Short-term Consultant: Final Project Evaluation – Cash assistance in response to the Beirut blast

Please note that this is a short version of the Terms of Reference (ToR) for this assignment. The full version incl. application procedure can be found here.

Following the Beirut port explosion on August 4, 2020, Caritas Lebanon implemented an emergency response project supported by a consortium of six other Caritas Internationalis Member Organizations. The Building Back Beirut (3BC) project consists of three main components: 1) the cash for shelter repairs enabling vulnerable households whose shelters were damaged to carry out essential repairs and who lost significant household assets enabling them to meet basic needs; and 3) psychological first aid and psychosocial support to those affected by the blast. The intervention reached 1’365 households with a one-off payment of Cash for Shelter assistance and 1’130 households with three consecutive Emergency Cash Assistance transfers out of whom 450 households received an additional fourth ECA payment. Furthermore, Psychological First Aid Trainings were delivered to 95 staff at CL and 1’078 individual psychological follow-up sessions were provided to individuals of all ages. 262 children aged 6 to 12 traumatized by the blast benefitted from recreational psychosocial support activities. Finally, a staff-care manual was developed by an external consultant to support Caritas Lebanon in adopting an internal staff care concept.

The objective of the assignment is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the project “Building Back Beirut Consortium (3BC) – Emergency Shelter, Cash Assistance and Psychosocial Support for Beirut” and to generate lessons learnt informing Caritas Switzerland (CACH), Caritas Lebanon and consortium members in the design and implementation of future similar interventions.
