Background to AWESOME
In January 2021 we began a 5-year, €10 million advocacy programme called AWESOME to support women’s movements in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda to be strengthened, less fragmented and more representative of diverse groups of women, including women with disabilities (WWDs).

Scope of evaluation

The evaluation should involve a review/reconstruction of our ToC, a mapping of the funding (an overview of what the AWESOME budget was spent on and key activities), and address the suggested evaluation questions outline below (in Section 6).

The evaluation should cover the entire AWESOME programme, ToC and €10 million budget. The experiences of all six partners should be given equal focus, covering activities in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and international advocacy. The geographic focus areas of each partner are outlined above in Section 2. A sampling of the activities and geographic scope of each partner will be required to make the evaluation feasible. The consultant should propose a sampling strategy and size for this as part of the inception plan.

The evaluation (and final evaluation report) should report on both partnership-wide insights that cut across multiple countries, and also country- and partner-specific indicator results, learnings and recommendations.

Selection criteria

  1. Team profile: We are looking for a team of at least 3 consultants, who together bring deep understanding of the context and women’s movements in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. 
  2. Evaluation experience: The successful team will have experience of conducting multi-country evaluations, including planning approaches, carrying out interviews, analysing evidence to draw out conclusions, working with stakeholders to validate the conclusions, and synthesizing the findings into useful final reports.
  3. Qualitative, participatory approaches: The successful team will have experience using feminist, participatory approaches that centre women’s voices and experiences. 
  4. Thematic and contextual understanding: The successful team will have deep understanding of the current context of women’s movements, disability movements, SGBV and women’s participation and leadership in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and in regional policy spaces. Context is critical to understanding AWESOME’s approaches and impact, so we are seeking a team that deeply understands their contexts and can help us to situate our learning in the context.
  5. Communication and facilitation skills: Strong oral and written language skills within the consultancy team (which may require factoring interpreter/translation costs into budgets) including Amharic, Oromifa, Swahili and English. The consultant will produce final reports in accessible English. The final reports should have limited jargon and aim to influence, inspire and educate a wide range of stakeholders, including women’s rights organisations, government officials, and donors.
  6. Independence of evaluators: The evaluation team must be fully independent and cannot have been involved in the design or implementation of AWESOME, with any of the AWESOME partners or the MFA.
