| Overview of position |
While there has been a decline in violent conflict and related humanitarian needs in Eastern Libya since the signing of the UN-facilitated Ceasefire Agreement in October 2020, political uncertainty, instability, criminality, weak governance structures, lack of social cohesion, limited economic opportunities and localized conflicts have continued to challenge sustained peace. Nationwide youth-led protests in July 2022 against the political and socio-economic situation in the country was a stark indicator of growing social discontent. Against this backdrop, Storm Daniel and related flooding in September 2023 represented a shock to an already fragile and destabilized region still reeling from decades of marginalization and conflict. This disaster resulted in loss of life and physical destruction, as well as massive displacement which compounded vulnerabilities and heightened tension. To mitigate the risk of escalation of conflict in the east, and by adopting an inclusive and resilience-based approach to peacebuilding, this joint programme seeks to advance stabilization and recovery programming in two municipalities which constitute the main population centres in Eastern Libya. The programme also aims to be catalytic for the expansion of UN programming and presence in Eastern Libya thus facilitating the implementation of the government endorsed UNSDCF in this region of the country. Participating agencies held iterative, initial consultations with the Ministry of Local Governance and counterparts in Benghazi and Derna Municipalities on the draft proposal in March and April 2024, followed by bilateral discussions in greater detail with the same counterparts in May 2024. Additionally, in May 2024, participating agencies conducted consultations with NGO partners, including women-led NGOs, in the field through a remote survey due to access constraints. The survey was designed to allow feedback on the main orientation of the proposal, including context analysis with a focus on women and girls. Through the surveys, NGO partners confirmed the priorities of strengthening livelihood diversification and resilience, access to credit and markets, support to unemployed youth, bolstering community participation in local planning and decision-making, and addressing rising tensions and grievances in flood-affected communities. In June 2024, participating agencies, under the aegis of the RCO, held two planning and validation workshops. The first was organized with representatives from the national government in Tripoli, including the Ministry of Local Government, Ministry of Planning, Office of the Prime Minister and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The second took place in Benghazi and welcomed representatives from the municipalities of Derna and Benghazi and civil society. In both workshops, participants discussed in detail the prevailing context, gaps and relevant initiatives, and reviewed the proposed activities in detail. Participating agencies, through the RCO, reflected UNSMIL’s input into this proposal, as well. In April 2024, the UNSMIL’s Political Affairs Service and other Mission substantive sections reviewed the proposal in its entirety, and in particular context analysis, stakeholder mapping, theory of change, and activities. A draft results framework was developed during the project design. However, the finalization of this framework requires additional baseline data, which will be used to refine the project’s indicators, targets and means of verification.

| Role objectives |
Overall Scope: A baseline analysis will generate an understanding of the current state for the purpose of creating a starting point for analysis of Sustaining Peacebuilding and Increasing Community Resilience in the Eastern Libyan Municipalities of Benghazi and Derna (Project) progress. As such, baseline analysis would, where possible, identify current state metrics that future state results can be evaluated against. It will establish the current state outcomes/outputs prior to the Project implementation, which will help in assessing how well the programme contributes to its stated outcomes once in effect. The baseline will reflect, if necessary, broader context, institutional, policy and environment aspects. The baselines will be valid, rigorous, and reproducible and any research methodologies or procedures used to generate specific measures in the baseline analysis will be well described to enable Project monitoring and evaluation. Baselines for the Project’s impact, outcomes and outputs will be developed. Output measures will capture the starting point in Project implementation in terms of specific goods, services, or products. Outcome and Impact measures will focus on long-term strategic objectives and capture the Project starting point in a broader context of the two supported communities, with focus on expected systemic changes in the social and economic conditions that are expected from Project interventions. This baseline assessment will be participatory, with engagement of local stakeholders, to confirm the validity of all indicators and to understand the starting point of key elements of the work (target) against which later progress will be measured. Within this assignment, the National Consultant’s role is limited to field‑level data collection and documentation; analytical interpretation, validation of indicators, and finalization of baselines, targets, and means of verification remain the responsibility of the International Consultant, under the oversight of the participating UN agencies. Data collection activities will ensure systematic disaggregation of data by sex and age across all relevant tools and, where applicable, by vulnerability category, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, migrants, and persons with disabilities. Data collection instruments will also capture information relevant to youth economic inclusion and women’s participation in peacebuilding processes, in line with the approved Results Framework. Data collection, including surveys, focus group discussions, and interviews, will be conducted in a context‑ and conflict‑sensitive manner, taking into account post‑disaster recovery dynamics, flood‑related displacement, and heightened fragility in the target communities. The National Consultant is expected to facilitate data collection activities in ways that do not exacerbate tensions, are sensitive to participants’ experiences, and adhere to do‑no‑harm principles. In consultations with UN agencies involved into the Project, the consultant will undertake the following steps: 1) The local consultant will undertake the data collection under the guidance and with involvement of the international consultant. This would include undertaking surveys and organizing focus groups and interviews in the two communities if online tools such as Surveymonkey and MS Team and Zoom are not feasible to use. Following the field work, the consultancy team (international and national consultants) will prepare and deliver a short presentation to UN partners on the initial findings and draft baselines. Building on the debrief and initial feedback received, the consultancy team will produce a draft baseline data that will be shared with UN agencies for review. The report will include, at a minimum: executive summary, list of acronyms, introduction, baseline context and purpose, baseline framework and methodology, project baseline values and recommended updated indicators, targets and means of verification – that is an updated/finalized Results Framework. Annexes will include the inception report, list of documents reviewed, list of persons interviewed or consulted and data collection instruments. Comments will be addressed and the final results framework will be presented. | Expected Deliverables, Time Frame and Payment Schedule Deliverables | Timeline | Payment Schedule | | | | Deliverable 1: Data collection: For the purposes of this assignment, “data collection” shall comprise the submission of complete and cleaned datasets based on the finalized survey instruments, and documented records of focus group discussions and interviews (including notes or summaries), in formats agreed with the International Consultant and UNDP. | 30 working days within 6 weeks of commencement | 100% |
