IPPF EN is looking to contract consultancy services for supporting in the drafting of the new Theory of Change (ToC) of the post-2026 Countdown 2030 Europe grant cycle. The ToC will be revised to reflect the evolving political context and the subsequent potential new strategic priorities and approaches. The new design will be informed by the former ToC as well as the findings of a recent Mid-Term Evaluation of the current project and additional evidence collected by the consortium.
Main Question
How C2030E’s Theory of Change (ToC) needs to be revised/re-drafted in order to become more fit for purpose and better guide program implementation in the future grant post-2026, taking into account the changed European and global environment, and better aligning with revised overall objectives?
Deliverables
1. New Theory of Change based on evidence, and clearly outlining causal pathways and assumptions.
Specific deliverables breakdown as follows:
- Draft Theory of Change
- Short write-up of 3 consultation sessions
- Final Theory of Change with explanatory narrative and assumptions
- Accompanying PowerPoint for sharing with stakeholders
2. Recommendations/pointers on how to design the M&E plan and system so that during new implementation cycle C2030E can more easily and reliably: a) monitor the progress towards outcomes, the validation of causal links, the assumptions and impact of external context/factors on the overall project; b) adjust the ToC and project intervention design based on M&E findings.
Interested Consultant(s) should submit their technical and financial proposals at ccosentino[at]ippf.org, no later than 6th May 2025 EOB. Please see more information in the Terms of Reference.
