Affiliated Network for Social Accountability in Africa (ANSA-Africa):
Terms of reference and scope of services for independent evaluation of programme, 2007-2010
IDASA invites interested parties to bid for an evaluation of ANSA-Africa. The focus of the evaluation will be at the program/partnership level, including governance, and the activity level. In-country activities will not be the primary focus of the evaluation. It is hoped that the evaluation will provide a clear view of the project’s achievements and failures and the reasons behind these. This evaluation is being commissioned by ANSA Africa as a requirement of DGF funding. The TOR has been prepared in partnership with the World Bank Institute, closely following the guidance template prepared by IEG for Program-Level Evaluations of Global and Regional Partnership Programs (GRPPs). Tenders should be submitted to Idasa by 10 September 2010. Access the TOR here.
