As part of the implementation of the ECOWAS Regional Agricultural Policy (ECOWAP), the Economic Community of West African States, through the Regional Agency for Agriculture and Food, is implementing phase 3 of the Regional Support Programme for Professional Farmers' Organizations. The PRAOP3 is funded by the ECOWAS Commission and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

The programme aims to contribute to increased investment in local milk value chains in order to expand decent and remunerative employment opportunities for unemployed or underemployed youth, while contributing to the reduction of rural exodus and uncontrolled emigration in West Africa.

The program is structured around the following three components:

1. Promotion of techno-economic models contributing to the strengthening of the employability of young people in the agro-sylvo-pastoral and fisheries value chains, with a particular emphasis on the promotion of local milk.

2. Creation of an enabling environment for the development of efficient, inclusive and job-creating local milk value chains.

3. Strengthening of ECOWAP's operational capacities and strategic steering.

The PRAOP3 intervenes through twenty-four field projects implemented in twelve countries, namely Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo and Chad. These projects are carried out by organizations of various kinds, including professional organizations, non-governmental organizations, cooperatives, networks and companies.

The main interventions concern the improvement of milk production and livestock feed, the collection, processing and distribution of local dairy products, capacity building and vocational training, the creation and consolidation of jobs for young people, the development of financial and non-financial services as well as the improvement of the institutional and economic environment of the sector.

The main expected results of the programme include increasing decent and remunerative employment opportunities for young people, improving the technical and economic performance of local milk value chains, developing viable technical and economic models, improving the conditions for the emergence of efficient value chains, strengthening the integration capacities of young people and strengthening the institutional capacities of ECOWAS and DADR.

The overall cost of the programme is estimated at 7,648,651,200 CFA francs, of which 77% will be financed by the SDC, 18% by ECOWAS and 5% by the field project leaders. The programme, initially planned for a period of five years, has been extended by twelve months. The exact contractual dates of start-up, initial closure and revised closure will have to be verified in the financing agreement and its amendment before publication of these terms of reference.

1. 1. Project Objectives:

The overall objective of the PRAOP3 project is to improve young women and men's access to decent and remunerative jobs in local milk value chains within the targeted areas, through initiatives led by ECOWAS, States, socio-professional agricultural organizations and the private sector.

 

1.2 Project Implementation Arrangements

The operational components relating to the technical and economic models and the favourable environment are implemented, for a large part, according to a delegated implementation modality. The project leaders were selected by call for projects, then supported by the ARAA in the various stages of contractualization, start-up, execution, monitoring, justification and closure of their grants.

A start-up and capacity-building workshop made it possible to officially launch the field projects, to harmonise the understanding of the technical and administrative requirements and to facilitate exchanges between ARAA, the Swiss Cooperation and the project leaders. Supervision and support missions were then carried out during implementation.

The faire-faire system, including the design of the call for projects, the selection, the contractualization, the financing, the support, the monitoring, the risk management and the closure of the grants, is in this respect a specific purpose of evaluation and capitalization.

2. Objectives and Scope of the Mission
3. 1. Overall objectives

The general objective of the mission is to carry out the final evaluation of the PRAOP3, to capitalize on its experiences, innovations, achievements, limitations and lessons. The mission will thus have to report on the performance of the program, strengthen institutional learning and provide directly usable guidelines for the consolidation, replication or scaling up of the most relevant models.

 

1. 2. Specific objectives

The mission has the following specific objectives:

• 1. Assess the relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, effects, contribution to impact and sustainability of PRAOP3, taking into account its regional context and national specificities.
• 2. Verify the level of achievement of the program's results and indicators, clearly distinguishing between physical achievements, results, commitments, contractualizations, disbursements, executed expenditures and justified expenditures.
• 3. Analyze the program's contributions to the creation, consolidation and quality of jobs for young women and men in the different links of the local milk value chains.
• 4. Document, according to a common framework, the experiences of the twenty-four field projects and the trajectories of the techno-economic models implemented.
• 5. Identify and analyse good practices, technical, organisational, institutional and financial innovations, as well as difficulties, instructive failures and unexpected results, explaining their mechanisms and conditions for success or failure.
• 6. Assess the added value, limitations, transaction costs and conditions of effectiveness of the call for projects scheme, from the design of the call to the closing of the grants.
• 7. Analyze gender, inclusion, climate resilience, insecurity, governance, ownership, partnerships and sustainability perspectives in a cross-cutting manner.
• 8. Produce differentiated knowledge materials for decision-making, advocacy, learning and sharing of programme outcomes formulate strategic options as well as forward-looking scenarios based on the potential of each experience to guide regional policy dialogue (ECOWAP) and future ARAA interventions

Propose operational modalities and advocacy tools to transfer and integrate the achievements of the programme into the national public policies and budgets of Member States.

 

2.3 Evaluation Scope

• Thematic scope

The mission will cover the three components of the PRAOP3. It will pay in-depth attention to field projects, techno-economic models, employment and sustainable integration of young people, the development of local milk value chains, the institutional environment, strategic management and the go-to system.

The analysis will cover design, governance, planning, monitoring and evaluation, procurement where relevant, grant management, disbursements, technical and financial execution, risk management, partnerships, results delivery and sustainability.

• Geographic scope and sampling

The twenty-four field projects will be covered by the documentary review and by exchanges with their leaders. An in-depth field survey will be carried out on a reasoned sample including, as a common basis for costing, at least ten projects in at least six countries. The number and final list of countries and projects will be decided by the ARAA on the proposal of the consultant in the framework note.

The sample should represent geographical and linguistic diversity, categories of carriers, links in the value chains, technical themes, performance levels, cross-border projects, participation of young women and men, contexts of fragility or insecurity and the different partnership modalities. When security or logistical conditions do not allow travel, the consultant will propose an alternative method of remote collection, without compromising the quality of the data.

• Temporal scope

The evaluation will cover the period from the design of the PRAOP3 to the date of the mission, including the preparation and selection of projects, their contracting, their implementation, their monitoring and the closure processes already underway. The capitalization will include a retrospective look at the previous phases, in particular in order to assess the future of the achievements and the consideration of previous recommendations, as well as a prospective look at the consolidation, the scaling up of results and the positioning in the context of the implementation of the ECOWAP@35.

• Stakeholders to consult

1. the managers and technical teams of the ARAA and the CRU of PRAOP3;

2. the relevant services of the ECOWAS Commission, in particular the DADR;

Strategy to impact national policies based on results

8. A complete, editable and reusable documentary heritage is transferred to ARAA.

 

IV. Evaluation Methodology

• General approach

The mission will be based on a mixed, participatable, comparative and results-oriented approach. It will combine the quantitative analysis of indicators, physical results and financial data with an in-depth qualitative analysis of experiences, perceptions, mechanisms, trajectories and contexts.

The final methodology will be proposed by the consultant and validated in the scoping note. It should make it possible to answer all the evaluation and capitalization questions, to guarantee comparability between projects and to produce conclusions that are robust enough to support decision-making.

• Documentary review and reconstruction of the intervention logic

The consultant will conduct a systematic review of available documents, including design documents, financing agreements and amendments, logical frameworks, annual work plans and budgets, technical and financial reports, monitoring databases, grant contracts, mission reports, audit reports, relevant procurement documents, sponsor reports, communication products, evaluations and previous capitalizations.

The mission will reconstruct or update the PRAOP3 theory of change, clarify the results chains and identify the main assumptions, risks and external factors. An evaluation matrix will present, for each question, the indicators or elements of assessment, the sources, the collection methods and the methods of analysis.

1. Individual semi-structured interviews with institutional managers, project leaders, partners and value chain actors;

2. Focus groups with young women, young men and other categories of beneficiaries;

3. direct observations of infrastructures, equipment, production, collection, processing and distribution units;

4. Stories of significant change, timelines, capitalization workshops and trajectory analyses;

5. Collection and verification of quantitative data on beneficiaries, jobs, volumes, productivity, sales, revenues, investments and financing;

6. Simplified economic analysis of techno-economic models, including costs, revenues, profitability, working capital requirements, subsidy dependence and sustainability conditions;

7. questionnaires or digital collection tools, where their use is justified by the availability of data and the size of the groups concerned.

• Sampling and comparability

The consultant will propose a well-argued sampling plan. He will ensure that the projects selected for the field visits cover the main technical, economic, institutional and geographical configurations. A common grid will be applied to the twenty-four projects in order to allow the comparison of results, mechanisms, costs, success factors and sustainability risks. The consultant will have to pay attention to the "Most Significant Change Narrative" to capture the real impact on the lives of young women and men beyond the simple numbers.

• Analysis, triangulation and validation

The data will be analysed using appropriate quantitative and qualitative methods. The results will be triangulated between documents, monitoring data, interviews, focus groups and observations. Discrepancies between sources will be explained rather than hidden.

The consultant will conduct debriefing sessions with the ARAA at the end of the collection and present preliminary findings before final drafting. Stakeholder feedback will be reviewed in a transparent manner, without compromising the independence of evaluative judgment.

• Gender, Youth and Inclusion

Gender, youth and inclusion will be treated as cross-cutting methodological requirements. Data on beneficiaries and jobs will be disaggregated at least by sex and age group where sources allow. The sample will ensure effective representation of young women and less visible groups.

Separate focus groups will be organized when the socio-cultural context warrants. Timings, locations, languages and modalities of consultation should encourage the participation of women, people with low literacy skills and disadvantaged groups. The analysis will include access to resources, control of resources, training, equipment, financing, the market and decision-making spaces.

• Ethics, privacy and data protection

The scoping note will identify anticipated limitations related in particular to the quality of baseline data, the availability of beneficiaries, the geographical dimension, security constraints, language differences, the closure schedule and difficulties in attributing effects. The consultant will specify the planned mitigation measures.

• Scope of the mission

The scoping note will identify anticipated limitations related in particular to the quality of baseline data, the availability of beneficiaries, the geographical dimension, security constraints, language differences, the closure schedule and difficulties in attributing effects. The consultant will specify the planned mitigation measures.
