Description:
The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) conducts independent country programme evaluations (ICPEs) to capture and demonstrate evaluative evidence of UNDP’s contributions to development results at the country level, as well as the effectiveness of UNDP’s strategy in facilitating and leveraging national efforts for achieving development results. The purpose of an ICPE is to: a) Support the development of the next UNDP Country Programme Document; b) Strengthen accountability of UNDP to national stakeholders, and c) Strengthen accountability of UNDP to the Executive Board.
This is the third UNDP country-level evaluation conducted by IEO in Yemen. The ICPE will focus on UNDP’s country programme between 2019 and 2024, with a view to contributing to UNDP’s preparation of the next country programme starting from 2025. The IEO will conduct the evaluation in close collaboration with the UNDP Country Office in Yemen, and the UNDP Regional Bureau for Arab States.
The IEO is seeking to work with an institution to cover the country programme for Yemen between 2019 and 2024 for the outcome areas as mentioned above, namely: 1) livelihood and economic recovery; 2) governance; and 3) peace processes. In addition, cross-cutting issues will also be covered, including but not limited to, the promotion of human rights, gender equality and women’s empowerment and “leave no one behind” principles, capacity building, partnership building, UNDP’s adaption in the crisis setting, UNDP’s programming and strategic positioning in the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, monitoring and evaluation, etc.
It is envisaged that institutions will propose two individuals, with one covering outcome area 1) livelihood and economic recovery, the other outcome areas 2 and 3 (governance and peace processes). Institutions are welcome to suggest alternative team configurations with an accompanying justification. Other evaluation team members include the Lead Evaluator and Research and GIS Analyst, both from IEO, and two national consultants. The two national consultants will carry out fieldwork in Yemen, with one focusing on data collection in the northern governorates, and the other in the southern governorates. They will cover field data collection for the three outcome areas and contribute to the overall evaluation process.
Please refer to the ICPE Yemen terms of reference for further information regarding UNDP Country Programme in Yemen and the scope of the evaluation. The purpose of this RFQ is to provide information on the ICPE Yemen and solicit proposals from institutions (firms, academic and research institutions, think tanks, etc.) to participate in the evaluation.
