Background
With the support of the European Regional Development and Protection Programme for Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq (RDPP II), Oxfam and partners Legal Agenda (LA) and Lebanese Observatory for Workers and Employees’ Rights (LOWER) are implementing a project titled “Promotion of decent work and sustainable business development in Bekaa, Lebanon.” In addition, the project works very closely with My Work, My Rights! Network, an informal group of local Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) that work on advancing decent working conditions in Lebanon.
The project aims to contribute to a decent and economically sustainable business environment for displacement-affected populations in the Bekaa by strengthening the linkage between the local civil society, the business development service (BDS) providers, and the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Bekaa. To achieve this ultimate objective, the project aims to improve the organizational, technical, and evidence-based advocacy capacities of the My Work My Rights! Network of CSOs to mainstream and collectively monitor decent work conditions; develop the capacities and tools of business development services in Bekaa on decent work with the support of the network; and provide MSMEs in the Bekaa, specifically in sectors where Syrian refugees can work, with technical support through business development services and financial support to strengthen their business and improve their working conditions.
The project intervention logic includes three expected outcomes:
Outcome 1: My Work, My Rights! Network and members are empowered to influence practices related to decent work at the local, national and international level.
Outcome 2: Targeted private business development organizations and professionals with strong decent work capacities and services are convened and capacitated on the topic of decent work in the Bekaa.
Outcome 3: Targeted MSMEs in the Bekaa have improved working conditions and accessible decent job opportunities.
The project was impacted by the multifaceted crises in Lebanon, including COVID-19, the Beirut Blast, the political deadlock, and the economic crisis which have resulted in significant changes in the context, the national priorities and the operational environment. This has led to delays and changes in implementation modalities.
Below are objectives and scope of the review, evaluation questions, and possible methodologies, timeline, selection of the consultant, deliverables and indicative planning.
Objectives
The purpose of the mid-term review is to provide key learning on achievements and challenges by illustrating the project’s successes and gaps and giving forward-looking recommendations for each of the three project components for further improvement over the remaining project implementation period that is expected to be completed by December 2021.
In particular, the midterm review is intended to:
Scope

Audience
The audience and users of this midterm review include the Oxfam project team, management, partners, My Work My Rights! Network members and donor.
