DFID 8481 Independent Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Unit for DFID's Investment in the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery Contract Award

Tender description

The purpose of this contract is to deliver an independent monitoring, evaluation and learning function on behalf of DFID that will implement the following four components: 1. Independent monitoring to complement and strengthen GFEMS own monitoring and learning through the provision of additional monitoring mechanisms for the two sector and / or country specific interventions. 2. Provision of targeted technical advice to GFEMS on MEL for adaptive management based on partner MEL system assessments. 3. Undertake an independent performance evaluation to assess the extent to which intended outcomes have been achieved and capture key lessons from implementing an adaptive programme designed to introduce new ways of working to tackle modern slavery. 4. Facilitate regular structured learning mechanisms between DFID and GFEMS to assess the quality of the programme's learning and adaptive processes and to create a space for changes to programme strategy as a result of evidence and learning. The MEL unit is critical to the adaptive approach envisioned under the programme. This approach involves support to systematic, planned and intentional use of emerging knowledge, learning and evidence in order to drive decisions on programme content and strategy.
