The Donkey Sanctuary is looking for an experienced and reputable organisation / individual consultant to conduct an impact evaluation of the 25-year partnership between The Donkey Sanctuary and Addis Ababa University (1995-2020). The impact evaluation will shed light on whether the partnering endeavour’s activities directly or indirectly had an effect (positive or negative) on the target groups or focus area, and whether this effect can legitimately be attributed to the intervention.
The main objectives of the impact evaluation are to understand:
- What impact have graduates from the College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture had on equine welfare in Ethiopia.
- What effect has research on equine related topics had on the wider world.
- To what extent has the provision of clinical care to working donkeys (supported through the partnership) contributed to improved donkey welfare?
- What effect has community training and education had on the target group’s understanding of animal welfare and/or change in behaviour towards donkeys and mules.
- What has been the value and impact of working together through a partnerships for AAU and TDS
- What unintended results/impacts – positive and negative – did the partnership’s interventions produce? How did these occur?
The Donkey Sanctuary requires the work to be completed by no later than 30th November 2022. However, it is desirable for the work to be completed prior to this, and as soon as is practically possible. It is expected that the total cost of the Impact Evaluation will fall within the range of £10,000-£20,000.
