Tender description

This programme is to implement an independent evaluation of the Amplify programme. Owing to the (i) weak evidence base around the use of Human-Centred Design to create development interventions which have the potential for long-term sustainable impact, and the (ii) experimental nature of the Amplify programme, it is critical to learn from both success and failure and to develop evidence on the approaches used and distinct elements of the Amplify programme. This body of evidence will enable DFID and its development partners to better understand the value of more flexible and agile, design-centred approaches to developing programmes and whether these are more effective at meeting beneficiary needs. The overall purpose of this evaluation is to understand which components of the Amplify programme have the potential to achieve better and more relevant solutions that deliver greater depth and breadth of impact for people living in poverty.
