10 Annex 1: Options available for appointing the evaluation manager Key principles to take into consideration when identifying the evaluation manager: Attribution of the evaluation management to a staff is the responsibility of the CO management (CD/DCD) The CD/DCD should ensure that provisions for impartiality are operationalized to the extent possible in view of their Country Office size and composition and that the staff envisaged to manage the evaluation has the capacity to do so in particular a basic understanding of evaluation terminology and an ability to engage meaningfully with colleagues in the CO and outside who might be more senior. Option 1: M&E officer The preferred option is to have the head or a member of the M&E team taking the role of evaluation management. The advantage is that s/he knows about the programme/activities under evaluation while not having managed or implemented them directly (it is recognized that the M&E team is highly likely to have been involved in monitoring the activities under evaluation, except in cases where country offices have different monitoring arrangements for different options). This option should be feasible in very large and large COs and some medium COs who have an M&E officer post. If option 1 is not feasible because the CO does not have an M&E post, or all M&E staff have been directly involved in the management and implementation of the subject being evaluated, or the M&E staff do not have the requisite capacity, then the CD/DCD should consider option 2. Option 2: The CO VAM Officer or a programme officer If and only if the M&E officer cannot be the evaluation manager the alternative could be to appoint the VAM officer or a programme officer or a compliance officer who has not directly managed or implemented the programme/activities to be evaluated.
11 If option 2 is not feasible because the CO does not have a VAM or compliance officer or all programme officers have been directly involved in the management of the subject being evaluated, then the CD/DCD should consider option 3. Option 3: M&E officer from another CO or external consultant If nobody in the CO can ensure the role of evaluation manager then the CD/DCD could explore the possibility of having an evaluation manager from another CO on TDY. For a staff member to be eligible to manage an evaluation taking place in another CO, s/he must have completed one decentralized evaluation management as per the process guide and/or have followed the capacity development initiative set up by OEV. This option might not be available to COs before The TDY could be undertaken partly remotely with presence in the CO at peak times of the evaluation process. Alternatively the CD/DCD might opt to hire an external consultant to manage the evaluation process. This can be accomplished remotely, with limited or no presence in the country. Given the nature of the evaluation process, this would not be a full time contract, but rather on a when actually employed basis, with number of days established based on required level of effort at each stage. If option 3 is not feasible because there are no available staff for TDY or the CO is not in a position to meet the costs of the TDY/external consultant, then the CD/ DCD should consider option 4. Option 4: The Regional Evaluation officer (REO) This option should be of last recourse when none of the three others are possible and only available for very small or small COs. Indeed it would be unsustainable for the regional evaluation advisor to manage all decentralized evaluations in his/her region especially those who have many country offices.
12 Annex 2: Quality Support Advisory Mechanism (QS) This outsourced DE QS mechanism is mandatory for all decentralized evaluations. It contributes to: Useful and impartial evaluations which adhere to UN principles and norms and standards; Enhancing capacity across WFP to meet stakeholders' requirements for accountability and learning and in staff capacities to commission, manage and use high-quality decentralized evaluations; Improving the quality of evaluation products through timely feedback; Building evaluation capacity of Evaluation Managers as well as increasing the application of sound approaches and methods within WFP decentralized evaluations; Improving programme quality, organisational learning and knowledge management. This service provides real-time feedback and recommendations for improvements from an evaluation perspective to Evaluation Managers on the following draft decentralized evaluation deliverables: Draft Terms of Reference (ToR) Draft Inception Report (IR) Draft Evaluation Report (ER) Evaluation Managers are responsible for submitting the draft ToR, IR and ER for review. It is expected that feedback and advice received on draft IR and ER will be shared by the Evaluation Manager with the Evaluation Team Leader. The service is available in English, Spanish and French and specifies a review and feedback to the Evaluation Manager as follows: on ToR within 3 working days of receipt; on Inception Report and Evaluation Report within 5 working days.
13 Process to be followed by Evaluation Managers (EMs) to access the service 1. Check that the draft ToR, IR or ER includes all the elements of the corresponding DEQAS template If not, revise the draft ToR or return the draft IR or ER to the Team leader for revision; If yes, go to Send with draft document to be reviewed and submit service request to and cc and your RMEA/REO The service request form is available at the following address: 3. IODPARC to acknowledge receipt and confirm return date for the feedback 4. IODPARC to return completed feedback form in 3 working days for draft ToR; 5 working days for draft IR and ER. 5. For the ToR, the EM makes appropriate changes based on feedback received. For the IR and ER, the EM shares feedback with evaluation team leader to make the appropriate changes based on feedback received 6. Fill in customers satisfaction form on quality and utility of service after feedback received on draft ToR, IR and ER, EM and send by to deqs@iodparc.com and cc wfp.decentralizedevaluation@wfp.org
14 Annex 3: Minimum Required Decentralized Evaluation Coverage Norms Phase 1: To ensure that an evaluation is completed within 3 years in all COs by 2018, regardless of the scope and size, so that every CO builds experience and evaluation capacity. This implies that a CO with no evaluation (either CE or DE) since 2014 undertakes a DE in 2017; and similarly a CO with no evaluation (either CE or DE) since 2015 undertakes a DE in 2018, etc. Phase 2: Evaluation of at least 50% of each country office s portfolio of activities in terms of USD value of resourced (i.e. funded) requirements and implemented through operations or trust funds, by In countries with only one country programme, evaluations can be every five years. All country programmes (either through centralized or decentralized evaluation). Recommended to evaluate: Before scale-up of pilots, innovations, and prototypes; High-risk interventions, where level of risk is established in line with the WFP enterprise risk management policy; Before third repeat of an intervention of similar type (EMOP, PRRO, CP, DEV) and scope.
15 Annex 4: Purpose and role of an Evaluation Reference Group and Evaluation Committee 1. The overall purpose of the evaluation committee (EC) is to ensure a credible, transparent, impartial and quality evaluation process in accordance with WFP Evaluation Policy It will achieve this by supporting the evaluation manager through the process, reviewing evaluation deliverables (ToR, inception report and evaluation report) and submitting them for approval by the CD/DCD who will be the chair of the committee. The CD sets up and chairs an evaluation committee for each evaluation commissioned by his office, in order to: nominate and support the evaluation manager; make decisions on the evaluation budget, funds allocation, selection of the evaluation team; approve ToR, inception and evaluation report. The chair role may be delegated to DCD, but it is important to note that that the chair of the EC CANNOT be delegated to the Deputy Country Director if s/he is the Head of Programme. The EC membership is a subset of the ERG membership (see TN Evaluation Reference Group). While the ERG has only an advisory role, the EC Chair is making the decision on key aspects of the evaluation. 2. The overall purpose of the Evaluation Reference Group (ERG) is to support a credible, transparent, impartial and quality evaluation process in accordance with WFP Evaluation Policy ERG members review and comment on evaluation TOR and deliverables. The ERG members act as experts in an advisory capacity, without management responsibilities. Responsibility for approval of evaluation products rests with the Country Director/Deputy Country Director as Chair of the Evaluation Committee. The ERG always includes external stakeholders. The Chair of the ERG is Country Director or the Deputy Country Director (by delegation). The chair of the ERG can also be delegated to the Evaluation Manager if considered in a senior enough position to engage with external stakeholders. It is important to note that the chair of the ERG CANNOT be delegated to the Head of Programme unless s/he is the Deputy Country Director. Or to the Programme Officer directly in charge of the activities evaluated.
