SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES NIGERIA
INVITATION FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI) TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPACT EVALUATION FOR SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES NIGERIA

1. BACKGROUND
SOS Children’s Villages Nigeria is one of 136 Member Associations working under the umbrella of SOS Children’s Villages International, an international non-governmental social development organization that works with all our stakeholders to find the most appropriate response to the situation of children at risk of losing parental care and those without parental care. We focus on the child’s development into a self-supporting and contributing member of the society, and the recognition that a child’s development to his or her full potential is best realized in a caring family environment. Since 1973, we have been active in Nigeria, with footprints across the country in Isolo (Lagos State), Owu-ijebu (Ogun State), Jos (Plateau State), Ibadan (Oyo State), Benin (Edo State), Kaduna (Kaduna State), Abuja, (Federal Capital Territory) and Maiduguri (Borno State).

2. PURPOSE OF THE ASSESSMENT
The overall objective of this study is to determine the needs of our target group, the present stakeholders in each of the programme locations and the impact our interventions have made so far.

The study will be carried out in line with the SOS Results Based Management Approach in order to ascertain whether the organisation is the best-placed stakeholder to respond in a certain community, and to provide up-to-date information on context and most crucial needs of the target group. The recommendations provided in the needs assessment report are essential to developing tailored services and interventions, as the basis to developing programme concepts.
