<br><p></p><div><p>1. Background</p>
<p>
Oxfam has been active in Pakistan since 1973, working to empower all people, particularly women and girls, to exercise their rights and access essential services and economic</p>
<p>
opportunities . Oxfam&rsquo;s mission is to create lasting solutions to poverty, inequality, and vulnerability through rights-based sustainable
</p><p>development, humanitarian assistance, and public education. It collaborates with civil society organizations, women&rsquo;s rights groups, research institutions, the private sector, and government authorities at national, provincial, and local levels. Oxfam&rsquo;s Country Strategy (2015&ndash;2023, with ongoing activities) aimed to foster a just society where all individuals live with dignity, enjoy their rights, and participate as active citizens. The</p>
<p>
organization has played a pivotal role in advancing climate change resilience, humanitarian preparedness, and women&rsquo;s protection. Recent Context: By June 2024, Oxfam closed all programmes under the Gender Justice and Governance pillars, as documented in the previous evaluation report. Consequently, this evaluation focuses exclusively on activities under the &ldquo;Saving Lives Now and in the Future&rdquo; programme, aligning with Oxfam&rsquo;s strategic shift and ongoing exit from Pakistan.</p>
<p>
2. Programme Focus</p>
<p>
The evaluation will assess activities under the &ldquo;Saving Lives Now and in the Future&rdquo;</p>
<p>
programme, including:</p>
<ul><li>Emergency response and disaster management</li></ul>
<ul><li>Community-based preparedness, disaster risk reduction, and resilience building</li></ul>
<p>
These activities were implemented in collaboration with government entities (e.g., National</p>
<p>
Disaster Management Authority, Provincial Disaster Management Authorities), local NGOs,</p>
<p>
and provincial disaster management bodies, emphasizing partnership, accountability, and</p>
<p>
community-level impact. Key implementation areas include Sindh and Balochistan.</p><br>
<p></p>
<p>
3. Recent Developments</p>
<p>
Oxfam is phasing out its operations in Pakistan, making this evaluation critical to:</p>
<ul><li>Evaluate the results and impact of the &ldquo;Saving Lives Now and in the Future&rdquo;</li></ul>
<p>
programme</p>
<ul><li>Inform ongoing humanitarian efforts and capture lessons learned</li></ul>
<ul><li>Support the country office in executing its exit strategy in compliance with national</li></ul>
<p>
laws, INGO regulations, and accountability standards</p>
<p>
The evaluation will provide evidence of Oxfam&rsquo;s contributions to provincial and local</p>
<p>
governments, communities, and partners, documenting its legacy in Pakistan.</p>
<p>
4. Purpose of the Assignment</p>
<p>
The evaluation aims to assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability,</p>
<p>
coherence, and impact of humanitarian activities under the &ldquo;Saving Lives Now and in the</p>
<p>
Future&rdquo; programme, alongside the following objectives:</p>
<ul><li>Evaluate the progress and effectiveness of Oxfam&rsquo;s partner-led approach</li></ul>
<ul><li>Assess the role of support functions (Finance, HR, Admin/Security) in enabling</li></ul>
<p>
programme delivery</p>
<ul><li>Measure progress toward objectives outlined in Oxfam&rsquo;s exit strategy</li></ul>
<p>
Key Evaluation Questions:</p>
<ul><li>How relevant were the activities to Pakistan&rsquo;s humanitarian and disaster contexts?</li></ul>
<ul><li>How effective and efficient were the interventions in achieving intended outcomes?</li></ul>
<ul><li>What is the sustainability of impacts, particularly for vulnerable groups (e.g., women,</li></ul>
<p>
girls, and marginalized communities)?</p>
<ul><li>To what extent was Oxfam&rsquo;s partner-led approach aligned with local and national</li></ul>
<p>
expectations, the decolonization approach, and the Grand Bargain agenda?</p>
<ul><li>How coherent were the activities with national policies and partner strategies?</li></ul>
<ul><li>What lessons can be learned to strengthen future humanitarian responses and exit</li></ul>
<p>
processes?</p>
<p>
The evaluation will generate actionable recommendations to enhance future humanitarian</p>
<p>
responses, refine the partner-led approach, and document Oxfam&rsquo;s legacy in Pakistan.</p><br>
<p></p>
<p>
5. Proposed Methodology</p>
<p>
The evaluation will adopt a mixed-methods approach, including:</p>
<ul><li>Desk Review: Analysis of programme reports, partner documents, monitoring data,</li></ul>
<p>
previous evaluations (including the report covering the closure of Gender Justice and</p>
<p>
Governance programmes), and strategic documents.</p>
<ul><li>Qualitative Data Collection: Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with provincial</li></ul>
<p>
government authorities, disaster management bodies, local partners, and community</p>
<p>
representatives, ensuring gender balance and inclusivity.</p>
<ul><li>Quantitative Data Collection: Analysis of monitoring data and optional beneficiary</li></ul>
<p>
surveys to quantify impact metrics.</p>
<ul><li>Field Visits (if feasible): On-site assessments in 2&ndash;3 representative locations in at least</li></ul>
<p>
one of the target provinces (Sindh or Balochistan).</p>
<p>
Findings will be triangulated with input from Oxfam country office staff, including the Country</p>
<p>
Representative, Finance Manager, and Admin/HR/Security Focal Point. All methods must</p>
<p>
adhere to ethical standards, including informed consent, confidentiality, and &ldquo;do no harm&rdquo;</p>
<p>

<ul><li>Comply with Oxfam&rsquo;s safeguarding policies and Pakistan&rsquo;s data protection regulations</li></ul>
<ul><li>Obtain informed consent from all participants</li></ul>
<ul><li>Ensure confidentiality and anonymization of data</li></ul>
<ul><li>Declare any conflicts of interest</li></ul>
<ul><li>Apply sensitivity to gender, disability, and marginalized groups during data collection</li></ul>
