DFID 7974 Performance evaluation of the Supporting Sustainable Artisanal Mining in Rwanda (SSAMIR) programme - Call Down Contract

Tender description

Deliverables under this performance evaluation contract will complement the ongoing internal monitoring and evaluation activities carried out by the TSP. Therefore, this contract is not aimed at substituting the TSP's own results measurement systems, but to complement, quality assure and advise DFID and the TSP on strategic areas for improvement from an independent perspective. The TSP will be responsible for developing its own monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) framework during the programme's 6 month inception phase, and subsequently implementing this framework. The TSP will be expected to carry out self-monitoring: self-assessment of progress. This will include (but is not limited to) updating the SSAMIR log frame, updating the Theory of Change (ToC), undertaking viability studies, developing intervention baselines and metrics for monitoring, evaluating outputs, and iteratively refining the MEL framework as needed to adapt to realities on the ground. The TSP should support the independent evaluation team by providing such information and support as is needed to effectively carry out the performance evaluation objectives.
