Cordaid
Application Deadline: 21 April 2025
Overview
Cordaid leads the “Just Future” programme, which is one of the Strategic Partnerships financed by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) under the policy framework “Power of Voices”. The Just Future Alliance consists of 6 international consortium partners, a network partner, 35 national CSOs and 3 research partners. The Just Future programme started implementation in 2021 and will end on the 31st of December 2025. Within the Ministry, the programme falls under the Directorate for Stability and Humanitarian Aid (DSH).
Through the End-Evaluation the Just Future programme wants an independent assessment of achieved results and draw lessons for the sustainability of the achievements of the Just Future partners, particularly to sustain the benefits for the constituencies of the programme. Details for the assignment are described in the Terms of Reference: Link.
Just Future
The programme works in countries that are characterised by their fragile contexts. Through capacity strengthening (CS) of partners and through lobby and advocacy (L&A) the programme aims to influence policies and practices of decision-makers. In the last years the Just Future partners carried out advocacy for and together with vulnerable groups in six countries: Afghanistan, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Niger and South Sudan.
The programme covers three thematic areas in these countries:
● People-centred security (outcome 1)
● Access to Justice (outcome 2)
● Inclusive political decision-making and peace processes (outcome 3)
Lobby and advocacy in the programme countries is supported by international advocacy on the above topics.
Evaluation team
Given the scope of the assignment a team of consultants will be needed to cover all programme countries and the evaluation questions. Only consultancy teams or consultancy agencies are asked to apply. Ideally the applying team includes local consultants for (some of) the countries covered by Just Future.
Application
Interested parties are invited to apply by sending CVs (no more than 3 pages), an evaluation proposal, and 2 references. An example of a previous evaluation assignment must accompany the application.
The evaluation proposal should include:
● A summary relevant skills and experience of the consultancy team, particularly concerning working in fragile contexts, inclusion and evaluating advocacy results.
● A clear task division between the lead consultant as main responsible evaluator and the other team members.
● A summary of the proposed technical process and methodology based on the Terms of Reference.
● A financial proposal, with total cost, including tax, and a breakdown showing the budget for professional fees and reimbursable expenses.
