Tenders are invited for Terms of Reference for Conducting Baseline Evaluation for Project Gender-Responsive Food Security, Wash, Gbv and Primary Health Services for Women, Girls and Crisis-Affected Communities. The goal of the project is to save lives, reduce vulnerability, and strengthen the resilience of refugees, returnees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and vulnerable host communities affected by the Sudan crisis by increasing access to quality, gender-responsive primary health care, safe WASH services, GBV prevention and response, and sustainable food security and livelihood opportunities in Pariang and Renk Counties, South Sudan. The evaluation will cover all project intervention areas in: Pariang County (Unity State) and Renk County (Upper Nile State) and shall include Refugees, Returnees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), host communities, women, men, girls, boys, older persons, persons with disabilities, community leaders, health workers and government counterparts. The project has four (4) results: 1.FSL: the project enhances food security for vulnerable households through a combination of cash and voucher assistance, community-based targeting, and market monitoring. It promotes nutritionsensitive practices, supports local food initiatives, and strengthens household food production and dietary diversity, while integrating awareness-raising and participatory learning approaches. 2.WASH: focuses on increasing access to safe, dignified, and gender-sensitive WASH services. Activities include the construction and rehabilitation of water and sanitation infrastructure, distribution of hygiene kits, and community-based hygiene promotion. The project also strengthens local WASH management systems, supports menstrual hygiene management, and ensures preparedness for disease outbreaks 3.Protection: the project strengthens GBV prevention and response by providing survivor-centered services such as case management, psychosocial support, and emergency assistance. It establishes safe spaces for women and girls, builds capacity of service providers, and promotes community awareness and engagement to reduce protection risks and improve access to support services. 4.Health: improves access to inclusive and gender-responsive primary healthcare services. This includes rehabilitating health facilities, delivering integrated sexual and reproductive health services, ensuring availability of essential medicines, and strengthening health system capacity through training and supervision.

Purpose / Objectives of the evaluation Purpose: why is the evaluation taking place and who are the users of the findings? The purpose of the baseline evaluation is to establish benchmark values for all project indicators before implementation, assess the current humanitarian situation of the target population, validate project assumptions, and generate evidence to inform implementation, monitoring, adaptive management, and the end-line evaluation. The baseline will serve as the reference point for an endline measurement. Indicators whose sources of verification rely on routine project monitoring systems, administrative records, or activity-based reporting will not be measured through the baseline study, as their baseline values are defined through implementation tracking systems rather than primary baseline measurement.
