Brief Outline of the Project:
Oxfam Ireland (OIE) has been implementing Ireland’s Civil Society Partnership (ICSP) for a Better World, a five-year programme funded through Irish Aid in seven countries in Southern and Eastern Africa including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Malawi, Somali(land), South Sudan, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, with 21 implementing partners and 19 strategic influencing partners.
Objective of Mid-term Review
As the programme has reached the midpoint of implementation, and as an integral part of Oxfam’s commitment to social accountability and learning, OIE will commission an independent Mid-term Review (MTR) to assess how the programme is working, in what ways, for whom and if any changes need to be made
This review should be based on feminist and decolonial principles, ensuring that the participatory approach is meaningful for stakeholders and in particular communities that ensures that learning and feedback loops are shared and closed. Time and resource allocations permitting.
