Context
The RESPECT Project aims for the ultimate change of increased enjoyment of human rights related to health by rights holders in vulnerable and marginalized situations, particularly adolescent girls and young women (AYW). Project activities are scheduled to end on October 31, 2026.
Doctors of the World (MdM) has been present in Haiti since 1996 and works in partnership with national and local stakeholders, building bridges between communities and health institutions to strengthen access to care. This involvement supports the health system in the care of pregnant women and malnourished children, in addressing issues related to women’s sexual and reproductive health, and in improving mental health.
The external evaluation of the project stems from MdM’s desire to strengthen the accountability of its actions and improve its operational strategies and practices; this evaluation is an integral part of the project and has received prior authorization from AMC. These terms of reference target a consultancy that will focus solely on MDM’s interventions in Haiti.
