JOB TITLE Consultancy for the development of the feasibility study for the programme Prevention of Causes of Forced Displacement and Reintegration of Migrants, Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons and Returnees in Colombia and Ecuador. ABOUT THE CALLER As a humanitarian organisation of the German Catholic Church, Caritas Germany has been providing aid in situations of disasters or armed conflicts and supporting social development projects with various target groups for more than 60 years. From its headquarters in Freiburg and Berlin, Germany, it supports around 600 projects in more than 80 countries. Currently, Caritas Germany, together with its local partners, is implementing humanitarian aid programmes for refugees and host communities in Colombia and Ecuador, as well as projects to improve the socio-economic and ecological situation of the population, to strengthen the resilience and food security of migrant families in the region. OBJECTIVES OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDY Assessment of the feasibility of the programme Prevention of Causes of Forced Displacement and Reintegration of Migrants, Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons and Returnees in Colombia and Ecuador. The development of the study should be a participatory exercise involving recipients, teams, organisations and institutions that will be part of the planned programme. The study will be an important input for the development of the final programme proposal that will be submitted to the BMZ. Criteria related to the content of the study: The focus, scope and depth of the feasibility study should be appropriate to the complexity and scope of the planned programme in question, as well as its political, economic and cultural context, taking into account the problems of cross-border migration. It should analyse the problem, as well as the target groups and the parties involved; contain (for example, as an annex) a baseline study, and carry out a critical examination of the planned programme according to the criteria of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD): i) Relevance, ii) Effectiveness, iii) Efficiency, iv) Significance and v) Sustainability (see Annex 1). A special focus is directed at women and their potential to improve their marginalised situation as migrants and as victims of sexual violence and harassment. The aim of this approach is to identify both adequate physical and psychological protection measures and an increase in the representation of women in processes of citizen participation and claiming their rights and, therefore, to integrate efficient mechanisms into the programme to reduce violence. On this basis, recommendations should be formulated for the concept and measures of the programme. Another special approach is aimed at minors (boys, girls, adolescents, children and adolescents), especially unaccompanied minors. [Disclaimer: The above text is machine translated.
