IPPF EN is looking to contract consultancy services for designing and executing a mid-term evaluation of the Countdown 2030 Europe current 4-year grant cycle (July 2022 – June 2026).
Purpose & Scope of the Mid-Term Evaluation
The Results of the Mid-Term Evaluation will be used by the Consortium to learn from its past action and adjust for the future. The mid-term evaluation aims to inform future actions by assessing the impact of C2030E’s intervention so far, during the current grant cycle.
The evaluation will focus on the following key areas:
- Impact Assessment: Understand how C2030E’s intervention is positively contributing to improved policies and increased funding in the external action of 13 European countries and the EU related to SRHR/FP.
- Approach Evaluation: Assess whether C2030E’s approach, including the new/innovative areas of work within the current 4-year grant cycle, aligns with its purpose and identify areas for improvement.
- Preparation for Next Phase: Provide recommendations for enhancing impact and adapting to the shifting and dynamic national, European and international political context.
- Revision of the project’s Theory of Change: based on implementation evidence so far, identify gaps, assumptions and areas for improvement for the future.
Main Evaluation Questions
- Is C2030E delivering on its declared outcomes?
- Is C2030E’s approach well-suited to achieving its goals?
- What is the added value of the new/innovative interventions that C2030E employed in the current 4-year project cycle?
- How can C2030E better leverage these innovative interventions for advancement of the Countdown results?
- What steps should C2030E take to increase its impact in the next implementation phase?
- How can C2030E’s intervention be better attuned to the current dynamics of the national European and international political environment?
- How C2030E’s Theory of Change (ToC) needs to be revised in order to become an evidence-based ToC and better guide program implementation, monitoring and evaluation in the future?
