Social Return on Investment study
of Farm Africa’s Maendeleo Agricultural Enterprise Fund intervention delivered
to PRICON in Uganda
Background
As part of our commitment to
ensuring a holistic understanding of how change is created within the
interventions we employ in ou
r programmes, Farm Africa is inviting expressions
of interest from individuals or organisations with the relevant expertise to
undertake a study into the social value that the MAEF project created working
with PRICON.
Purpose of the Research
Through employing the Social
Return on Investment methodology developed by Social Value UK, the study
will answer the following:
(i) To what extent can Farm
Africa demonstrate that the MAEF challenge fund intervention extended to
PRICON, has delivered added benefit and value to SMEs, smallholder farmers,
participating groups, communities and partners and others if applicable?
(ii) To what extent can this be
considered an effective use of invested resources?
(iii) To what extent has the MAEF
intervention with PRICON delivered value for money?
(iv) To what extent has the MAEF
intervention incorporated learning to improve subsequent/current programming?
Sub-questions:
a) To what extent can the SROI
methodology feasibly be applied given available documentation and information,
as well as the context and various stages employed by the MAEF project?
b) What are the challenges in
this regard?
c) How could Farm Africa’s
monitoring and evaluation system be adjusted to better facilitate
socio-economic cost benefit analysis in future?
We anticipate that this
assignment will take approximately 11 weeks, including some field work, and
will be concluded by 30th December 2016. Bids will be assessed on a)
understanding of the brief, b) appropriateness and credibility of approach, c)
skills, knowledge and experience of contractor(s) and d) value for money.
