2. Introduction to LWD:
Life With Dignity evolved from the work of the Lutheran World Service Cambodia from 1979 to 1992, a field
program of Lutheran World Federation, which focused on emergency relief, demining and resettlement. In
1993, the program was renamed as Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Cambodia Program and shifted focus
to supporting rural development. The LWF Cambodia Program was localised and registered with the
Ministry of Interior (MoI) on 09 September 2010 as Life With Dignity, a national NGO, with Cambodians
taking on all management and leadership roles. In compliance with the 2015 Law on Associations and Non-
Governmental Organisations (LANGO), LWD re-registered with the MoI on 19 March 2018.
Since 2011, LWD has successfully completed the Integrated Rural Development through Empowerment
Program (2011-2014); the Empowerment through Self Reliance Program (ESRP) (2015-2017) with four main
components (1) Good Governance and Social Accountability (2) Livelihood Development (3) Disaster Risk
Reduction and Climate Change and (4) Organisational Development and the Livelihood Enhancement
Actions Program Document (LEAP) (2018-2020) to meet the growing needs of the poor and vulnerable
communities in Cambodia amidst a complex political context.
With a proven track record of successful rural development work, LWD has years of in-depth experience in
humanitarian and development work targeting the most vulnerable groups in rural areas where both
infrastructure and public services are poor. LWD is acknowledged for its work at enhancing local
governance, promoting community sustainable livelihoods and building community resilience for disaster
preparedness and climate change adaptation.
Over the years, LWD has built a strong reputation for its rights-based empowerment approach and integrated
rural development, with an emphasis on participation of all stakeholders, especially poor rural communities.
LWD has worked with the most vulnerable households, individuals and communities to claim their rights
and to raise their demands to government authorities and institutions to respond to their priorities and needs.
LWD has also worked with government institutions and officials to strengthen their capacity to better
perform their roles and responsibilities as duty bearers to fulfil their obligations and respond to citizens’
demands.
Organisationally, LWD has continued to demonstrate good governance and professionalism at the highest
standards. LWD was awarded the NGO Governance and Professional Practice Certificate in 2017 for the
second time since 2012, a testimony to strong governance, accountability and transparency, financial
management, relationships and communications, quality assurance and human resource management
standards.
LWD’s Board of Directors is actively involved in providing strategic oversight, professional guidance and
quality advice and meets on a regular basis in support of management. In 2012 and 2015, LWD underwent
organisational restructures resulting in a leaner and more efficient senior management team, qualified
technical specialists and committed capable staff in the field.
LWD continues to place strong emphasis on collaboration and networking with different stakeholders at all
levels, including at the local, sub-national, national, regional and international levels. LWD has strong
cooperative relationships with local communities, local authorities, government departments and ministries
as well as local NGOs, International NGOs, UN Agencies and other development agencies. In Cambodia,
LWD is actively involved in several networks and forums, including The NGO Forum on Cambodia, The
Cooperation Committee for Cambodia, NGO Education Partnership (NEP) of Cambodia, Cambodian
Humanitarian Forum (CHF), Joint Action Group on Disaster Risk Reduction (JAG), and Cambodia
Development of Human Resources in Rural Areas (CamboDHRRA). Senior LWD staff and program
specialists participate in several Technical Working Group meetings and other networks at the provincial and
national levels on Agriculture, Education, Child Protection, Health, WASH, DRR/CCA, and Migration and
Human Trafficking.
At the regional and international level, LWD is an active member of the Action for Churches Together (ACT
Alliance) which aims to create positive and sustainable change in the lives of poor and marginalised people,
and the Asian Zone Environment and Emergency Cooperation Network (AZEECON), an informal regional
network dedicated to capacity building and quality improvement of members and partners and the
interchange of knowledge and ideas to improve programming interventions in relief, rehabilitation and
development by members.
3. Program Feature of LWD
3.1 Geographical Focus Area
LWD Program Document 2021-2026 will serve poor and vulnerable communities in 323 villages across the
six provinces of Battambang, Pursat, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Speu, Svay Rieng, and Prey Veng,
reaching over 239,100 beneficiaries, including poor farmers, landless and land poor families, female headed
households, illiterate adults and youth (women), persons with disabilities, disadvantaged children and youth
as well as migrants.
LWD works with these primary target groups at the individual, household and community level with links
to village, commune and district levels. The key mechanisms include supporting and working with Partner
Household Groups, Agriculture Cooperatives, Producer Groups, Small Business Groups, Youth Groups and
School Children’s Councils.
3.2 Program Strategic Objective:
LWD Program Document 2021-2026 will focus on six objectives/outcomes as the following:
• Objective/ Outcome 1: Small holder and interested farmers have increased income through
diversified on-farm4 and off-farm5 livelihood activities
• Objective/ Outcome 2: Community people are empowered to cope with the adverse impact
of disasters and climate change adaptation for long term sustainability
• Objective/ Outcome 3: WASH, Nutrition and Health of poor community members and
target households, especially women and children, improved
• Objective/ Outcome 4: Quality6 of education at pre-schools and primary schools in target
areas improved in line with the Child Friendly School Policy
• Objective/ Outcome 5: Accountability of duty bearers in delivering local social public
services for right holders strengthened
• Objective/ Outcome 6: LWD’s governance, management and operational systems reflect
best practices in organizational development to support program delivery
4 On-farm includes horticulture, livestock, aquaculture and rice production 5 Off-farm include Small scale business and enterprises (i.e. selling cakes, groceries, handicrafts, tailoring, hair
dresser, beauty salon, trading, other small vocational skills….) 6 Assess the (i) Net Admission Rate, Net Enrolment, dropped-rate, repetition rate, completion rate
4. The Purpose of the Baseline
The aim of this baseline survey is to generate baseline data for the Holistic Rural Development (HRDP-I)
Program Document 2021-2026 to be used for tracking and measurement of the program intervention progress
and achievement.
The information will support program planning and support implementation team to better understand and
monitor the progress and results of the program interventions. It will provide a baseline to measure the
program results, impact and long-lasting change in the lives of the beneficiaries at the end of the program.
The specific purposes of the baseline survey:
• To assess and identify small holder and interested farmers have increased income through
diversified on-farm and off-farm livelihood activities in both level of outcome and output
indicators
• To assess and identify the current community people are empowered to cope with the
adverse impact of disasters and climate change for long term sustainability in both level of
outcome and output indicators
• To assess and identify the current WASH, Nutrition and Health of poor community members
and target households, especially women and children, improved issues in both level of
outcomes and outputs indicators
• To assess and identify the current quality of education at pre-schools and primary schools in
target areas improved in line with the Child Friendly School Policy in both level of outcomes
and outputs indicators
• To assess and identify the current accountability of duty bearers in delivering local social
public services for right holders strengthened in both level of outcomes and outputs
indicators
• To assess and identify the current LWD’s governance, management and operational systems
reflect best practices in organizational development to support program delivery in both
level of outcomes and outputs indicators
A baseline assessment will be completed at the start of the program, with local stakeholders, to measure the
status of all indicators and to understand the starting point of key elements of the work against which later
progress will be measured. This will enable program indicators at outputs, outcomes/objectives and goal
levels to be measured and tracked.
The baseline study will focus on the collection of data/information for a set of performance indicators outlined
in the program tentative results framework matrix (see Appendix I Key number with disability). The baseline
survey will form the basis for the final evaluation other than setting the baseline and helps to set targets for
program indicators. Consequently, it’s vital to consider the impact that are going to create through the
program also to be considered in this baseline survey.
5. Methodology and Sampling
To meet the objectives of the proposed baseline survey and to respond to all research questions, the study
requires both qualitative and quantitative methods, primary and secondary information and data analysis
which will be conducted by the external independent consultant.
The sampling approach should be mixed methods approach to gather statistical and narrative data. The
selection of study population should also consider on gender and age disaggregation and the excluded and
marginalized groups as defined in project result framework. The sample size should be 5% of margin error,
confidence level 95% and 1.3 of design effect.
The external independent consultant is expected to review existing relevant documents (research reports and
studies conducted by LWD and other NGOs) that will help cross-check and validate information collected
from the baseline study, to prepare and collect information and data from the target respondents and
locations in a suitable sample size and sampling methods. The data should be disaggregated on relevant
parameters such as age and gender.
5.1 Quantitative data collection methods
Base of this survey is the program result framework. The Program Team is intended to have baseline data at
goal, outcome and if applicable, output levels. Possible key respondents or data sources are initially
determined by program team; however, the detailed data source and methods, and full questionnaires are
required from consultant team. program direct benefitted families are selected by program team before data
collection and data collection will be covered through those selected key numbers in Appendix 1 most
vulnerable families. HH survey questionnaires are based on indicators of goal and outcomes which are shown
in table 1. Consultant team/Firm should be submitted the draft questionnaires when they provide the
technical proposal to LWD for tender selection process.
