ASA-WISHH CAST Cambodia Mid-Term Evaluation RFP
- This RFP was uploaded by the owner.
The purpose of this RFP is to solicit applications from companies and/or individuals to conduct a Midterm Evaluation (MTE) for ASA/WISHH's CAST project in Cambodia. CAST is a five-year USDA-funded project that was awarded in September 2018. The MTE will provide CAST with meaningful feedback about what progress has been made towards reaching performance indicator targets. Additionally, this exercise should assess the relevance of the intervention, provide some insight about the effectiveness of the project, document lessons learned, assess sustainability, and discuss and recommend course corrections. The external evaluator conducting this evaluation should highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the project and make justifiable recommendations for next steps. A data quality assessment (DQA) will also be conducted at this time to evaluate key M&E functional areas (e.g., data entry protocols, indicator definitions, reporting tools) and provide the project with a better sense of where improvements could be made (e.g., filing practices, reporting timelines, data verification).
The MTE team will be comprised of the lead consultant and his/her assistants, and shall work in cooperation with USDA's Monitoring and Evaluation Staff (MES) in Washington, D.C., ASA/WISHH's Director of M&E based in St. Louis, Missouri, CAST's Chief of Party and Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) Manager based in Cambodia, and CAST's implementing partners in Cambodia (i.e., World Vision, KSU/CE SAIN, Auburn University).
The Period of Performance of this contract is expected to fall between January and June 2021. The anticipated award date for this contract is January 4th, 2021. The final report should be submitted to ASA/WISHH on or before June 28th, 2020.
