Lebanese Red Cross Branch Development Programme evaluation

After addressing the critical organizational priorities, LRC initiated discussions with the Danish Red Cross and Norwegian Red Cross to support a long-term branch development programme.

 

LRC and DRC agreed in 2015 to collaborate on a 3-year (2016-2018) branch capacity development project, subject to renewal for an additional 3 years, if the first round objectives are achieved.

 

The project was intended to rank, assess and identify clearer priorities for BD (branch development) for all LRC branches, thus enhancing their institutional and operational Red Cross identity, while more intensively target at least 8 of the 32 branches to become empowered to better undertake integrated planning and develop community based service to vulnerable people.

 

In 2017, the Norwegian Red Cross also started supporting the branch development programme as part of its overall support to the LRC’s Organizational Development Programme.

 

The initial programme description was written in early 2016, with the pilot phase starting in June 2016 and ending in Dec 2016. The programme objectives were adjusted in early 2017 and then again after the first full year of implementation in 2017. After almost two and a half years of implementation, LRC and its partners would like to commission an external review of the branch development programme in order to solicit input on the relevance of the overall direction of the programme and identify possibilities for improvement.

 

 

  1. Overall Objective:

 

The overall objective of the consultancy will be to evaluate the achievements of the branch development programme to date, evaluate the overall relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the programme and to provide recommendations for the coming 2 years of implementation.

 

 

  1. Specific objectives:
    1. Review initial programme description and subsequent changes documented in the annual reports and evaluate actual results 
    2. Evaluate perception of branch development programme among key internal stakeholders
    3. Provide input into the relevance and overall direction of the programme
    4. Review and evaluate programme documentation and monitoring
    5. Highlight key achievements and deficiencies of the programme
    6. Provide specific and prioritized recommendations for the next two years
