1. ReDSS support to EU-REINTEG Programming (EIDACS, JSC and SDSC consortia)

2. ReDSS is supporting the JSC, EIDACS and SDSC consortia to…
…develop a collective outcomes monitoring framework
…incorporate real-time learning and adaptive management into programming

3. COLLECTIVE OUTCOMES: WHY?
Shortcomings in the response to forced displacement…
…the need for a more development-focused approach
…the lack of quality, systematized data on DACs
…the lack of unifying solutions strategies
The need for key stakeholder to develop and work towards collective, solutions-focused outcomes

4. Monitoring collective outcomes: Making data more useful
Why monitor outcomes?
Advocacy
Design/adjust programming
Differentiating situation of different groups and different locations
Accountability
Coordination
How can we make the data more useful?
Clearly defined
Comparable
Aligned
Disaggregated
Coordinated approach

5. Collective outcomes and indicators used by the JSC, EIDACS and SDSC consortia
All 3 consortia use the same 4 outcome areas:
Governance and Community Mobilisation
Basic Services
Livelihoods
Research and Learning
10 “IASC/ReDSS indicators” are used at outcome-level in project logframes
Focus of these indicators includes local governance, protection, participation in public affairs, HLP, access to health and education, livelihoods and employment.

6. Towards an outcome monitoring framework for RE-INTEG partners
Challenges in using the ReDSS/IASC indicators….
Lack of common definitions
Some indicators are overcomplicated or vague.
Lack of standardized approaches for measuring and disaggregating indicators
Content of an outcome monitoring framework…
Clear definitions of indicators
Agreement on disaggregation
Agreement on frequency of data collection
Tools/survey questions for measuring the indicators

7. REAL-time learning and Adaptive management: WHY?
The contexts we work in are changeable and unpredictable…we must adapt in response.
Adaptive management involves testing, monitoring, getting feedback and – crucially – making adaptations if necessary.
An adaptive programme learns, has opportunities to use that learning to adjust and actually adjusts.

8. Real-time learning and adaptive management in solutions-focused programming
CONTEXT ANALYSIS: What barriers and opportunities for advancing solutions exist?
Legal and policy frameworks
Actors and architecture
Vulnerabilities, needs and capacities
Conflict/disaster dynamics
Other contextual factors….
ANALYSIS OF INTERVENTIONS: Do our interventions contribute to solutions?
What works and what does not?
What could be improved?
How did our interventions contribute towards durable solutions?
What changes should be made to our interventions?
APPLYING AND DISEMMINATING LEARNING: How can our learning benefit ourselves and others?
EU-REINTEG level: It can enable adaptive management and continuous improvement among implementing agencies.
Somalia-level: It can help to inform the response to displacement more broadly in Somalia through ensuring the practical application of durable solutions principles.
Regional/global level: It can contribute to a global body of knowledge on how best to program in displacement-affected communities.

9. Capturing and applying lessons learned: some possible approaches
Putting DACs at the centre of the process
Leveraging the knowledge of frontline staff
Ongoing context analysis
Capturing and applying lessons learned:
some possible approaches
Piloting multiple ideas/approaches
Documenting “lessons learned” case studies
Collective outcomes monitoring
Making time for reflection

10. EIDACS, JSC and SDSC: Learning on what?
Learning should be solutions-focused, and specific to core elements of solutions programming identified by ReDSS member agencies.
Community engagement
Area-based approaches
Govt./ duty bearer engagement

11. EIDACS, JSC and SDSC: Commitments for good practice and learning
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
GOVT. /DUTY BEARER ENGAGEMENT
AREA-BASED APPROACHES
Support existing DAC structures
Support DACs to develop their own vision/priorities
Establish 2-way processes for sharing feedback and other information
Engage DACs in reflection and adaptation of projects.
Support coordination within government
Engage all levels of government
Work within existing structures
Collectively engage government structures
Enhance capacity based on jointly identified needs
Adopt an integrated, multi-sectoral approach
Avoid duplication
Leverage the expertize of other actors
Align with local planning pertaining to displacement/development/ solutions
Cross-cutting issues: 1) Understand the context, and using it to inform implementation. 2) Create/support space for dialogue and joint planning 3) Support local actors to take ownership of solutions processes
