Background
The International Development Company, a Research & Development firm headquartered in Canada, is seeking several experts for the evaluation of a project in the Central African Republic.
Mission objectives
The purpose of this evaluation is twofold: 1) to report to the Government, the donor (ECW), contributors, and rights holders themselves on the program’s results and any changes it has undergone compared to expected outcomes, including both desired and unintended impacts; and 2) to identify the program’s strengths, areas for improvement, and the reasons why certain results did or did not occur, in order to draw lessons learned, best practices, and avenues for future learning. The lessons learned from this evaluation will primarily benefit the client, the donor, and the Central African Government in designing and implementing the next phase of the MYRP program. Secondary users of the evaluation results include rights holders (children, adolescents, young beneficiaries, and their parents), community leaders, and civil society organizations.
Through the identification of these lessons, the evaluation will formulate concrete recommendations aimed at strengthening the planning of humanitarian interventions, the development of the sector and the link between emergency and development in the education system.
In general, the results will contribute to enriching knowledge in the field of education and training in the Central African Republic, and will be accessible to the general public for optimal use.
The specific objectives of the mission are:
- To assess the progress made in achieving the results of the MYRP program (effectiveness) in terms of outputs and effects, as well as the overall objective, including cross-cutting issues related to human rights, gender equality, and disability.
