Country: Ethiopia
Closing date: 19 Mar 2018
The” Preventing and Responding to Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Ethiopia” programme ran for three years from 2015-2017 with a total estimated budget of USD 2,999,627 and implemented in the following regions of Ethiopia: Federal, Somali, Afar, Oromia, Amhara, Dire Dawa and SNNPR.The overall development goal of the project is for women and girls who are survivors of violence to have access to justice and protection services, while also working towards the prevention of VAWG.
The three-year programme has the following expected outcomes: (1) Federal and regional normative frameworks and enforcement mechanisms to prevent and respond to VAWG developed and implemented in line with international human rights standards; (2) Protective services that provide immediate and comprehensive care are available for women and girls survivors of violence; and (3) women and girls enjoy greater freedoms and rights within their community. Since the first phase of the programme came to an end in 2017, UN Women ECO would like to conduct an evaluation of the programme. This evaluation is strategic in terms of realizing the contributions made by the programme towards ending violence against women and girls (EVAWG) in Ethiopia and identifying good practices and lessons learned to inform the next phase, including future programming and initiatives on EVAWG. The findings of the evaluation will also be used for strategic policy decisions, organizational learning and accountability. The office is thus seeking a team of consultants to conduct an end evaluation of the programme. The evaluation should be guided by guiding documents for evaluation at UN Women, including the Evaluation Policy, Evaluation Chapter of the POM, the GERAAS evaluation report quality checklist, the United Nations System-wide Action Plan Evaluation Performance Indicator (UN-SWAP EPI) and the UN Women Evaluation Handbook. These documents serve as the frame of reference for the Evaluation Manager and the evaluation consultant(s) for ensuring compliance with the various requirements and assuring the quality of the evaluation report.
Responsibilities: • The evaluation team prepares all evaluation reports, which should reflect an agreed-upon approach and design for the evaluation from the perspective of the evaluation team and the evaluation manager. • Responsible for the following deliverables: desk review; evaluation design, data collection tools and instruments; inception report; rapid evaluability assessment; data collection and field visits; final evaluation report. • To avoid conflict of interest and undue pressure, the members of the evaluation team need to be independent, implying that they must not have been directly responsible for the design, or overall management of the subject of the evaluation, nor expect to be in the near future. • Evaluators must have no vested interest and must have the full freedom to conduct their evaluative work impartially. They must be able to express their opinion in a free manner.
