Relief International is an international non-profit organization that partners with communities impacted by conflict, climate change and disaster to save lives, build greater resilience and promote long-term health and wellbeing.

People living in fragile settings face complex, interconnected and deep-rooted crises that often tear a hole in the social fabric of communities. When this happens, our teams work closely with community leaders; first focusing on critical health needs, and then, as communities recover, focusing on both health and wellbeing programming that helps reweave the social fabric for greater resilience in the future. 

Our team of more than 5,000 staff and local volunteers work in 16 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, providing Health and Nutrition, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), Education and Livelihoods programming that is safe, truly local, conflict sensitive, climate smart, evidence based, and reaches those in need.

Relief International is a 60-year-old international NGO alliance that is the product of mergers and alliances between three organizations. Today, Relief International is comprised of Relief International, Inc., Relief International-France, and Relief International-UK, all of which are led by a single senior leadership team.

Relief International Sudan is a branch of Relief International, Inc. and is registered locally with the Government of Sudan, Federal Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) as an International Non-governmental Organization (INGO). The Country Director is responsible for legal issues within Sudan, subject to compliance with Relief International’s legal Standards and other requirements set by Relief International Headquarters.

ToR preparation of CLTs post – Triggering Monitoring manual

Background

Relief International(RI) is an International humanitarian organization and has been working with the Government of Sudan in Darfur since 2004. RI has offices in North Darfur since 2004 and Blue nile since 2019, working in integrated Health Nutrition and WASH in both the Health facility and community level.

In North Darfur, RI currently implements the BHA ‘Integrated support programming for vulnerable communities in Sudan’ project in Alsayah, Almalha, Elfasher rural and Zamzam camp.  Under this project, in collaboration with MoH, RI has implemented CLTs approaches in Alsayah and Almalha communities since 2019. In year 2021, RI has triggered 20 villages in Alsayah and out of which 12 villages are on the way towards ODF. 92% of the Households in the triggered 20villages have already constructed their own latrines.

Currently RI has an intention to intensify the CLTs post triggering monitoring at these target locations in order to scale-up the CLTs intervention and no slippage occurred in these villages. Communities may be almost ODF or ODF within days or weeks of triggering but the important thing is how to sustain the achievement (no slippage) and scale-up. For this reason, it was found out to be necessary to prepare a post-triggering monitoring manual for formal and informal local community structures and RI staff.

Therefore, the objective of this ToR is to outline the preparation of the post-triggering monitoring manual.

Scope

• Review existing relevant CLTs manuals at National and state level of MoH.
• Establish phases of post-triggering monitoring, what is being monitored at each phase and who is involving.
• Post-triggering monitoring methodology, technique and approach, which comprises up to date lessons learnt.
• Identify the methodologies required to achieve the final goal of improved sanitation.
• Identify potential formal and informal community structures, which can support or be part of the monitoring process.
• Identify community groups, which need targeted additional support to achieve the objective.
• What certifications and verifications to be done and when?
• Responsibilities of different stakeholder during the post-triggering monitoring, certification and verification.
• Detail steps/methodology of facilitation for monitoring for example FGDs, review meetings…etc.
• What indicators of change or milestones to establish and follow
• Data and information collection/flow.
• Tips and Recommendations for monitoring and scaling-up.

Deliverables

• Draft post-triggering manual should be submitted for review and approval before the final version.
• In consultation with RI, organize a meeting/Workshop with RI and MoH participation for presentation of the draft manual.
• Final Post triggering manual in English and local language with good illustration and attractive design in both hard and soft copies that incorporates all the comments.
