Closing
date: 18 Oct 2015

To
design and carry-out an external evaluation for a DFID funded livelihoods
project in the DRC and Rwanda. The lead evaluator will be expected to design,
plan and lead implementation of the evaluation. S/he will prepare the report on
the evaluation. The evaluator will be expected to outline the methodology of
the evaluation but it should address all aspects of the TOR, meet the objectives
of accountability and learning, and be based on a methodology that provides
robust and credible information on outputs, outcomes

and impact. Ideally the
report will capture information on both intended and unintended outcomes, (both
positive and negative where appropriate), in order to inform good practice in
the future and provide a comprehensive review of the project.

Full

An
Inception Report, no later than COB Tuesday 15 December 2015;
A
full Draft Report, no later than COB Sunday 7 February 2016;
A
Final Report, no later than COB Sunday 21 February 2016. The lead
evaluator will be responsible for writing the final report and submitting
it to Programme Officer, SCIAF within the agreed time.

The
evaluation report, which will be written in English language, should be clear,
easy to understand, concise and useful for the organisations and beneficiaries.
The main body of the report should usually not exceed 40 pages and will include
an executive summary and recommendations. Technical details should be confined
to appendices that should also include a list of informants and the
evaluation’s team’s work schedule. Background information should only be included
when it is directly relevant to the report’s analysis and conclusions.
Recommendations should be recorded separately and should also include details
as to how they might be implemented. SCIAF is responsible to collect feedback
on the draft report from all national partners and other stakeholders. SCIAF
will share the final evaluation report with DFID.
