inception meeting with the management to harmonized expectations.
Review the strategic plan and the monitoring framework for the strategy including other relevant secondary material required for the evaluation.
Develop and inception report with a clear sampling frame, evaluation matric and key data collection tools.

Key Deliverables
The following are key deliverables for the consultancy firm;

Develop a detailed inception report with a clear evaluation methodology not limited to evaluation framework, sampling frame, data collection tools, and budget.
Comprehensive evaluation report
A results framework for the remining 2.5 years with key recommendations per each output and respective indicator
Power point presentation of the evaluation reports
Dissemination of findings/ report in a validation workshop organized by IMLU.

Timelines

The duration of the assignment will be 15 days over a period of two months. This evaluation study will begin in the month of May 2024; however preliminary works may begin earlier such as development of the inception report. The final report incorporating feedback from IMLU team will be submitted 10 days after presentation of the preliminary findings. A validation meeting will be convened with key stakeholders

Future use of Data

During data collection exercise, the consultant should take in to consideration the do-no-harm, survivor centered, gender and safeguarding principles. Due to the level of sensitivity of the data collected, it will be paramount that the consultant adheres to IMLUs data protection policy and the Data protection Act of Kenya.
All data collected will be sole property of IMLU. The consultant must not use the data for their own research purposes, nor license the data to be used by others, without the written consent of IMLU.
