Central Bureau of Statistics
Term of Reference Individual Consultant, Multi-Topics HHs Design Training Sudan Statistical Capacity Building Project (P167988): Improving Household Surveys and Administrative Data in Sudan • Background The Republic of the Sudan has received financial support from the World Bank to the implementation of a Statistical Capacity Building Project in Sudan. The objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the Central Bureau of Statistics to improve the quality of household poverty survey data, and to improve the availability and quality of existing administrative data in the education and health sectors. The main expected outcome of this project is to build the capacity of the CBS to design and implement household surveys that are consistent with international best practices, as well as to be able to analyze the data and disseminate them in line with open data policies. The project is also expected to help improve availability of administrative data in education and health sectors in Sudan. Context and Rationale The Household Budget Survey is the official source of poverty and other social indicators in Sudan. The CBS conducted the National Baseline Household Survey in 2009 and the National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBPS) in 2014/15. The results of the 2009 survey led to the first ever reliable poverty estimates in Sudan in 2010/11. However, significant shortcomings have been identified in the 2014/15 survey that make it non-comparable with the 2009 survey. These include the following: • Seasonality. The 2009 survey was conducted in a different month than all the rounds of the new survey. This can introduce a seasonal bias when comparing the 2009 estimates with new estimates. • Food recall. the 2014/15 survey has a food recall period of 10 days instead of 7 days. This implies that different weekdays are covered by the recall depending on the weekday of the interview. In Sudan, as with other typical Muslim countries, consumption is usually higher on Fridays. Thus, households interviewed between Wednesday and Friday are likely to have higher consumption than other households. • Consumption aggregate. The 2014/15 survey includes 49 additional food items and 71 additional non-food items compared to the 2009 survey. Even though the previous survey included ‘other’ items to capture consumption of any items not included, it can be assumed that those additional items were underreported. CBS has requested the world bank to support Sudan with designing and implementation a new household survey that is consist with international best practices that will be a benchmark survey going forward following international recommendation. This will involve training on entire process of conducting a survey from preparation through implementation to dissemination (consistent with international best practice). • Scope of Work: The consultant is expected to conduct the following tasks: • Train CBS staff on Multi-topic household survey design. The training program is expected to include the following topics: • Overview of survey cycle • Survey planning • Survey budgeting • Fieldwork Data collection: new techniques (Tablets), different ways to implement surveys • Data processing, analysis, cleaning and compiling data using (STATA&SPSS) • Data dissemination and reporting • Documentation/Archiving • Prepare draft three questionnaires with the CBS team for the National Household Budget and Poverty survey: (i) Household questionnaire, (ii) Community questionnaire, (iii) Market price survey questionnaire. • Deliverables: The list below is the expected outcome to be delivered during undertaking the assignment: • Draft of the questionnaires (Household, Community, Markey survey) • Training evaluation report • Duration and reporting requirements: This consultancy is expected to cover the period of Six weeks to complete the assignment (From 15Nov.2019 to 31 Dec. 2019. The consultant will be based in Khartoum, Sudan during the period of assignment. • Input provided by CBS Training room and refreshments. • Required Qualifications: The consultant should meet the following criteria: • Hold at least an advanced degree in the field of Economics, Statistics or related field ; • Have at least 10 years’ experience in poverty analytical work using STATA & SPSS, this includes household survey design and poverty measurement in accordance with international best practices; • Sound experience with training and teaching of staff of NSO on household surveys • Relevant experience in drafting technical documents and strong analytical skills; • Familiarity with poverty measurement would be advantageous; • A track record of relevant publications is essential; • Prior experience working with a national statistical office is advantageous; • Fluency in spoken and written English is a must.

Term of Reference Individual Consultant to Prepare Poverty Measurement Methodology Note Sudan Statistical Capacity Building Project (P167988): Improving Household Surveys and Administrative Data in Sudan I. Background The Republic of the Sudan has received financial support from the World Bank to the implementation of a Statistical Capacity Building Project in Sudan.

The project is also expected to help improve availability of administrative data in education and health sectors in Sudan. II. Context and Rationale The Household Budget Survey is the official source of poverty and other social indicators in Sudan. The CBS conducted the National Baseline Household Survey in 2009 and the National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBPS) in 2014/15. The results of the 2009 survey led to the first ever reliable poverty estimates in Sudan in 2010/11. The World Bank Poverty Profiles produced from the survey formed an integral part of Sudan’s work on an Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy, formally launched on November 22, 2012. Before these, there was a Household Budget Survey (HBS) carried out in 1978. However, significant shortcomings have been identified in the 2014/15 survey that make it non-comparable with the 2009 survey. These include the following: (a) Seasonality. The 2009 survey was conducted in a different month than all the rounds of the new survey. This can introduce a seasonal bias when comparing the 2009 estimates with new estimates. (b) Food recall. the 2014/15 survey has a food recall period of 10 days instead of 7 days. This implies that different weekdays are covered by the recall depending on the weekday of the interview. In Sudan, as with other typical Muslim countries, consumption is usually higher on Fridays. Thus, households interviewed between Wednesday and Friday are likely to have higher consumption than other households. (c) Consumption aggregate. The 2014/15 survey includes 49 additional food items and 71 additional non-food items compared to the 2009 survey. Even though the previous survey included ‘other’ items to capture consumption of any items not included, it can be assumed that those additional items were underreported. The CBS, through the Statistical Capacity Building Project, is looking to hire a consultant to prepare a Poverty Measurement Methodology Note. This will include the methodology for collecting poverty (consumption) data and measuring poverty in Sudan. The methodology will be discussed and agreed with relevant stakeholders (government, development partners, researchers) and documented and will be used for the next household survey, serving as a benchmark going forward, following recommended international best practices. The Consultant will work very closely with the World Bank on this assignment. III. Scope of Work: The consultant is expected to conduct the following tasks: a. Carry out extensive desk review of status of poverty statistics in Sudan, with a focus on methodologies and standards being used. This includes all aspects related to poverty measurement: food basket, adjusting for spatial and price variation, poverty lines (food poverty, extreme poverty, absolute/global poverty), capturing potential seasonality effect, and so on. b. Review and follow international best standards and practices recommended by the World Bank for compilation, analysis and dissemination of poverty statistics. c. Based on (a) and (b), prepare a Poverty Measurement Methodology Note, outlining the method for collecting poverty (consumption) data and measuring poverty in Sudan. As much as feasible, the document should use empirical evidence to explain the pros and cons of various options, justifying why a specific method is preferred. d. Develop a roadmap to enable comparable poverty measurement, for the next household survey, and going forward. e. Assess the previous survey questionnaires and propose what modules should be included in the questionnaire to collect complete information for the proposed poverty methodology. Special focus should be given to the consumption expenditure module (both food and non-food consumption expenditure). f. While the next survey will be based on the proposed methodology, it would important to find a way to track changes in poverty between the previous survey (either 2014/15 or 2009, whichever makes more sense) and the next survey. After already proposing the new poverty measurement methodology, the consultant will also propose technically sound options that would allow to achieve this comparison. g. Present drafts of the Poverty Measurement Methodology Note to CBS and the World Bank, and the final draft to all relevant stakeholders (government, development partners, researchers) for validation. h. After validation, conduct a workshop to present the final Poverty Measurement Methodology Note. IV. Deliverables: The list below is the expected outcome to be delivered during undertaking the assignment: a. Develop and submit to CBS a Poverty Measurement Methodology Note, as detailed in the scope of work. b. Convene a workshop to present the validated Poverty Measurement Methodology Note to relevant stakeholders. c. Submit a written proposal for comparing poverty between 2014/15 or 2009 and the next survey that will be based on the newly validated poverty measurement methodology. V. Duration and reporting requirements: This consultancy is expected to cover the period from April 16, 2019 to June 30, 2019, requiring up to 45 days to complete the assignment. The consultant will be based in Khartoum, Sudan during the period of assignment, especially to facilitate engagement with CBS and the World Bank teams. However, subject to agreement with CBS, s/he may fulfil part of the assignment at their base location. While the consultant will report to CBS, s/he is required to work very closely with the World Bank project team. VI. Input provided by CBS Apart from providing office space, CBS will provide the Consultant with administrative support including communication facilities, and assistance in making appointments arrangements, organising meetings, avail documents, and other provisions necessary to facilitate her/his work. VII. Required Qualifications: The consultant should meet the following criteria: 1. Hold at least an advanced degree (PhD preferred) in the field of Economics, Statistics or related field; 2.

Alongside providing some technical assistance to the initial six communities targeted during its phase one , SLDPII targets an additional ten selected IDP and host communities in Kassala in order to strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders including state authorities, displaced persons, and vulnerable host communities, to plan and implement improved livelihood and natural resource management practices. SCOPE OF WORK: The project seeks to recruit a consulting firm to work closely with PCU/SPU, state authorities, civil society, and target communities to carry out key project activities in as much as it related to natural resource management practices. This NRM consulting firm will establish close working relationships with the NGO implementing partner recruited for the project and consultant for baseline studies to coordinate its activities. The NRM consulting firm’s core function is to sensitize communities and raise awareness of the importance of environmental conservation and linkages between natural resource management and development processes; train communities on how to integrate environmental concerns through a community-driven planning process; and support communities in developing and executing individual and sub-projects centered on natural resource management. Its deliverables are most closely aligned to Component III: Community Small Works Support. Under this sub-component, communities will be organized and mobilized to plan and implement a portfolio of small-scale work in their communities that are focused on integrated natural resource management practice yielding climate change co-benefits. Proposed and executed small works sub-projects are in line with broader project objectives of enabling transitions from aid dependence to self-reliance and speak to the need for community participation in development processes. To ensure that the project respond to specific needs of target communities, the small works program has a degree of flexibility in the project design. The range of small works proposals that can be implemented may take many forms and include: • Improved Agricultural Management: Examples include activities to increase resilience of degraded areas for crop production; expand soil conservation practices [minimum tillage, rotating crops]; introduce crop mixes more suited to climate change; improve crop storage; proliferate improved seed varieties and seed banks; safeguard biodiversity; switch to lesser water intensive and nitrogen efficient crops; introduce measures to increase agricultural productivity; establish demonstration farms to showcase and receive training on improved seeds and practices. • Improved Animal Production: This would consist of measures taken to improve animal waste management [manure and methane biogas]; improve range management to increase carbon sequestration; establish nurseries for improved pastures; demarcate livestock routes; reduce losses, improve productivity, and feed-to-food conversion efficiency through improved animal health, genetics and feed practices. • Irrigation and Drainage: Small works may introduce or expand water pumping for irrigation using renewable energy sources; replace existing diesel pumps with more energy efficient or electric pumps; plant hedges and cover crops to reduce moisture loss; reduce water use in land preparation; introduce technologies that improve water use efficiency; enhance water harvesting systems [farm ponds, storage tanks, check dams, etc.]; revise water management plans and pricing for increased efficiency. • Forestry: Task activities seek to promote agroforestry, farm forestry, and community afforestation activities to increase resilience of farm systems; rehabilitate forest lands by grazing, revegetation, improvement of poor and degraded soils; and clearing and opening fire lines . • Other Civil Works Upgrades: This entails environmentally-friendly upgrades to off-farm and rangeland structures, for example using renewable energy to provide power to schools. • Income Diversification: This indicates large income-generating activities that provide an alternate source of income and can measurably reduce burden on natural resources. However, its role extends to other components of SLDPII as much as they are tied to natural resources management. The NRM consulting firm is expected to undertake a range of activities across: sensitization and mobilization of target communities, community governance and capacity-building, Community Environmental Action Planning [CEAP], community small works, community contribution mechanisms, monitoring and evaluation, support to activities of NGO Implementing Partner on design and implementation of livelihoods support trainings and other opportunities focused on natural resource management during the duration of the consultancy, and technical assistance and operational support on other relevant activities as determined by SPU and/or raised by target communities. • TIME FRAME AND ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTS: The NRM consulting firm will be hired for a period of 16 months .

Sustainable Livelihoods for Displaced and Vulnerable Communities in Eastern Sudan
Republic Of Sudan Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MoFEP) Sustainable Livelihoods for Displaced and Vulnerable Communities in Eastern Sudan Project Grant#: TF0A3002 - Project ID# P158066 REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES – FIRMS SELECTION) Assignment Title: Recruitment of Implementing NGO Reference No. SD-SLDP-6031-CS-CQS The Government of Sudan has received funding from the World Bank-managed State and Peacebuilding Fund (SPF)to implement project titled Sustainable Livelihoods for Displaced and Vulnerable Communities in Eastern Sudan Project (SLDP2).Phase 2 of SLDP became effective in December 2016 and seeks to expand its target coverage to include another 10 IDP and host communities in Kassala, while maintaining technical assistance provision to the 6 communities from the pilot phase. The development objective of the phase 2 is “to strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders, including state authorities, displaced persons and vulnerable host communities, to plan and implement improved livelihood and natural resource management practices. ”The Project seeks to address durable solutions to displacement whilst using innovative implementation models for livelihoods support and capacity building. Rather than introducing livelihood support as a self-contained intervention, the project seeks to offer livelihoods packages as an economic incentive to engage IDPs and host communities in planning and undertaking larger tasks to support natural resource management practices with climate change mitigation and/or adaptation co-benefits. The Project aims to organize communities and mobilize beneficiaries to plan and implement a portfolio of small works directed towards mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change and environmental degradation in their communities.The small works plans will be identified and implemented through a participatory process, in conjunction with and under the guidance of project staff, experts, and local government. Beneficiaries will thereafter qualify to receive livelihood sub-grants from the project as a proxy form of dividend for their service to the community. The livelihood grant will follow the model established in the initial phase, including a revolving mechanism, called the Benefit Trans-Passing System (BTPS), whereby the sub-grants are repaid and availed to other community members. This approach will be achieved through careful sensitization of communities and meticulous sequencing of project activities. At the activity-level, the livelihood grants delivered by the project to target households will give attention to the full chain of service provision and value generation. For example, a grant for animal husbandry will make provisions for associated activities such as veterinary services, sufficient fodder generation, and vocational training. In addition, livelihood interventions will, as far as possible, be technically backstopped by guidance from experts and in-depth knowledge products developed in phase 1 and 2 of the project. Project Components: Component 1: Development of Local Structures and Capacities (Including Project Management Component 2: Analytics and Technical Assistance Component 3: Community Small Works Component 4: Economic Livelihoods and Benefit Trans-passing SCOPE of Work: The project seeks to recruit an NGO Implementing Partner (IP)to work closely with the project PCU, SPU, state authorities, civil society, and target communities to carry out key project activities. In conjunction with and under the general guidance of the project team, the IP will be the maininter locutors with the project’s target communities. As such, the IP must have established operations on the ground in Kassala and a continuous field presence. The IP’s core function will be to support community organization, mobilization, and planning, however their role will factor into several other areas of the project. The IP will aim to engage communities at a deep level to focus on long-term development planning, social development, natural resource management, entrepreneurship, small business management, alternative technologies, and soft skills. The IP will additionally balance the introduction of new approaches with traditional knowledge and practice, gently challenging counterproductive customs and encouraging ownership and self-reliance. Through this deep level of engagement, the IP will work to create an enabling environment for communities to make informed and sustainable development choices. Profile of the IP: The IP must be highly qualified and able to easily absorb the project’s objectives and deliver complex tasks on schedule. The assignment is open to bidding from national NGOs service providers.
