Sightsavers Ireland
Closing date for submissions 1 March 2026
Sightsavers Ireland’s programme ‘Le Chéile: Together for an inclusive better world’, also known as Ireland’s Civil Society Partnership (ICSP) for A Better World Programme, aims to bring about positive transformative change in systems, services and experiences for target populations to reach those furthest behind first (especially people with disabilities, women and girls) in selected Central and West African countries (Cameroon, Liberia, Senegal and Sierra Leone), and through global citizenship education in Ireland. Five themes are covered by the programme – inclusive eye health (IEH), inclusive education (IE), citizenship and political participation (CPP), global citizenship education (GCE) and climate action (CA). To achieve this, the programme focuses on sustainably strengthening citizenship, education, health and climate action systems so that targeted populations can claim their rights to healthcare and education and contribute to decisions that affect their lives.
Le Chéile is a five-year programme, and it is a donor requirement to conduct an external, independent End-term Evaluation (ETE). The ETE has two main purposes: 1. To assess performance and delivery of the Le Chéile programme by applying Sightsavers Ireland’s adapted set of OECD DAC criteria to review the programme in the areas of Relevance, Coherence, Effectiveness, (emerging) Impact, Sustainability, and Equity and Inclusion. 2. To identify learning and good practice to be shared with key stakeholders and inform the design of the next iteration of the ICSP programme, with particular focus on the ICSP’s thematic process outcomes of Furthest Behind First, Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, and Locally Led Development.
