Deadline: 08-Dec-21
Hivos is pleased to launch a call for proposals for the Voices and Actions for Accountability in Malawi (VAAM) program.
The objective of the program is to strengthen the capacity of Malawian Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Media, high spending Ministries, Departments and Agencies and selected local government authorities in evidence gathering, analysis and the publication of findings. This will contribute towards viable, inclusive and transparent public budget and procurement processes.
The project is being implemented at both national and district level in 7 districts across the 3 regions of Malawi namely: Blantyre, Dowa, Mangochi, Ntcheu, Mzimba, Mzuzu and Zomba.
The aim of the midterm survey is to obtain an objective, critical, readable, and transparent analysis of the status of all indicators in the 7 target districts and to understand the difference made between the starting point which was established in the baseline survey against which later progress will be measured.
Objectives
The evaluation looks at all key aspects of the implemented project, including the following specific objectives:
- To assess the implementation of the project against the key target evaluation criteria, i.e. efficiency, effectiveness, relevance, sustainability and impact.
- To assess the performance and achievements of the project against the plans laid out in the approved Log frame and determine the degree to which each of the individual objectives and indicators of the project were achieved and what impact these achievements have had so far and may have in future VAAM programming
- To document the project’s key lessons learnt and best practices and provide recommendation for improvements and for further engagements
- To assess the level of sustainability of the project and partners’ implementation
Responsibilities
The Hivos Southern Africa Malawi Office will provide key primary documentation and information to be reviewed, as well as participating in some activities, including but not limited to:
- The project Proposal Documents and any other relevant documentation that will be deemed necessary for the midterm evaluation study.
- The Baseline study report
- Assist the team in setting up appointments with Partners and other relevant stakeholders.
- Consolidating Hivos’ and stakeholders’ comments for incorporation by the consultants.
- Coordinating with the consultant(s) to ensure the quality implementation of the study on ground.
