Lutheran World Relief (LWR) was founded in 1945 to respond to the needs of communities devastated by World War II. LWR now works with local implementing partners in Asia, Africa and Latin America to respond to emergencies and seek lasting solutions to rural poverty and health services. LWR works in four core thematic areas of agriculture, climate change, emergency operations and health. Within agriculture it focuses on creating strong local economies and resilient communities.
In 2016, LWR launched a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded activity called 12/12: Alliance for Year-Round Resilience Project in the Tahoua and Maradi regions of Niger. The activity seeks to leverage new private-sector expertise and innovative solutions to improve the resilience of 12,760 households over all 12 months of the year in 10 communes and 115 villages located in agro-pastoral and marginal agriculture livelihood zones of Iléla, Konni and Malbaza departments of the Tahoua region) and Dakoro of the Maradi region–and simultaneously help the 12/12 Alliance’s private sector partners expand their market share, mitigate operating risks and secure more reliable supply chains. More specifically, the activity aims to:
- Leverage private sector investment and innovations to increase and sustain household incomes, assets and adaptive capacity, and
- Strengthen the organizational capacity of farmer associations to sustain member services, manage risks and leverage business opportunities.
A baseline study was conducted in 2016 to understand the local context better, refine performance indicators, and set indicator targets for the activity. Similarly, a mid-term evaluation was conducted in 2019 to assess mid-way performance against the targets and to adjust the programming as needed. The activity is currently running in its final year. Hence LWR plans to conduct an endline study to evaluate the overall performance of the activity and document important success stories and lessons learned. In this regard, LWR invites qualified evaluation firm to conduct the endline performance evaluation of the project.
