The purpose of this evaluation is to generate learning and support decision-making on the effectiveness and coherence of the SN10 Project’s design and delivery mechanisms, with attention to GGGI’s broader goals on climate resilience, green employment, and inclusive development. The evaluation has three main objectives:
Responsibilities:
Assess the coherence of the project’s design and results framework, focusing on how clearly the causal pathways and underlying assumptions between activities, outputs, and outcomes were articulated and understood.
The evaluation should also examine whether the framework provided a sound basis for measuring progress toward key intended outcomes, including resilience, financial access, and green jobs.
Evaluate the effectiveness and coordination of the consortium delivery model, focusing on the roles and contributions of implementing partners, internal coordination structures, and adaptive management practices, especially in light of staff turnover and evolving delivery challenges.
Assess the efficiency and clarity of reporting and communication protocols among consortium partners, with particular attention to how these mechanisms supported donor accountability and responsiveness in a complex, politically sensitive environment with multiple funding streams and stakeholders.
The evaluation should examine how internal reporting was structured, what types of information and updates were shared, and how effectively these processes facilitated coordination and accountability.
Requirements:
Master’s degree with relevant experience in conducting similar evaluations or advisory services for bilateral and multilateral development partners, including in the areas of climate-smart agriculture, rural development, and/or green employment in West Africa.
