End of Project Evaluation of the Strengthening Coordination

Introduction and background information: Save the Children has been operational in Kenya since the 1950s, providing support to children through developmental and humanitarian relief programmes delivered both directly and through local partners. Current programming focuses on child protection, child rights governance, education, health, HIV/AIDS, livelihoods, nutrition and WASH. In 2012, as part of a global reorganization process, Save the Children combined the programmes of SC UK, SC Canada and SC Finland to create a single operation in Kenya. In Feb 2014, we completed a second transition, which saw us join forces with the British INGO, Merlin, and merge their health and nutrition programmes with our own. Save the Children now has an operational presence in Bungoma, Dadaab Refugee Camp, Garissa, Mandera, Turkana and Wajir and we work through partners in many other parts of the country. We employ more than 300 staff and have an operating annual budget in 2014 of approximately US$25 Million.The Kenya Programme invites applications from interested individual Consultants & Consultancy firms to express their interest for the provision of consultancy services in the evaluation of the ‘Strengthening coordination, creating community demand for uptake and increasing access to key maternal, new-born and child health interventions in Loima and Turkana Central districts of Turkana County” projectProject Objectives The overall goal of the project is to contribute to reduction of maternal, neonatal, child and morbidity and mortality in Turkana Central and Loima sub-counties of Turkana County of Kenya.
