INCEPTION REPORT



Executive Summary

Introduction:

In Yemen, since mid-March 2015, the conflict has spread to 20 of the country's 22 governorates, prompting a large-scale protection crisis and aggravating an already dire humanitarian crisis brought on by years of poverty, poor governance and ongoing instability. The number of people in need of some form of humanitarian assistance has increased by 33% from 15.9 million to 21.1 million people. This means that 80% of Yemen's population now requires some assistance to meet their basic needs for food, water, energy, healthcare, shelter and other basic supplies. More than 12 million people have been directly affected by the conflict, including more than 7 million children.
The EU-funded Enhanced Rural Resilience in Yemen Program ERRY is to enhance the self-reliance of rural people and communities to better cope with crises, risks and shocks. The project is being initiated, and will be implemented for a period of three years. The project will be implemented in eight districts within four governorates as follows:
·         Lahj Governorate: Tuban district and Tour Albaha district.
·         Abyan Governorate: Kenfar district and louder district.

Through ERRY a resilience approach is being spearheaded, to enhance collective action, aid delivery and economic recovery. The program is designed to enhance the self-reliance of rural people and communities to better cope with crises, risks and shocks. The solar component of the program will support communities benefit from improved and more sustainable livelihoods opportunities through better access to solar energy;
The solar component aims to build community energy resilience in the target areas. Through its interventions it enhances community-based access and application of sustainable solar energy across rural communities in the project targeted areas. Priority will be given to rural basic services such as health, water supply, education, communal services, market places, solar water pumping,.etc. that contribute and build community energy resilience. It also promotes application and spreading of the use of solar water pumps in the agriculture sector within a comprehensive package including use of efficient water irrigation system. Furthermore, it also promotes micro solar-based business development. Following are the key planned intervention for building rural community solar resilience in the targeted districts:
·         Expansion of solar energy applications to strengthen rural energy resilience, capacity building and recovery;
·         Decentralized solar energy services installed in public service centers to reinforce livelihood resilience of vulnerable rural communities;
·         Solar energy introduced to support enhancement of rural community energy resilience;
·         Marketing of micro-business development for solar energy supported;
The first step in the process of building energy resilience in the targeted districts is to carry out socio-economic and solar needs/gaps assessments. A team of two national consultants will be assigned to carry out these assessments.

Geographical Coverage:

The work under this assignment will be implemented in four districts at two governorates as follow:
·         Lahj Governorate: Tuban district and Tour Albaha district.
·         Abyan Governorate: Kenfar district and louder district.

Targeted categories of social services and productive assets:

·         Health units at district level
·         Schools at districts level,
·         Local offices of Health and education at districts level.
·         Productive based assets e.g. market places and productive based societies at district level.

Objectives:

1.      Undertake institutional arrangement at local level, consult with all stakeholders at governorates, districts and community levels.
2.      Undertake inspecting, testing of solar energy system equipment to ensure compliance of all delivered solar systems equipment and conformity with the pre identified quality standards and technical specifications at central level.
3.      Delivering, installing and operating solar energy systems at local level in the targeted districts to guarantee proper delivery, installation and operation of the solar energy systems.
4.      Supervise the take-over from the supplier to the beneficiaries and ensure installation and operation of delivered solar energy systems are smooth and well performed through conducting field monitoring for all process of handling.

ADWAR  Main Task:

According to the TOR regarding oversight and inspection process to import, install and operate the solar systems, ADWAR  main tasks in the inspection process are:
-       Consult with the different stakeholders at the governorate, district and community levels in close coordination and cooperation with the project team.
-       Develop the institutional arrangement and technical installations monitoring mechanisms and appropriate documentation in close coordination with the project team including donor requirements.
-       Verification of institutional arrangement with the beneficiaries/recipient of the solar systems to ensure proper use, management and avoid any misuse risks.
-       Undertake rapid capacity assessment of the beneficiaries and highlight mitigation measures to address shortcoming, and control misuse and or other risks, and ensure sustainable use of the delivered solar systems.
-       Verify, collect and document data and information on the operation/service of the beneficiaries/receiving institutions including the names of the communities and population benefiting from the services as well as producing raw communication materials.
-       Inform in writing the beneficiaries on their obligations and measures for proper use, maintenance and management of the delivered solar systems.
-       Test all required equipment before delivery using reliable testing instruments and check their manufacturing date, their existing situation, storing conditions, handling methods and transportation safety, and verify their compliance with the specified quality standards, technical specifications and safety norms.
-       Testify all solar energy systems before, during and after installation in sites of communal services and verify where applied solar systems for different uses installed properly in the targeted areas and ensure their reliability, durability and sustainability.
-       Ensure fulfillment of all compliance requirements, quality standard, technical specification, and safety norms for all components to be installed in an integrated and compatible manner.
-       Set up a code of practice for sites assessment, preparation of the systems, installation, assembly, commissioning of equipment and special requirements for equipment, hand over mechanism to beneficiaries and maintenance guidelines.
-       Prepare operational manual and a practical field guide listing the essential issues that require attention during installation, follow-up and maintenance. The compiled manual should address all activities of installation and operation as well as regular maintenance procedures guideline. This manual will be regarded as a practical field guide and a hand-on and accessible manual. The beneficiaries of this guideline are the rural community beneficiaries.
-       Supervise the take-over from the supplier to the beneficiaries and assure installation and operation of all solar energy systems is smooth and well performed.
-       Document all process, lessons learnt and mitigation measures.
-       Organize with the project team delivery events and communication.
-       Conclude the delivery and receipt agreements signed by the beneficiaries/receiving institutions and respective local authorities at the different administrative levels along with attached documentation agreed stipulated in the institutional arrangement and technical installation monitoring mechanisms.
-       Document all the project stages and survey the community impression of beneficiaries.
