About Welthungerhilfe: Deutsche Welthungerhilfe e.V. is one of the largest non-governmental organizations in Germany operating in the humanitarian assistance and development fields. It was established in 1962, as the German section of the “Freedom from Hunger Campaign”, one of the world’s first initiatives aimed at the eradication of hunger. Welthungerhilfe’s work is still dedicated to the following vision: All people have a right to a self-determined life in dignity and justice, free from hunger and poverty. By 2021, Welthungerhilfe and its partner organizations ran 404 international projects in 37 countries with an overall financing volume of EUR 184 million, comprised of private donations, and public national and international funds. In addition, Welthungerhilfe operates a marketing and fundraising department in Germany to engage and educate a wider public on development-related topics and to mobilize funds from currently more than 57,000 permanent private donors. Welthungerhilfe (WHH) Bangladesh program portfolio: WHH started operation in Bangladesh in 1975 and till now going on with both parts as humanitarian response and development. In Cox’s Bazar, WHH started emergency interventions with GFFO and its own funds to support the Rohingya Refugees (RR) and Host Communities (HC) since the beginning of the influx (2017) through different local partners. From 2018-2019 WHH has been implementing an integrated project in consortium with both international and local partners on WASH, Nutrition and Protection funded by GFFO, where WHH was leading the entire program and directly implementing a WASH Component. From 2019 to 2021, WHH has been recognized by UNHCR as one of the leading and strong providers of WASH services in camps 24 and 27. Currently, WHH is working in BGD through the local partner ANANDO with a project-specific partnership/hosting agreement. WHH has an emergency office in Cox’s Bazar and a field office in Teknaf with a small team of staff working on the Cox’s Bazar office. WHH is actively involved in the coordination of activities on the Cox’s Bazar level, primarily through the humanitarian coordination system, which is mainly organized through NGO Forum, DSK TDH, Save the Children, Nabolok, Action Aid and UN organizations. Regular exchange with the regional and national authorities has enabled the organization to implement projects. At the technical implementation level, there is close cooperation with coordinating bodies (e.g. UN Cluster System) and local and international NGOs, particularly in the WASH sector. This document provides Terms of Reference for endline evaluation of the “BGD 1045: Preparedness and Response Support in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene to Rohingya Refugees and Host Community in Cox’s Bazar and Bashan Char” project, which is being implemented by ANANDO and Uttaran.
