The purpose of this call for expressions of interest is to identify an experienced team of two experts for an evaluation of the WHO Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2013-2020 (NCD-GAP).
Context
The mandate to conduct the mid-point evaluation of the progress achieved in the implementation of the NCD-GAP derives from paragraph 1.1 of resolution WHA66.10 (2013), which endorsed the Global Action Plan. Paragraph 60 of the Global Action Plan requests the WHO Secretariat to convene a group of stakeholders to conduct a mid-point evaluation. As stated in paragraphs 26 of document A72/19 and 25 of document EB145/6, the mid-point evaluation has been delayed due to financial constraints. During discussions at 145th session of the Executive Board, Member States reiterated the relevance and urgency of conducting this evaluation.
Background
NCDs are the leading cause of death in the world. The four main noncommunicable diseases -cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes - kill three in five people worldwide. Premature deaths from NCDs, however, can be prevented by changing policies and actively engaging not only the health sector, but also sectors beyond health that have a bearing on NCDs.
To strengthen national efforts to address the burden of NCDs and attain the nine global targets for NCDs, the Sixty-sixth World Health Assembly endorsed the NCD-GAP, which includes six key objectives as follows:
- Objective 1: to raise the priority accorded to the prevention and control of NCDs in global, regional and national agendas and internationally agreed development goals, through strengthened international cooperation and advocacy
- Objective 2: to strengthen national capacity, leadership, governance, multisectoral action and partnerships to accelerate country response for the prevention and control of NCDs
- Objective 3: to reduce modifiable risk factors for NCDs and underlying social determinants through creation of health-promoting environments
- Objective 4: to strengthen and orient health systems to address the prevention and control of NCDs and the underlying social determinants through people-centred primary health care and universal health coverage
- Objective 5: to promote and support national capacity for high-quality research and development for the prevention and control of NCDs
- Objective 6: to monitor the trends and determinants of NCDs and evaluate progress in their prevention and control.
The NCD-GAP follows on from commitments made by Heads of State and Government in the United Nations Political Declaration on the Prevention and Control of NCDs, recognizing the primary role and responsibility of Governments in responding to the challenge of NCDs and the important role of international cooperation to support national efforts.
The NCD-GAP provides a road map and a menu of policy options for all Member States and other stakeholders, to take coordinated and coherent action, at all levels, local to global, to attain the nine voluntary global targets, including that of a 25% relative reduction in premature mortality from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases by 2025.
In May 2019, the Seventy-second World Health Assembly confirmed the objectives of the NCD-GAP as a contribution towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal target 3.4 (by 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and wellbeing) and other noncommunicable disease-related goals and targets, and extended the period of the action plans to 2030 in order to ensure their alignment with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Objectives
The purpose of the mid-point evaluation is to assess the accomplishments of the six objectives of the NCD-GAP, as well as the lessons learned throughout implementation of the NCD-GAP in Member States, by international partners, and at the three levels of the Organization.
The objective is as follows:
a) To document successes, challenges and gaps in the implementation of the NCD-GAP since 2013;
b) To provide lessons learned and strategic recommendations to improve the implementation of the NCD-GAP until 2030, in particular within the context of the implementation of the 13th WHO General Programme of Work (2019-2023), WHO Programme Budget 2020-2021, the commitments included in the three UNGA Political Declarations on NCDs, the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, in particular SDG target 3.4, and the Global Action Plan of UN organizations for Healthy Lives and Well-being for All;
c) To provide inputs for the next WHO Global Status Report on NCDs (pending since 2016), as well as other reports, including on contributions to reducing premature mortality from NCDs by promoting mental health, reducing air pollution, and strengthening health systems.
Scope
The scope of the NCD-GAP endorsed in 2013 includes: 1) four types of noncommunicable diseases —cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes—which make the largest contribution to morbidity and mortality due to noncommunicable diseases, and 2) four shared behavioural risk factors—tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol.
Deliverables and Timeline
It is envisaged that this exercise will require 80 working days (around 40 days per expert) for the selected team of experts during the period November 2019 to April 2020. An inception phase will start as early as possible, with an inception report to be produced in November 2019. Data collection, which will include a desk review of available technical and financial reports, documents and tools, and key informant interviews, will take place from December 2019 to February 2020. Data analysis and report drafting will occur in February-March 2020 with a final report presented to WHO by early April 2020.

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to enter into a contractual agreement with a successful bidder and select a suitable contractor to carry out an Independent Evaluation of the implementation of the UNAIDS-CDC Cooperative Agreement: Strengthening Public Health Capacity and Strategic Information Systems (October 2016 – September 2021).
The evaluation will focus on UNAIDS Secretariat strategic information work, as funded by CDC within the scope of the Cooperative Agreement (CoAg), and in the context of broader country HIV strategic information progress.
The evaluation is designed for accountability for results and organizational learning. It will provide actionable recommendations to the UNAIDS Secretariat and CDC for improving the implementation of the next phases of the CoAg. It will also inform improvement to UNAIDS work on strategic information at global and country level beyond the CoAg, and benefit HIV stakeholders, including information systems’ managers. The evaluation will highlight good practices and examples of barriers as well as characteristics of the context linked to progress.
The evaluation will examine the global and country level work of the UNAIDS Secretariat (in nine Fast-Track countries) – based on specific questions, and against the standard OECD DAC evaluation criteria.
The evaluation will be carried out by a small team of independent external consultants (two consultants may be sufficient) offering a mix of evaluation expertise and HIV strategic information/epidemiology knowledge. For the countries where case studies will be conducted, the team should include additional local consultants. This is important to ensure consideration of contextual knowledge into the analysis.
Methodologies will include key informant interviews, country case studies, stakeholder surveys, the use of metrics, direct observation and desk reviews. Established techniques for assessing and verifying the subjective findings from interviews and surveys should be applied.
Expected users of the evaluation results are the UNAIDS Secretariat, CDC, UNAIDS Cosponsors (all levels), and other stakeholders, including managers of strategic information systems, Ministries of Health and national AIDS coordinating authorities and AIDS implementing partners at country level.
UNAIDS is an organization that is dependent on voluntary core and non-core contributions it receives for the implementation of its activities. Bidders are therefore requested to propose the best and most cost-effective solution to meet UNAIDS requirements, while ensuring a high level of service.

Title: Evaluation of four Community Development Programs in Nigeria
Organization: Bread for the World
Deadlines: Expression of interest and questions by 02nd June 2019, response to questions by 07th June 2019, submission of offers by 30th June 2019
Abstract:
In Nigeria Bread for the World is currently supporting 17 local partners; four of them are implementing ‘Rural Community Development Programs’. These programs intervene mostly in the middle belt and North-East of Nigeria; a region characterized by increasingly unsafe living conditions especially in terms of food safety and security. The mostly rural population is engaged in farming at subsistence level and their main challenges are increasing desertification and conflicts over arable and grazing land. Further there is a lack of roads and transportation infrastructure and thus access to markets. There is also a pronounced lack of access to land for female farmers. The programs are covering different thematic areas like health, literacy, conflict management, inter-religious dialogue, strengthening community structures and CBOs, agriculture and agricultural extension in the context of food security.
The planned evaluation is intended to go beyond individual project evaluations of the current phases and to compare these four programs with a certain historical depth. The intention is to ensure that different ways of dealing with similar challenges are also given appropriate consideration. Moreover, it is also about initiating joint institutional learning processes (e.g. through the exchange of best practices or peer learning).
The objective of the evaluation is to focus on the organizations and their capacities as well as on the projects that they are implementing.
The following specific objectives have been identified for the organizational component:
- to assess the quality and capacity of the organizations and their staff.
- to get recommendations for improvement and adjustment of the organizational working structures in relation to project implementation and identify learning potentials.
The following specific objectives have been identified for the program component:
- to reconstruct the Theory of Change for each of the programs as well as to develop an overarching model combining the different community development approaches of the programs.
- to assess the program’s approach and strategies towards community development.
- to assess the project outcomes according to the OECD/DAC criteria using the identified key questions.
- to get recommendations for the organizations regarding their approaches and sectoral competences as well as around project implementation and outcomes.
- to get recommendations for Bread for the World how these projects can be systematically supported in the future.

Bread for the World has been working with church and non-church partner organisations in Ethiopia for several decades. The portfolio currently comprises 49 projects in implementation with 18 partner organisations in every region of the country. The regional office of Bread for the World in Addis Ababa maintains close contact with the partner organisations and supports them in project management and outcome and impact orientation. The first SEWOH project in Ethiopia started in 2016.
The four projects to be evaluated are being implemented by Bread for the World partner organisations in various regions of the country and their respective duration, from 2018 or 2019 on, is 4 to 5 years. The projects shall be accompanied with an evaluation design from the beginning of 2019. A quasi-experimental design with comparison peer groups and three measurement time points shall be used as the evaluation design: first measurement in 2019 (delayed baseline – t1), mid-term review in 2021 (t2) and final measurement in 2023 (t3). The accompanying impact evaluation shall use the reviews from the various measurement points of the target and comparison groups as well as assess the projects comparatively in the framework of the developed overarching impact model. Ethical considerations concerning the formation of comparison groups shall be addressed through an appropriate process that is to be defined in close cooperation with the regional office and the partner organisations.
The projects are linked through the fact that they are all carried out in the framework of the SEWOH Initiative and have comparable project goals, target groups and strategies. The aim of the accompanying impact evaluation with comparison group design is to strengthen project strategies, improve monitoring and provide for impact measurement at the end of the projects. The following goals have been defined:
- The underlying impact logic of the projects is assessed and reconstructed. An overarching impact model for all four projects is established.
- The appropriateness of the project strategies and the implementation design are examined and recommendations for improvement and adjustment during the course of project implementation will be made.
- The impacts of the projects during the project implementation and at the end of the project for all four projects are identified in accordance with OECD/DAC criteria. Constraining and promoting factors concerning the project impacts, unintended positive and/or negative impacts and external factors which have an impact on the impact logic are captured. During each measurement point the results for the four projects as well as overarching results for this measurement point are discussed. Combined results from all projects and all measurement points are discussed in one overarching synthesis report.
- Good practices and lessons learned for SEWOH and other applicable projects are highlighted. Thematic exchanges and collective learning process between the partner organisations have been facilitated.
- With regard to the projects evaluated, selected research questions concerning impact factors in the area of agricultural innovation have been answered and recommendations for future projects and/or guidelines have been formulated.
- Recommendations for the implementation of and support and advice to SEWOH projects are provided during the course of the project and following completion.
- An independent assessment for accountability to the public and the BMZ is available. Please see attached attached the Terms of Reference.

Title: Evaluation of the Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH) Humanitarian Response Programme in the context of the Syria Crisis
Organisation: Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe
Deadlines: Expression of interest and questions until 11th of April 2018, Response to questions by 13th of April 2018, submission of offers by 6th of Mai 2018
Short description:
During the period from 2012 until 2017, DKH has supported relief, early recovery and rehabilitation projects with a funding volume of about € 54 Mio. in Syria and its neighboring countries (Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey). More than 950,000 people have been assisted within over 50 projects.
DKH’s response to the Syria-crisis initially focussed on emergency relief. Over the years, it started to include more and more projects in early recovery and rehabilitation. The initial geographical focus on Syria’s neighbouring countries was shifted to programs in Syria since 2016.
While DKH could count on a strong network of partner organizations in Syria’s neighboring countries, for Syria itself a partner structure needed to be developed – a process which is still ongoing. Partner organizations have been supported by DKH through the headquarter in Berlin and were to a large extend accompanied through the DKH Regional Office which was located until in Istanbul/Turkey end of 2017. Today the Regional Office is based in Amman/Jordan.
This is the first regional program evaluation of a DKH response in the context of armed conflict and crises. Previous regional program evaluations have focused on DKH responses in the context of natural disasters. The evaluation is primarily intended for the use of DKH (headquarter and regional office) as well as partner organizations. While this is not a project evaluation, it needs to consider both perspectives: the DKH’s response to the Syria-crisis in general as well as the individual projects.
The specific objectives of the evaluation are:
- To evaluate the adequacy of the response, taking into account the specific (changing) needs and the social and political context in the region, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability and coordination of the program;
- To identify lessons learned for DKH and its partner organisations for the future conceptualisation and implementation of projects with a focus on Syria and Iraq as well as in the context of armed conflicts in general;
- To identify lessons learned from the transition from acute emergency relief to early recovery (linking relief to recovery) as well as on DKH’s reaction to funding constraints leading to phasing out country programs;
- To analyse the systematic use of a response analysis and consequently the appropriateness of the used modalities (cash, vouchers or in kind) and identify gaps within this.

Summary:
Brooke is an equine welfare charity, founded in 1934. We currently fund programmes to promote equine welfare in ten countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. A key element of our work includes activities to influence the behaviour of people who own or use equine animals, so that they treat their animals in ways which minimise harm and maximise welfare. To assess how successful this work is, we have developed a survey tool called Owner Behaviour Monitoring (OBM). The tool is designed to be used on an annual basis, so that progress in promoting desired behaviours can be tracked over time.
While the results provided by OBM so far have proved useful, Brooke would like to review its design and use. Specifically, we would like to ensure that is it adequate and appropriate for the tasks it is intended for, and to assess if it could be improved.

Title: Evaluation of the Nepal Earthquake Response Programme
Organization: Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe / Brot für die Welt
Deadline: 30.06.2017
Short description:
The massive earthquakes in Nepal in April and May 2015, affected more than 8 million people, resulted in 8,891 deaths and more than 22,000 injured, destroyed houses, socio-economic infrastructure and 2 of 7 public facilities (schools, hospitals etc.). More than 600,000 houses were destroyed and over 288,000 were damaged by the April and May earthquakes. Large parts of the affected population did not dispose of necessary coping strategies and protective mechanisms. Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH) decided immediately to join the international emergency response. As Nepal is not defined as a focus country by DKH, no relations and structures with local partner organizations were established in the country. As Bread for the World – Protestant Development Service has been working in Nepal since 1971 with local partner organizations, DKH could for the start rely on some of these partners although they had very limited experience in emergency assistance. In order to support the partner organizations in their relief efforts, to initiate new partnerships, to set up an own operational structure, and to develop a DKH response strategy a team of international consultants was sent to Nepal. The interest of DKH and Bread for the World – Protestant Development Service to commission this evaluation is to learn from the Nepal earthquake response for similar large scale programmes following major natural disasters in the future. Additionally, special attention should be paid to the LRRD (Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development) approach, namely building “bridges” between disaster relief (short-term), reconstruction and rehabilitation (mid-term) and development assistance (long-term), including disaster risk reduction so that DKH and Bread for the World – Protestant Development Service can improve the coordination and cooperation between them – also before disaster strikes – and to create most of possible synergies.
The United Nations Educational, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) hereby invites qualified companies / individuals to submit proposals to conduct an evaluation of the Project “Improving Teacher Support and Participation in Local Education Groups (LEGs)”.

DCPSF Phase II Evaluation
Organization: UNDP
Location: Khartoum, Sudan
Deadline 16 August 2016
The Darfur Community Peace and Stability Fund (DCPSF), a multi-donor trust fund, began in 2007, and Phase II began in 2012. The DCPSF Phase II intended to support inclusive and sustainable Darfur-wide peace negotiations through local level peace and stability.
The Fund supported UN agencies, international, and national NGOs to implement projects in line with the theory of change.
A two-pronged Theory of Change was considered:
I. IF processes of dialogue and consultation are independently brokered, THEN trust and confidence amongst diverse communities is restored.
II. IF targeted material inputs (programmes and services) are delivered, THEN community needs are responded to and processes of dialogue and consultation underpinned.
It is understood in this ToC that in order to enable dialogue and consultation, existing community based resolution mechanisms must be revitalized or alternatively new platforms established. Further, material inputs must respond to root causes and triggers of conflict in order to contribute to conflict prevention and to create conditions conducive towards trust and confidence-building.
To assess the impact of DCPSF Phase II, the evaluator/evaluation team will deliver:
• A desk review and summary of reviewed documents
• An evaluation framework and work plan
• Conduct meetings with stakeholders
• Inception report and presentations
• Conduct field visits and data collection
• Summarize main findings
• Draft and finalise report.

Bread for the World: Evaluation of Human Rights Project Area
Evaluierung des Förderbereiches Menschenrechte
Terms of Reference
1. Einleitung
Brot für die Welt ist das weltweit tätige Entwicklungswerk der evangelischen Landesund Freikirchen in Deutschland, das in fast 100 Ländern rund um den Globus arme und ausgegrenzte Menschen befähigt, aus eigener Kraft ihre Lebenssituation zu verbessern.
Schwerpunkte der Arbeit sind die Ernährungssicherung, die Förderung von Bildung und Gesundheit, die Achtung der Menschenrechte sowie die Bewahrung der Schöpfung.
Durch Lobby-, Öffentlichkeits- und Bildungsarbeit in Deutschland und Europa wird versucht, politische Entscheidungen im Sinne der Armen zu beeinflussen und ein Bewusstsein für die Notwendigkeit einer nachhaltigen Lebens- und Wirtschaftsweise zu schaffen.
2012 schlossen sich der Evangelische Entwicklungsdienst e.V. (EED) und das Diakonische Werk der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland e. V. zum Evangelischen Werk für Diakonie und Entwicklung e.V. (EWDE) zusammen. Die Ökumenische Diakonie (OED), früherer entwicklungspolitischer Teilbereich des Diakonischen Werks, wurde hierbei mit dem EED zusammengelegt und bildet nun den Bereich Brot für die Welt in der neuen Organisation.
Im Rahmen der zwischen den kirchlichen Zentralstellen und dem Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) im Jahr 2009 vereinbarten „Leitlinien zur ziel- und wirkungsorientierten Erfolgskontrolle im Bereich der Förderung entwicklungswichtiger Vorhaben der Kirchen“ führt Brot für die Welt zum vierten Mal eine Evaluation eines Förderbereiches durch. Gegenstand der diesjährigen Förderbereichsevaluierung (FBE) ist der Förderbereich Menschenrechte.
Die Förderbereichsevaluierung Menschenrechte findet bei Brot für die Welt als auch Misereor als paralleler Prozess statt.
2. Förderbereich Menschenrechte bei Brot für die Welt
Brot für die Welt unterstützt zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen bei ihrem Eintreten für Rechte, Würde und Beteiligungschancen aller Menschen. Zentraler Schwerpunkt ist der Kampf gegen Hunger und Armut. Dabei setzten sich Brot für die Welt und seine Partner dafür ein, dass die Ursachen von Unterdrückung, Diskriminierung und Gewalt überwunden werden. Die Verwirklichung der bürgerlichen und politischen wie der wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturellen Menschenrechte ist eine wichtige Strategie hierfür.
Um die vielen Formen von Armut zu überwinden, die durch Diskriminierung, Marginalisierung und Rechtsverletzungen von Menschen verursacht werden, ist es notwendig, Betroffene in die Lage zu versetzen, ihre Rechte zu verteidigen bzw. die Verursacher von Unrecht zur Verantwortung zu ziehen. Ohne Rechtssicherheit im Zugang zu produktiven Ressourcen beispielsweise fällt es Kleinbäuerinnen und -bauern schwer, ein angemessenes Einkommen zu erzielen. Soziale Entwicklung kann ohne Umsetzung der Menschenrechte nicht gelingen. Entwicklungsbemühungen sind nicht erfolgreich, wenn nicht auch Teilhaberechte, Mitbestimmung und Zugang zu Beschwerdeverfahren und Gerichtsbarkeit, Rechtsstaatlichkeit und entsprechende Formen von Staatlichkeit existieren.
Entwicklung darf nicht an den Menschen vorbei geplant werden und kann nicht ohne staatliches Engagement für die Umsetzung der Menschenrechte funktionieren.
Eine lebendige Demokratie, die die Bekämpfung von Armut, Gerechtigkeit und Frieden im Blick hat, braucht eine starke und eigenständige Zivilgesellschaft, die sich einmischt und diese kritisch begleitet.
Der Schutz vor Menschenrechtsverletzungen und die Unterstützung von Menschenrechtsverteidigerinnen und Menschenrechtsverteidigern ist wichtiger Teil der Arbeit von Brot für die Welt. Gewaltsame Konflikte um politische Macht, knapper werdende Ressourcen und die Zerstörung der Umwelt gehören weiterhin zu den größten entwicklungspolitischen Herausforderungen. Deshalb setzt sich Brot für die Welt dafür ein, dass zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen weltweit handlungsfähig bleiben, in der Entwicklungspolitik gehört werden und sie mitgestalten können.
Menschenrechtsarbeit findet bei Brot für die Welt auf verschiedenen Ebenen statt. Brot für die Welt unterstützt lokale Partnerorganisationen bei der Nutzung nationaler, regionaler und internationaler Menschenrechtssysteme und juristischer Verfahren sowie durch Beistand und politische Interventionen in Situationen akuter oder anhaltender Bedrohung von Menschenrechtsverteidigerinnen und Menschenrechtsverteidigern. In Deutschland und Europa setzt Brot für die Welt menschenrechtliche Anliegen auf die politische Agenda und verdeutlicht die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Politik in Europa und der Menschenrechtssituation im globalen Süden.
Unter Berücksichtigung des Mehrebenenansatzes ist die Vielzahl der Förderungen von Brot für die Welt auf der Mikroebene angesiedelt. Auf der Meso- und Makroebene finden Kooperationen mit relevanten nationalen, internationalen und transnational tätigen Menschenrechtsorganisationen und –institutionen statt.
3. Beschreibung und Auswahl der Grundgesamtheit
Gegenstand der Evaluation sind Maßnahmen im Bereich Menschenrechte. Die Förderung der Menschenrechte durch Brot für die Welt geschieht durch finanzielle und durch personelle Förderung. Evaluiert werden Maßnahmen, die durch Mittel des BMZ, durch Spenden sowie durch Mittel des Kirchlichen Entwicklungsdienstes der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland (KED) finanziert wurden.

7. Methoden und Standards
Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass die Evaluationsstandards der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Evaluation (DeGEval) sowie die Prinzipien und Standards der OECD-DAC für eine partizipative, glaubwürdige, gendersensitive und faire Evaluierung berücksichtigt werden.
Es ist darauf zu achten, dass sowohl quantitative als auch qualitative Methoden genutzt werden. Die Erhebung in den Feldphasen sollten einen partizipativen Charakter haben und Selbstreflexion vor allem bei den stark marginalisierten und diskriminierten Zielgruppen befördern. Die angewandten Methoden sollten inklusiv sein und die sozial kulturellen Kontexte respektieren. Zu der Durchführung von Evaluierungsworkshops mit Partnerorganisationen wird ermutigt.
Die Dokumentation der methodischen Vorgehensweise ist elementarer Bestandteil eines jeden Evaluationsberichts von Brot für die Welt.
In der Methodenauswahl muss forschungsethisch korrekt vorgegangen werden. Der Feldzugang erfolgt mit Respekt für kulturelle Traditionen. Die Evaluierung unterliegt dem do no harm Prinzip.
8. Ablauf
Die Evaluation setzt sich aus folgenden Phasen zusammen:
1. Einer Desk-Phase, in der unter Punkt 5 beschriebene Aufgaben erfüllt werden. Eine erste Bestandsaufnahme zur Grundgesamtheit liegt vor. Die Desk-Studie kann sich auf eine repräsentative Stichprobe beziehen, für die ausführliche Projektunterlagen gesichtet werden sollen, insbesondere die
- Projektanträge, Bewilligungsvorlagen und fachlichen Stellungnahmen,
- Sach- und Endberichte, PME Bögen
- Beratungs- und Reiseberichte,
- sowie vorhandenen Studien und Evaluationsberichte.
Zudem erfolgt eine Befragung von Schlüsselpersonen bei Brot für die Welt und ggf. externen relevanten Stakeholdern Gewonnene Erkenntnisse werden in Relation gesetzt zu:
- Grundsatzpapieren von Brot für die Welt
- und Positionspapieren, Konzeptpapieren und Strategiepapieren zur Einordnung von Menschenrechten in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit der internationalen Gemeinschaft, nationalen Stakeholdern (staatliche und nichtstaatliche Organisationen) und der wissenschaftlichen Debatte.
Das genaue methodische Vorgehen zur Auswertung der Dokumente (Stichproben, Verwendung von PC Software, etc.) sowie der Befragungen von Schlüsselpersonen bei Brot für die Welt – Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst wird im Rahmen eines Inception Reports vom GutachterInnenteam vorgeschlagen und mit Brot für die Welt vereinbart.
Am Ende der Desk-Phase erfolgt ein ausführlicher Bericht, der auch Handlungsschritte für die nachfolgende Feldphase aufzeigt. Die Desk-Phase ist für September 2016 bis Februar 2017 geplant.
2. Einer Feldphase, die auf den Ergebnissen der Desk-Phase aufbaut. Sie erfüllt die Aufgaben beschrieben unter 5.2, indem
- im Rahmen eines Stichprobenverfahrens anhand von Kriterien ausgewählte Länder und ihre Projekte besucht werden,
- quantitative und qualitative Erhebungen bei den Partnerorganisationen, Fachkräften, Stakeholdern und Zielgruppen vor Ort durchgeführt werden,
- offene Fragestellungen aus der Desk Studie näher untersucht werden.
Für jede Fallstudie liegt ein Bericht in der jeweiligen Projektsprache vor, in welchem die Projekte nach DAC Kriterien analysiert werden. Eine angemessene und innovative Methodenauswahl wird vorausgesetzt.
Die Feld-Phase ist für das zweite und dritte Quartal 2017 vorgesehen. Es werden voraussichtlich Feldstudien in drei bis vier Ländern in unterschiedlichen Regionen mit mehreren Partnerorganisationen durchgeführt. Die Nutzung neuer Technologien zur Datenerhebung sollte wo möglich in Erwähnung gezogen werden.
3. Einer Synthese-Phase,

Evaluation of the WHO Geographical Mobility Policy
Call for Expression of Interest

The purpose of this call for expression of interest is to identify an experienced consultant to initially work with the WHO Evaluation Office to develop a framework and tools to undertake this evaluation.
Background
The WHO Geographical Mobility Policy came into effect on 21 January 2016. The policy sets out provisions governing mobility of WHO staff members in the professional and higher categories (International Professionals).
Mobility in WHO is a condition of service for all staff as set out in the Staff Regulations. It is also an opportunity for career development and is crucial in securing and increasing staff efficiency and competence for a high performing Organization. International Professionals have joined an international Organization which has offices based at multiple duty stations, at country, regional and headquarters levels. In order to understand, contribute, and be exposed to the realities of the work at all three levels of the Organization, staff members are expected to take the initiative for their own mobility, including geographical mobility, and to rotate to other positions in different duty stations in the course of their career with WHO.
It is envisaged that during its initial voluntary phase the implementation of the policy will be evaluated annually. The lessons learnt from these evaluations will inform the Organization on how to effectively implement the policy during the mandatory phase as from 1 January 2019.
Objectives
The overall objective is to develop an evaluation framework and tools to undertake evaluation of the mobility policy.
Deliverables and Timeline
It is envisaged that this exercise will be conducted from 9 May to 24 June 2016.
Profile of the evaluation expert
The exercise will be undertaken by an independent expert and members of the WHO Evaluation Office (EVL).
WHO is looking for an experienced external independent consultant to work with the Evaluation Office to undertake this work, with the following experience, knowledge and skills:
- At least ten years of relevant experience in evaluation
- Recent experience of conducting evaluability assessments or designing and conducting complex evaluations at WHO or in other UN agencies
- Understanding and experience of evaluating implementation of HR-related policies in UN and/or other multilateral agencies an advantage
- Proven communication, facilitation and writing skills
- Excellent working knowledge of English (oral and written), second UN language beneficial.
How to apply

This fund (3F for short) has been established in order to facilitate and accelerate the development of the theory, practice, and profession of evaluation: the Faster Forward Fund is now open for proposals, and applications are due September 15, 2015, or April 15, 2016.
3F is based on the belief that explicit attention to the critical study of the methodology and foundations of a discipline and its applications—especially in the case of an emerging or radically changing discipline—can avoid many dead ends in its development, and nurture valuable new perspectives. To this end, 3F’s modest funds will be mainly devoted to support ‘new paradigm,’ a.k.a., ‘out of the box,’ critical studies of evaluation, or new models or applications for it, by contrast with evaluation studies of the usual applied kind on a variety of evaluands other than evaluation.
Since good evaluation is a vital tool for achieving social progress and in particular for meeting severe needs, 3F will also emphasize support for projects that show promise for significant social benefits. 3F is set up under the financial management of the Marin Community Fund, the third largest in the US, which is duly registered as a 501(c)(3) entity.
More details about this effort, including the distinguished Advisory Committee who will run it with Dr. Jane Davidson as the Chief Operations Officer, and some of its other work including the ‘Micro Pro Bono’ project, will be found at fasterforwardfund.org.

Call for proposals to undertake an post-closure evaluation of VSO’s recently closed Sri Lanka office
VSO are commissioning this evaluation to contribute to our understanding of our global Theory of Change. Specifically, it will help us examine and test assumptions around our approach to building capacity of local partner organisations. We want to do this with reference to programming that already finished in order to consider sustainability. This evaluation will ultimately inform future VSOs post-closure processes and evaluations moving forward and improve our ability to evidence the sustainability of our programmes.
This evaluation is being commissioned principally to contribute to our understanding of our global Theory of Change. Specifically, it will help us examine and test assumptions around our approach to building capacity of local partner organisations. We want to do this with reference to programming that has already finished in order to consider dimensions of sustainability. An additional advantage of this approach is to give us much-needed experience of post-closure evaluations. Thus, the aims of the evaluation are:
· to interrogate some key assumptions in our global Theory of Change and provide evidence to support or refute them;
· to provide evidence for and articulate the uniqueness and value of international volunteers in capacity development;
· to give us experience in post-closure evaluations, and assessing the sustainability of our work.
After working in Sri Lanka for more than forty years, in March 2014 VSO closed its programme.

VSO are commissioning an evaluation of work to improve teacher effectiveness in Ethiopia and Zanzibar, both of which use different approaches to teacher professional development. This evaluation will inform VSOs education programming moving forward and improve the evidence base underpinning VSO’s global Theory of Change in Education.
This evaluation will provide a comparative analysis of two models used in Zanzibar and Ethiopia to distil learning of relevance for VSOs wider education programme portfolio. In particular, we are keen to:
- Test the validity and effectiveness of VSOs tripartite theory (teaching and learning, education governance, and community engagement)
- Better understand depth vs breadth tradeoffs – depth referring to interventions where VSO reaches smaller numbers of beneficiaries (children in school) intensively through mentoring / coaching teachers and school leaders in clusters of schools, and breadth referring to cascaded teacher training models where VSO uses a ‘train the trainer’ approach to ultimately reach large numbers of beneficiaries.
