<p><br></p> <p> <strong>Project Context and Scope</strong> </p> <p>The Peace, Recovery and Solutions Unit of IOM Iraq is undertaking a strategic effort to strengthen coherence, integration, and evidence-based programming across its Durable Solutions (DS) and Rehabilitation, Reconciliation, &amp; Reintegration (RRR) portfolios. As part of this effort, a new integrated programmatic structure is being developed by bringing together functions and expertise from both portfolios to strengthen IOM's capacity to address sustainable solutions to the drivers of displacement. This evolution reflects a broader transition towards integrated, area-based approaches that place populations and their pathways towards sustainable solutions at the centre of programming.<br>The development of the new unit provides an opportunity to establish greater coherence across programme design, targeting, planning, monitoring, information management, and learning. Historically, these functions have evolved across different projects and programmatic pillars, resulting in variations in theories of change, indicator frameworks, beneficiary targeting methodologies, and monitoring systems. These differences limit the Mission's ability to aggregate results, systematically measure outcomes, generate comparable evidence, and establish effective feedback loops between programme implementation, monitoring, referrals, and strategic decision-making. They also constrain the Mission's ability to demonstrate its contribution to IOM's Strategic Results Framework (SRF), strengthen programme quality, and enhance coordination across programme functions and with partners.<br><br></p> <p> <strong>The three initiatives are:</strong> </p> <p> <br> Initiative 1: Harmonization of the RRR programming and the Durable Solutions Theory of Change and development of a mission-wide, SRF-aligned indicator framework;<br> Initiative 2: Development of a unified monitoring framework and standardized Information Management (IM) inputs to establish a continuous programme feedback loop. <br> Initiative 3: Integration of targeting criteria and territory selection methodologies through a common territorial planning approach; </p> <p> <br>These initiatives seek to create a common architecture that enables consistent targeting, standardized monitoring, integrated reporting, and stronger evidence generation across interventions, while supporting coordination within the PRSD Unit, across the broader IOM Iraq mission, and, where appropriate, with partners.</p> <p> <br>A key element underpinning this work is the identification of an appropriate standard "Common operational Unit" that can serve as the foundation for programme planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting across interventions operating at several levels (individual, household, community, sub-district, district, and governorate). Current approaches vary significantly across programmatic pillars, resulting in fragmented targeting methodologies, inconsistent monitoring systems, and limited comparability of results.</p> <p> <br>The core element of this work is to develop a territorial planning model that begins with strategic prioritization at governorate and sub-district levels while allowing programme-specific targeting approaches to communities, households, or individuals as required by different intervention modalities. This approach aims to reduce selection bias, improve transparency in geographic prioritization, strengthen coordination between programme teams, and provide a common analytical framework capable of accommodating diverse implementation models.</p> <p> <br>In parallel, the mission is advancing two of the three initiatives: the harmonization of its Theory of Change and indicator framework and the Development of a unified monitoring framework and standardized Information Management (IM) inputs to establish a continuous programme feedback loop. A revised Theory of Change has been developed through an internal consultative process and is undergoing technical validation. Building on this work, PRSD is developing a harmonized indicator bank that maps project-level indicators across programmatic pillars to standardized mission-level and SRF indicators. This work will enable consistent reporting, improve comparability across projects, and provide the basis for automated aggregation of programme results.</p> <p> <br></p><p> <strong>Specifically, the consultant will undertake the following tasks:</strong> </p> <p> <br>Integration of Targeting Criteria and Territorial Planning Methodology <br> <strong>1.
