Evaluation of MGD FFE (NDOKK) Project in The Gambia 95 views0 applications


CRS Gambia is seeking an individual consultant or a research consulting firm to lead its external performance evaluation process for baseline (2023), midterm (2025), and final (2027) evaluations to measure progress towards meeting its objectives that relate to literacy, health and hygiene behaviors as outlined in the Results Framework (Annex A) and detailed in the Theory of Change (in the above section). As part of the midterm evaluation and endline evaluation special study will be commissioned. The special study will focus on (1)) what are the endogenous, socio-cultural, and environmental factors associated with malnutrition in school-aged children in The Gambia? The midterm and final evaluation contracts will be dependent on the satisfactory completion of the baseline assessment. The midterm and final evaluations will be re-requisitioned if the baseline is not deemed to have been completed in a manner that CRS or donor consider satisfactory. The methodology and sampling detailed below may require revision by the consulting entity based on the results of the baseline and recommendations from the consultant.

The purpose of the baseline study is to establish a reference point and identify any underlying factors impacting literacy, nutrition, and health of school-aged children, and to establish questions to test the project’s theory of change. Baseline values will be collected for all indicators with non-zero baseline values through a randomized sample of schools across all targeted regions. The results obtained from this evaluation will serve as a basis for comparison with the midterm and final evaluations. This baseline data will also be used to adjust the project’s intervention logic against the context if necessary.
CRS will establish indicator baseline values and confirm targets for regular performance measurement and reporting within the project’s first seven months. (See list of performance indicators in Attachment D.) The data collection techniques and methodologies for establishing baseline information include: 1) survey questionnaires, direct observations and EGRA; 2) school profiles completed as part of an initial assessment of all target schools; 3) direct classroom observation using tool developed by CRS; and 4) qualitative focus group discussions and key informant interviews to triangulate and contextualize quantitative data. The external evaluator will be responsible for the survey questionnaires, direct observations, EGRA, and quantitative data collection at baseline.

  1. Cover letter
  2. Compensation rate per day
  3. Resume/ CV

Catholic Relief Services was founded in 1943 by the Catholic Bishops of the United States to serve World War II survivors in Europe. Since then, we have expanded in size to reach more than 100 million people in 101 countries on five continents.

Our mission is to assist impoverished and disadvantaged people overseas, working in the spirit of Catholic social teaching to promote the sacredness of human life and the dignity of the human person. Although our mission is rooted in the Catholic faith, our operations serve people based solely on need, regardless of their race, religion or ethnicity. Within the United States, CRS engages Catholics to live their faith in solidarity with the poor and suffering people of the world.

CRS is motivated by the example of Jesus Christ to ease suffering, provide development assistance, and foster charity and justice. We are committed to a set of Guiding Principles and hold ourselves accountable to each other for them.

Watch what happens when little miracles touch the lives of the most vulnerable people around the world. Witness the lifesaving help and hope provided by Catholic Relief Services. Take a look at just how far your heart can reach.

As the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States, CRS is governed by a board of directors comprising clergy, most of them bishops elected by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, as well as religious and Catholic lay men and women.

CRS maintains strict standards of efficiency, accountability and transparency: 93% of our expenditures go directly to programs.

CRS' commitment to Catholic teaching

Catholic Relief Services is a manifestation of love for our brothers and sisters around the globe by the Catholic community of the United States. We protect, defend and advance human life around the world by directly meeting basic needs and advocating solutions to injustice. CRS is a pro-life organization dedicated to preserving the sacredness and dignity of human life from conception to natural death. Every aspect of our work is to help life flourish. We are resolute in our commitment to the Church and its teaching.

As a part of the Universal Church, we work with local Catholic institutions around the world. As a Catholic agency that provides assistance to people in need in 101 countries without regard to race, religion or nationality, we also participate in humanitarian initiatives undertaken by a range of groups, including governments, other faith communities and secular institutions. Although some positions and practices of these institutions are not always consistent with the full range of Catholic teaching, CRS' work with these institutions always focuses only on activities that are fully consistent with Catholic teachings.

CRS employs Catholics as well as non-Catholics. Membership in professional associations enables our staff to obtain information and technological advances that best prepare us to serve those in our care—and we do so in full accordance with Catholic teachings. Our staff members also belong to coalitions that extend the reach of services to poor people who often live in remote areas where CRS does not operate. These coalitions give CRS a platform to present effective methods and procedures that demonstrate the efficacy of Catholic approaches to health and family planning. These are our opportunities to make space in the public sphere for the Catholic viewpoint and to witness to our faith.
