Data collection missions might be envisioned during the different assignments.

Duties and Responsibilities

Under the overall oversight of the Regional Evaluation Specialist, the Evaluation consultant will contribute to the following phases of evaluations:

Evaluation Planning stage:

  • Reviewing all relevant documents (i.e. Strategic notes, project documents, donor and/or other monitoring reports, evaluation and audit reports, etc.) to identify efforts relevant to the evaluation topic.
  • Providing support to the portfolio analysis to provide an overview of the different efforts undertaken by the CO/RO for the thematic areas.

Evaluation Inception phase:

  • Support the Human rights-based stakeholder analysis from a thematic perspective.
  • Contribute to the development of an inclusive Evaluation methodology which is tailored to relevant inquiry in the thematic area (including through the evaluation matrix, data collection tools etc.).
  • Support interviews and consultations by taking detailed notes and ensuring adherence to ethical guidelines.
  • Contribute to evaluation analysis by capturing results, challenges, gaps and learning pertinent to the evaluation topic.

Reporting phase:

  • Provide substantive inputs to the final synthesis report.
  • Potential support to case study through inputs on the thematic areas.

Tasks and deliverables

Deliverables for the evaluation consultant include the following: desk review, portfolio analysis, stakeholder analysis, interview notes, qualitative and quantitative data analyses, contributions to the inception report, presentations and final synthesis reports and annexes for evaluations. These deliverables must be high quality and in line with the GERAAS criteria established by UN Women.

Supervision

The consultants will be directly supervised by the Regional Evaluation Specialist for Europe and Central Asia.
