Background:

The AAR is to be an ‘evaluative exercise’ in line with UNICEF’s Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action (CCCs) Benchmark “Evaluative exercises, such as after-action reviews, lessons learned exercises and operational peer reviews, are undertaken early for rapid-onset emergencies, or incorporated into regular strategic planning for protracted responses, to inform corrective action.” 

The overall responsibility for organizing and conducting the review by the consultant will be under the supervision of the WASH Officer and the Field Services Emergency Officer in close collaboration and coordination with a Technical Team (Section emergency Focal Persons, SPEAR, and Field Services). The AAR Leads will guide the consultant and provide quality assurance of the key deliverables. The review will be led by the UNICEF Bangladesh Country Office in close collaboration with the Chittagong Field Office, Cox’s Bazar Field Office, and the SPEAR Section. The consultant will recruit a national consultant to support him/her in this assignment and for especially hard-to-reach areas where an international staff may not have access.
