Monitoring and Evaluation of the LRRD – REPI 2010 programme (following the floods of July 2010 in the Centre Nord and Est regions of Burkina Faso)
November 2011 – November 2012, for the EU delegation in Burkina Faso
Groupe URD is in charge of a technical assistance project to gather lessons learned during aid projects funded as part of the recovery programme following the floods of July 2010 in the Centre Nord and Est regions of Burkina Faso. This work will also be an opportunity to contribute to discussions about policy regarding the response to natural disasters (floods) and managing climatic risks, in connection with strategies related to rural development and food and nutritional security in Burkina Faso.
The LRRD – REPI 2010 programme, funded by the European Union delegation in Burkina Faso, was set up following the emergency response to the flooding of July 2010 funded by DG ECHO in the same year. It aims to support vulnerable communities affected by the floods of 22 July 2010 in the Provinces of Sanmatenga, Namentenga and Gnagna (Centre Nord and Est regions). It is due to last 2 years (April 2011 to March 2013) and is implemented by ACF, Christian Aid, Intermon Oxfam and Development Workshop.
It covers three areas:
1) The restoration of production capacities (principally agro-sylvo-pastoral) 2) The rehabilitation of small and medium-sized infrastructure through labour-intensive public works when possible (productive infrastructure and social community buildings) 3) Taking into account risk prevention during the activities carried out as part of the project, the promotion of these and climate change adaptation measures so that they are integrated into local development policies.
Groupe URD is in charge of evaluating the quality of this programme and will carry out field visits 6, 12 and 18 months after its launch. During the field visits, we will:
- Set up and follow up the implementation of a common monitoring framework for the 4 projects funded by the LRRD-REPI 2010 programme;
- Reinforce the monitoring of each of the projects to help the beneficiaries and the EU delegation in Burkina Faso to steer them effectively and efficiently;
- Monitor the overall quality of the programme;
- Analyse and share lessons learned from this programme in terms of LRRD.
