Description:
The Austrian Development Agency (ADA), the implementing agency of the Austrian Development Cooperation, is seeking qualified consultants to conduct an Evaluability Assessment of Austria’s bilateral development finance contribution to climate action.
Several actors and Ministries are involved in Austria’s climate finance, which is specified in the Austrian Climate Finance Strategy 2013-2020 and its revision 2017. Given the multiplicity of actors involved and the complexity of the climate finance portfolio at hand, it was decided to commission an evaluability assessment (EA) as a first step towards a possible later evaluation and/or impact evaluation.
The EA will be carried out in line with the provisions for evaluability assessments set out in the Guidelines for Evaluability Assessments in Austrian development cooperation (2022). As such, the EA will analyse Austria’s bilateral development finance contribution to climate action along four facets of evaluability, namely (i) the quality of the design (as for instance expressed in a theory of change, ToC, if available), (ii) the availability of data, (iii) stakeholders interests and demands, and (iv) the institutional and contextual circumstances for conducting an evaluation.
As part of the assignment and based on the findings of the EA, recommendations will be developed for necessary adaptations to ensure evaluability. Furthermore, to pave the way for a possible future impact evaluation, 2-4 components (or pathways of change) will be identified as potential future evaluation objects.
In total, 60-75 working days are estimated for this assignment.
