About the Tautua Program

The Tautua prioritises five interconnected pillars of human development: Education, Health, Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Protection. Guided by the Government of Samoa (GoS), Tautua provides opportunity to create transformative change in human development by addressing complex development needs though multi-sectoral, innovative approaches that identify and focus on the underlying issues. Simultaneously, Tautua intends to be able to respond to emergency, short-term needs, build capacity and through research, monitoring and evaluation, apply lessons learned and evidence-based decision making to continuously improve delivery. The goal for Tautua is 'improved health, education, gender equality and social outcomes, and social harmony for all Samoans'.

Tautua has three end-of-investment outcomes (EOIOs): 

EOIO1: Samoans, especially women and girls, youth, persons with disabilities, the vulnerable and those living in hardship, have more equitable access to health, education, disability and social protection services. 

EOIO2: Samoans benefit from the delivery of more inclusive, gender-responsive and higher-quality health, education, community and social development, and social protection services in line with GoS priority areas.

EOIO3: Tautua is an effective partnership between the Governments of Samoa and Australia that supports Samoa’s human development priorities, contributes positively to the bilateral relationship and delivers the specific EOIOs of each of the sub-programs. 

Tautua identified, during the design and consultation phases, four critical social issues as key areas of initial focus for the program:

CSI 01: Reducing the rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) | Health Sector

CSI 02: Reversing stagnated learning outcomes | Education Sector

CSI 03: Reducing the vulnerability of those whose rights to exercise a choice and whose personal safety are threatened | Community and Social Development Sector

CSI 04: Overcoming barriers to inclusive communities | Community and Social Development Sector

Introduction 

These Terms of Reference (TOR) set out the conditions governing the conduct of a technical assistance project (the Project) under the Tautua Program.

Consultants should note that:

1. They will be expected to be fully conversant with the contents of these TOR and the obligations under it.
2. This TOR and all components therein are integral to the contract that is signed between the consultant(s) and Palladium International (on behalf of the Program).
3. The objectives and outputs of this TOR, which have been approved by the relevant decision-making bodies, are normally non-negotiable and cannot be varied without proper discussion between the consultant(s) and the Team Leader and responsible Technical Lead.

Background, Context and Rationale

Tautua supports government and non-government partners to strengthen responses to critical social issues. A key aspect of strengthening capacity and responsiveness involves monitoring, evaluation and learning – for which there is a need to establish and / or improve systems for capturing and analysing MEL information. 

Tautua has supported several studies that have resulted in recommendations for improvements and some of these relate to MEL.
