U.S. Embassy Jobs - The U. S. Embassy in Yaoundé is seeking Request for Proposals for Independent External Evaluation & Audit of the Food for Progress

Job & Business Opportunities

Request for Proposals for Independent External Evaluation and Audit of the Food for Progress Program FY 2004 in Cameroon

Draft Terms of Reference (ToR) for an Independent External Evaluation and Audit of the Food for Progress 2004 Program in Cameroon

1. Background information

In line with the Food for Progress (FFP) Act of 1985 and Convention No 1281/MINEPAT/SG/DCET/AA/AA2 and No OGSM: FGR-631-2004/167-00, between the Government of the United States of America (USG) and the Government of Cameroon (GoC) represented by Cameroon’s Ministry of Economy, Planning and Regional Development (MINEPAT), CARE International in Cameroon was contracted as the main Recipient Agency (RA) for the Food for Progress 2004 (FFP04) Program. This was formalised through Agreement No 1281/MINEPAT/SG/DCET/AA/AA2 between CARE and MINEPAT on September 28, 2004 aimed at financing community development that will integrate agriculture and nutrition to enhance household livelihood security in vulnerable communities in the Adamawa and East Regions of Cameroon. In order to ensure efficient program implementation, further provisions were made for CARE to sub-contract part of the agricultural production component of the FFP04 program to IITA while the micro-finance component was sub-contracted to Credit du Sahel (CDS). This program ended with the exit of CARE as the RA and the coming in of CANADEL. At the end of the program implementation, the executing team was made up of CANADEL and IITA, with Credit du Sahel and APLHA FUND as the micro-credit institutions.

The implementation of this $3.66 million USDA / GoC funded program began on January 1st 2005 and extended beyond the initial completion date with an extension period that got the program implementation to a close on January 31, 2009. CARE received the global amount of $3.66 million and disbursed approved funds to the different sub-implementing organizations for project oversight, agricultural production for income generation, community development and nutrition to enhance household livelihood security in vulnerable communities in the Adamawa and East Regions of Cameroon and sub-granting to partner organizations for other technical aspects. IITA as a sub-implementing organization received from CARE part of the funds and was involved in the program implementation from the beginning to the close of the program implementation.

The implementation of the micro-credit component of this program began in 2006 with Credit du Sahel (CDS) while ALPHA Fund joined the program in 2007. The offices of both financial institutions were created in the program regions to provide lending at an accessible rate to farmer groups for agricultural production and marketing.

The supervisory body of this program was the FFP04 Review Committee chaired by the Permanent Secretary of MINEPAT. This was made up of representatives of the Ministries of Agriculture and Rural development (MINADER), the Ministry of Health (MINSANTE), the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Regional Development (MINEPAT), the main RA, CARE and the U.S. Embassy. The sub-implementing organization IITA also attended the Steering Committee which never sat during the extension phase of the program, with CANADEL.

The project formally came to an end in December, 2007. The Food for Progress FY2004 review committee approved a six months no-cost extension of the program. CARE closed its activities on December 2007 and handed over the program coordination and implementation to CANADEL and IITA from July 15, 2008 to January 31, 2009. The available unspent funds and all the equipment and materials bought with Program funds were transferred from CARE to CANADEL and IITA on that date. The extension phase was under the general guidance of the Food for Progress review committee. In order to officially close out this program, an independent external evaluation and audit has to be carried out in the Adamawa and East Regions by July 06th 2011.

2. Evaluation objectives

• Assess the individual management of the FFP04 funds by CARE, IITA, Credit du Sahel, Alpha Fund, CANADEL, and Canal de Développement and evaluate:

  ii. If the funds were rightly spent according to the terms of the agreements.
  iii. The institutional capacity and sustainability of the program activities.
  iv. The amount and location of any unspent funds and procured assets.
  v. The strengths and weaknesses of the different program components.

• Assess the program’s impact towards increased agricultural productivity through improved methodologies for financing the rural development project that will integrate agriculture and nutrition to enhance household livelihood security in vulnerable communities of the Adamawa and East Provinces of Cameroon.
• Identify program achievements worth strengthening.
• Assess if the methodology used was transparent and adapted to the context.

Job & Business Opportunities

Terms of Reference (ToR) for an Independent External Evaluation and Audit of the Food for Progress 2003 Program in Cameroon

1. Background information

In line with the Food for Progress (FFPr) Act of 1985 and Convention Amended agreement OGSM: FGR-631-2003/333-00 signed on August 17, 2003 and agreement OGSM: FGR-631-2004/167-00, between the Government of the United States of America (USG) and the Government of Cameroon (GoC) represented by Cameroon’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER), CARE International in Cameroon was contracted as the main Recipient Agency (RA) for the Food for Progress 2003 (FFPr03) Program. This was formalised through Agreement No2125/MINAGRI between CARE and MINADER on September 11, 2003 aimed at increasing food production and food security by creating, improving or expanding agri-business and food production activities in order to alleviate poverty, promote agricultural development, enhance food security and create employment in the North and Far North Regions of Cameroon. In order to ensure an efficient program implementation of this 4.62M project, further provisions were made for CARE to sub-contract part of the agricultural production component of the FFPr03 program to the Société Agro-Industrielle de la Bénoue (SAIB) to support the development of commercial agriculture alongside traditional small-plot agriculture with a sprinkler irrigation system and the setting up of a rice husking factory in the Lagdo Valley. Also, the micro-credit component of this program was sub-contracted to Credit du Sahel (CDS) in an agreement done on April 29, 2004 to provide financing for local farmers through micro loans in the North and Far North Regions. In addition, an agreement was done on July 14, 2006 between CARE and Winrock International to implement an agri-business development project in the North and Far North regions in Cameroon. Finally, the improvement of the infrastructures for the Lagdo irrigation system was sub-contracted to “Mission d’étude d’Amènagement et Devéloppement de la Province de Nord”, generally referred to as MEADEN. The last two sub-implementing organizations involved in the implementation of the FFPr03 program were Organisme de Devéloppement, d’étude, de formation et de Conseils (ODECO) for the implementation of the Lake Chad Tree Planting Project in the Lake Chad region in Cameroon and the Limbe Botanic Gardens for the implementation of a floriculture project in Cameroon.

The implementation of this USDA / GoC funded program began in January 2004 and extended beyond the initial completion date with an extension period to allow all the other program components to continue with the program implementation until August, 2010. CARE received the global amount of $2.896.000 and disbursed approved funds to the different sub-implementing organizations and sub-granted to partner organizations for certain technical aspects. Unfortunately, the SAIB component of the program never took off along with the other program components due a land lease issue which has recently been addressed.

The supervisory body of this program was the FFPr03 Review Committee chaired by the Permanent Secretary of MINADER. This was made up of representatives of the Ministries of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER), the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Regional Development (MINEPAT), MEADEN, the main RA CARE and the U.S. Embassy. The sub-implementing organizations were not considered to be part of the Steering Committee.

In order to officially close out this program, an independent external evaluation and audit has to be carried out in the North and Far North Regions as well as in Limbe, South West Region by July 28th 2011.

2. Evaluation objectives

• Assess the individual management of the FFPr03 funds by CARE, Winrock International, MEADEN, SAIB, the Limbe Botanic Garden, ODECO and Credit du Sahel.
i. If the detailed objectives in the agreements were obtained.
ii. If the funds were rightly spent according to the terms of the agreements.
iii. The institutional capacity and sustainability of the program activities.
iv. The amount and location of any unspent funds and procured assets.
v. The strengths and weaknesses of the different program components.
• Assess the poverty reduction mechanisms put in place in order to empower farmers.
• Assess the program’s impact towards increased agricultural productivity through improved methodologies for financing the rural development project that will increase food production and food security, in order to create, improve, or expand agri-business and food production activities, alleviate poverty, promote agricultural development and create employment in the North and Far North regions in Cameroon.
• Identify program achievements worth strengthening.
• Assess if the methodology used was transparent and adapted to the context.

3. Required Background of the Evaluator
