Nepal Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Programme

Terms of Reference for conducting

"Review of Results Achieved under Resilient Communities through Building Back

Better project being implemented in Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha district under

ECHO funding Sindhupalchowk"

Duration: 15 Days (spread over November to December 2017).

Duty Station: Kathmandu with field visit to project sites in Dolakha and

Sindhupalchowk

Contract Modality: Individual Consultant (1 person)

Background:

UNDP has been implementing Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Programme

(CDRMP) since 2011 in close coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs (as focal

ministry) and other concerned ministries including the National Planning Commission. The

formulated as part of the Strategic Partnership Framework signed between the United

Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/ Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery

(BCPR) and UNDP and in accordance with the Nepal Risk Reduction Consortium, aims to

strengthen the institutional and legislative aspects of disaster risk management (DRM) in

Nepal. Its areas of interventions: institutional and legal system in DRM, climate risk

management (CRM), community-based disaster risk management, emergency

preparedness, response and early recovery (EPRER) and ultimately strengthen the overall

system of DRM in Nepal. Participatory monitoring and evaluation, knowledge

management and communication are the cross-cutting themes across its all program

components.

The April 2015 earthquake exposed the high vulnerability of rural poor in most of the 31

affected districts (14 districts declared by the government as the most affected ones).

The ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) figures indicate casualty of 8,979 with 199 people still

missing, while PDNA notes that the number of houses fully or partially damaged

exceeded 7,50,000 in all of the 14 most affected districts. The situation after removal of

construction debris at site depicted that there was tendency of repairing the house or

reconstructing the house using Build as Usual practices. The house owners in rural areas

were eager to rebuild their houses at the earliest. The biggest risk at that time was that

unless specific measures were initiated aimed at the poor, vulnerable and marginalized

households, they might end up rebuilding pre-existing vulnerabilities. The available

masons did not have adequate knowledge and experience in conventional methods of

re-strengthening the houses. Many of these techniques are explained in existing NBC, but

they are unaware of this. Hence, in order to build back better shelters/ housing, erstwhile

need was to emphasize on quick delivery of earthquake resistant advisory support to the

local masons/artisans as well as to the house owners.

UNDP through its Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Programme (CDRMP)

mobilized its resources to raise awareness on safer reconstruction through different

initiatives like Mobile Technological Clinics (MTC) campaigns in Dolakha,

Sindhupalchowk, Gorkha and other districts, organizing Rural Housing Technology

competition among private Engineers and consulting firms with partnership with Nepal

Engineering Council (NEC), training to over 700 Engineers on rapid visual assessment and

others. Besides, CDRMP supported the three municipalities namely Chautara and

Melamchi of Sindhupalchowk and Panchkhal of Kavre districts for safer reconstruction.

With funding support from ECHO, UNDP under CDRMP started the project entitled

“Resilient Communities through Building Back Better in Districts most severely affected by

2015 Earthquake”, in May 2016 in the erstwhile 5 VDCs each in Sidhupalchowk and

Dolakha districts with specific focus on the poor and vulnerable people in the rural areas,

to equip them with knowledge, skills and resources to rebuild in a resilient manner

reducing their vulnerabilities in the process.

The project basically is focused on three outputs: preparation of reconstruction action

plans of the fives VDCs in the two districts, training of 450 masons through on-the-job

training to construct 40 technology demonstration houses and providing socio-technical

support to the house-owners through the Awas Nirman Sathis and Mobile Technology

Clinics in ensuring earthquake safe features during reconstruction of their houses.

However, during the modification of the project in July 2017, outputs have been revised

and the final outputs of the projects are given in the table below:

Project Location, Beneficiaries, Duration and Budget:

The project is being implemented in four wards of Sangachok-Gadhi Chautara

Municipality (earlier Kubhinde and Irkhu VDCs) and in six wards of Indrawati Rural

Municipality (earlier 3 VDCs namely Bhotsipa, Sipapokhare and Badegaun) in

Sindhupalhcowk district and in four wards of Charikot Municipality (earlier two VDCs

namely Boch and Lankuridanda) and six wards of Shailung Rural Municipality (earlier

three VDCs namely Fasku, Katakuti, and Magapauwa)

Total of 11,052 households/families affected by the 2015 EQ are the beneficiaries of the

project. However, the number of beneficiaries vary with the specific objectives. More

specifically, these 11052 are the beneficiaries of all the activities of the project i.e.

Technology Demonstration Houses, Reconstruction Action Plans, trained artisans

(masons/carpenters) and awareness raising through MTCs and Awan Nirman Saathi.

The project commenced in May 2016 with its end date of August 2017. Later on, the

project was extended on no-cost extension basis till the end of Dec 2017. Thus, total

duration of the project is 20 months between May 2016 to Dec 2017. The total approved

budget for the project is 956,750 EUROS.

Overview of the Project Implementation and Updates on Results:

Implementation Approach: Project Executive Board (PEB) co-led by Ministry of Home Affairs and UNDP, is the apex

institution to provide strategic directions, key decisions and guidance in project

implementation. Project's annual plans and progress are approved by the Project

Executive Board of CDRMP. The project works very closely with the Ministry of Home

Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Population and Environment, the Ministry of

Federal Affairs and Local Development and the Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation

to ensure proper coordination and collaborations from central level to local level through

their respective district level agencies. This ECHO funded project is also being

implemented under the same mechanism. However, being reconstruction focused,

other key stakeholders include National Reconstruction Authority (NRA), Department of

Urban Development and Building Construction (DUDBC) and ECHO's country portfolio in

Nepal.

At the district level, the project activities are being implemented with close

coordination with District Disaster Relief Committee (DDRC) chaired by Chief

District Officer (CDO), District Coordination Committee (DCC – earlier DDC),

National Reconstruction Authority's district unit, DUDBC's district unit and other

stakeholders supporting the overall reconstruction process in the districts.

Human Resource Mobilization: Overall management of the ECHO funded project

falls under CDRMP's administrative and financial management. CDRMP's regular

staff (National Programme Manager, Senior Project Officer, Project Officer-

M&E/KM/GESI, Admin/Finance Officer and drivers) are supporting the project

implementation. However, there is separate ECHO team at center (Project

Coordinator and Admin/Finance Assistant) and district teams (one team

comprising of District Project Officer, District Engineer and Senior Social Worker in

each of the two districts). The district team is mainly responsible for effective and

efficient implementation of project activities with close coordination with the

district level stakeholders. The district teams in each district are supported through

a team of junior staff (Junior Engineer, Overseer/Sub-Engineer, Awas Nirman

Saathi- trained masons, Community Mobilizers) for delivering the project outputs.

In order to better manage these junior staff in the field, CDRMP hired two local

NGOs namely SUK-Nepal in Sindhupalchowk and DJSS in Dolakha. The main

responsibility of these NGOs is to effectively manage the junior staff

administratively. However, in the later period (during Aug-Sep 2017), few software

activities were also attached to these organizations, those include local level

coordination and hand over meetings/workshops.

Updates on Results as of Sep 2017: Key Achievements:

The indicative major achievements of the project under its different outputs are

given below:

Reconstruction Action Plan (RAP)

• Reconstruction Action Plans for all the 10 project VDCs have been prepared and

handed over to the respective local authorities (ward level).

• RAP, being a dynamic document, is being updated on monthly basis in coordination

with the local stakeholders (house-owners, Municipality/rural municipalities)

Technology Demonstration Houses (TDHs):

• Total of 40 TDHs, 4 each in each of the 10 VDCs, have been constructed. Additional

25 TDHs (added for extension period) are ongoing, 15 in Dolakha and 10 in

Sindhupalchowk.

• 421 local artisans (masons and carpenters) have been trained through On-the-Job-

Trainings (OJTs) integrated as part of construction process of these TDHs. Around 129

artisans are planned to be trained in the extension period to reach the total target

of 550 masons.

• Over 5000 house-owners have been oriented at key stages of TDHs construction.

Technical Facilitation to House-owners for safer reconstruction

• Out of 500 target House-owners who build their houses with direct technical

facilitation through project's Awas Nirman Saathi, around 400 house-owners have

been technically supported from start to completion of their houses.

• Of all the 11052 HHs of the ten VDCs as target households for awareness raising,

around 15000 households have been reached through MTC campaigns and house-

house visits by ANSs.

Objectives of the Review:

The purpose of this review is to assess the results (expected outputs and outcomes of the

project as mentioned above in major four areas: Reconstruction Action Plans (RAPs) are

owned by the local authorities (gaunpalikas/nagarpalikas) and RAPs are supporting in

local reconstruction, TDHs are demonstrative for local people and house-owners are

adopting the housing typologies, the trained artisans (masons/carpenters) have proper

skills on the rural housing technologies and are supporting reconstruction in the districts,

and public/house-owners of project areas have better understanding and awareness for

constructing safer houses. The specific objectives are:

• To assess usefulness of the Reconstruction Action Plans (RAPs) in facilitating the

reconstruction in the project VDCs (now respective gaunpalikas/nagarpalikas)

and their potential as effective community based instruments by Gaupalikas/

Ward members to guide reconstruction works.

• To assess TDHs constructed under the project in terms of: (I) targeting -gender and

social inclusion considerations with focus on marginalised community members,

(ii) appropriateness of technologies: hazard resistance, cost effectiveness,

replicability, use of local materials, and participation of the house owners. To

assess the usefulness of TDH in technology transfer to the communities and artisans.

• To assess effectiveness of OJT for local artisans during TDH construction and post-

training status of trained artisans supporting local reconstruction process. • To assess role of socio-technical facilitations by the project through Aawas Nirman

Saathi, Mobile Van Technological Clinics (MTCs), community mobilizers and

technical staff in reconstruction process particularly the evidence based

feedback from the community stakeholders.

• To recommend for appropriate mechanisms/approaches for strengthening

ownership by the local authorities and identifying potential learning for larger

reconstruction process led by the Government of Nepal/ NRA.

Scope of Work:

The proposed review will include the in-depth assessment of design, delivery with

focus on the results of the initiatives/activities delivered by the project. Though

the scope of this review is not intended as an evaluation, it is intended to

document and assess the results with reference to relevancy, efficiency,

effectiveness and sustainability criteria of evaluation. In addition, the review

should indicate if the produced results are in the right direction towards

facilitating the reconstruction effort of the Government of Nepal/NRA in the

project areas.

The review could adopt the following indicative criteria:
