With this RFP GAIN seeks an evaluation partner who will work closely with GAIN’s Knowledge Leadership team to conceptualize and eventually commission process and impact evaluations in up to 6 focus countries. We envision this role as thought partner, drawing on evidence and experience, and building on the evaluation approaches that have been utilized by GAIN previously to assess progress and impact of nutritious value chain projects.
The specific objectives to be addressed by this RFP are as follows:
- Design a proposed approach to assessing progress and impact of the programme in each of 4 (and up to 6) focus countries.
- Identify a local research / academic institution in each of the focus countries to conduct the evaluations as full intellectual partners (including local co-PI) and collaborate with these institutions throughout the evaluation lifetime.
- Identify opportunities for and lead in collaboration with GAIN peer-reviewed papers about evaluation frameworks, approaches, methods, and similar.
