Ipas Evaluation Terms of Reference
- This RFP was uploaded by the owner.
The main purpose of the evaluation is:
To understand how Ipas is performing against the current strategic plan. In addition, the evaluation is intended as a learning opportunity for Ipas, Sida, NMOFA, and Norad. It is expected to yield concrete recommendations for improvement for Ipas. Ipas values independence in evaluation efforts. In research involving the stigmatised and politicised topic of abortion, exposing the identity of individuals can result in harassment and violence. It is critical that evaluators are aware of and sensitive to minimizing risks including informed consent processes and potential participant identification. This evaluation is expected to inform improvements to organizational functioning and strategic plan achievement; therefore, Ipas seeks an evaluator that can work as a learning partner to make sure the approach and findings are relevant and are applied within the organization.
Scope of Work:
The evaluation will assess the relevance, effectiveness, measurement framework, and partnership approaches, of Ipas's global, regional, and country-level strategies and activities, across all five Outputs of Ipas's strategic plan.
