GIRL-H PROGRAM EVALUATION

MCK/NBO/10/2021

Brief Summary Description of Project:

Mercy Corps seeks the services of an Independent Evaluation Team/Firm to conduct a series of evaluation studies (baseline study, midline assessment, and end of project evaluation) of the Girls Improving Resilience through Livelihood and Health (GIRL-H) program. GIRL-H aims to improve well-being and increase access to education, economic and civic engagement opportunities that contribute to individual resilience, especially among adolescents and young women and men aged 10 to 24 years. The program, which commenced in October 2020, will run through September 2023, will be in Kenya, Uganda (East Africa), and Haiti (Caribbean), targeting 70,000 participants in 8 counties (Kenya 3, Uganda 3, and Haiti 2). The actual beneficiary level implementation will begin after the baseline study.

GIRL-H seeks to transform the future of over 70,000 adolescent girls, young women, and boys who are aged between 10 and 24 years old by fulfilling their potential. The program is to be implemented by Mercy Corps directly in Haiti and through local partner organizations in Kenya and Uganda.

Once engaged, the Evaluation Team/Firm will provide an independent and rigorous evaluation function by designing and implementing an evaluation framework to assess the program comprehensively. In summary, the framework should cover the following components:

1. Baseline Study in the three countries
2. Midline operational assessment (preferably adopting an implementation fidelity approach)
3. End of Project Study including an explanatory qualitative component
Against this background, bidders (evaluation firms) should submit a proposal to evaluate GIRL-H following the guidelines outlined below. The deadline for submitting bids is Thursday 8th of July 2021, 1:59 PM PST/11:59 PM EAT.
