Background

The UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women (UN Trust Fund) is a global multi-lateral grant making mechanism supporting national efforts to prevent and end violence against women and girls (EVAW/G). The UN Trust Fund was established through the UN General Assembly Resolution 50/166 in 1996 with UN Women as its Administrator on behalf of the UN system. The UN Trust Fund provides grants to advance the development of innovative models and strategic interventions in the area of EVAW/G. Grantees – comprising governments and non-governmental organizations - have engaged diverse actors, such as women’s, men’s, adolescents and youth groups, indigenous communities, religious and traditional leaders, human rights organizations and the media. To date, the UN Trust Fund has awarded US $140 million to 493 initiatives in 139 countries and territories.

The UN Trust Fund introduced external evaluation as a mandatory stage of project cycle management for all grantees in 2012 in recognition of the importance of evaluation to align with UN Women policies and procedures. Since then more than 100 external evaluations have been produced. One of the key objectives set out in the UN Trust Fund’s Strategy 2015-2020 is to create an evidence and learning hub to collect and reflect on the depth of knowledge and lessons learned through the work of its grantees. This will be achieved partly through improving the UN Trust Fund’s evaluation practice and results monitoring to produce high quality, useful evidence and supporting grantees to improve their own capacity in data collection, monitoring and evaluation, and in generating evidence

In 2016, the UN Trust Fund’s commissioned a Meta Evaluation of final, external evaluations to assess the quality and to make recommendations on how evaluation practices could be improved. The analysis concluded that there were particular challenges for small organizations to produce good quality evaluations due to insufficient budgets and lack of capacity to manage the process. Due to this the UN Trust Fund made a decision to centralize final, external evaluations for projects implemented by small organizations receiving small grants[1] —presenting an opportunity to build upon existing capacity development activities and move toward a coaching relationship with evaluation task mangers from small CSOs.

This is the second year the UN Trust Fund has centralized evaluations for small grants and is now seeking the services of a national consultant, or consultancy firm, to conduct a final external evaluation of three different EVAW grants in the same ECA region implemented between 1 March 2017 and 29 February 2020. The evaluation process will be initiated by 29 February 2020 and will be completed by 31 May 2020. The following projects in Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia have been identified for this thematic cluster evaluation of EVAW projects funded by the UN Trust Fund.

Project Summaries:

  1. The Women's Forum - Tetovo (Macedonia) has been working to expand its free legal clinic for survivors of domestic violence to include financial skills courses, life skills trainings and group counselling. It also conducts research among survivors about their experiences with service providers to identify key areas for improvement and work with the police, social service workers, local municipalities and health-care providers to create a multisectoral strategy to better protect women at risk of domestic violence and to ensure a more streamlined process of victim support with better identification and referral. The aim of the UN Trust Fund project is that, through expanded multisectoral services, survivors of domestic violence will learn valuable life and financial skills and feel empowered to confidently re-enter society and break the cycle of violence. An awareness campaign, which includes youth presentations, round table discussions with Orthodox and Muslim clergy, public debates, and workshops on domestic violence, harassment, and discrimination have initiated dialogue about VAW/G and promoted an environment throughout the Tetovo Region with the aim of creating an environment in which VAW/G is not tolerated and women of all ages understand their legal rights and feel empowered to claim them. [See Annex A for results chain]
  2. The SOS Hotline for Women and Children Victims of Violence, Niksic (Montenegro) operates in economically disadvantaged and geographically isolated communities with strong patriarchal social norms in the central and northern regions of Montenegro, where women are at high risk of violence and there is no available support. In three out of four of the targeted municipalities, there are no women’s NGOs or specialized support services for VAW/G survivors. The UN Trust Fund project is designed to facilitate access for women and girls in three remote municipalities in the northern region to the national helpline, shelters, counselling, information and rehabilitation, with particular focus on Roma and Albanian speaking survivors. In addition, the project seeks to establish coordinated local community interventions in four towns in central and northern Montenegro and develop information packages to enable targeted information sharing, referral and communication with survivors and other stakeholders in the community. [See Annex B for results chain]
  3. The Center for Girls (Serbia) aims to raise young women’s awareness of the risks of violence and help them identify it and respond accordingly. The intended outcomes of the UN Trust Fund project are that in two years high-school girls in four cities in Serbia improve their confidence and are equipped with knowledge about gender-based violence prevention and report unwanted sexual activity and/or violence. In addition, eight girls will have gained the necessary knowledge and skills to deliver peer-based workshops in high-schools on gender-based violence. Through performances delivered in high schools, the intended result is that students reduce prejudices and improve attitudes and behaviour with regard to women and girls’ legal/human rights. A media campaign was delivered in the four target cities to help raise public awareness and encourage active responses to gender-based violence. [See Annex C for results chain] 

Justification for the consultancy

This consultancy is intended to provide the UN Trust Fund Secretariat with an external, independent, final evaluation of a cluster of small grants being implemented in Europe and Central Asia (ECA)—namely, Empowering Survivors of Domestic Violence in the Tetovo Region (Macedonia); Improving Access to Life with No Violence for Women Survivors in Central and Northern Montenegro; and Actively and Publicly Combating Discrimination – Gender-Based Violence (Serbia).

The evaluation presents an opportunity to evaluate the UN Trust Fund’s contribution in the region. Moreover, given that all three projects have invested in campaigns as part of their intervention strategy, combined with their own unique constellation of accompanying project activities – Serbia being primarily prevention (campaigns) only, Montenegro combining campaigns with support to survivors and Macedonia combining campaigns with direct support to survivors as well as essential services coordination –, it provides a strategic opportunity to explore the potential impact of EVAW advocacy and awareness campaigns in different implementation modalities.

[1] Small grants refer to UN Trust Fund awards of US$ 125,000 or less in 2017 and US$ 150,000 or less from 2018.

Coherence

The extent to which other interventions support or undermine the intervention, and vice versa. Includes internal coherence and external coherence.

  1. How are these EVAW campaign strategies compatible with other interventions in their respective countries? In the region?
  2. What are the synergies and linkages between the intervention strategies carried out across the grantee organizations? Compared to small women’s led organizations within the same context?

Sustainability

Sustainability is concerned with measuring whether the benefits of a project are likely to continue after the project/funding ends.

  1. To what extent are the achieved results, especially any positive changes in the lives of women and girls (project goal level), likely to continue?
