Programme Background:
Transparency International Defence and Security is looking for an external evaluator to assess our project funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs “Protecting human security by tackling the vicious cycle of corruption, instability and conflict” (the Programme). The project began in October 2021 and will conclude end of January 2025. We expect the evaluation to be commence in early Aug and conclude with the final report published at the end of September.
Purpose
The purpose of the evaluation is to:
Ascertain results (output, outcome, impact) and assess the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance and sustainability of the programme.
Identify lessons on what has worked and provide recommendations for future programme design and implementation.
Scope
The scope of the evaluation includes activities implemented under the current iteration of the Programme (October 2021 to date). Lessons from the previous iteration as well as other evaluations and reviews should also be considered.
Timeline
August 1 2024 - Start of the evaluation
13 September 2024 - submission of Draft Evaluation Report
30 September 2024 - submission of Final Evaluation Report
Methodology
Type of evaluation: Outcome Evaluation
Evaluation methodology:
Quasi-experimental: before-and-after comparisons in key countries and institutions via case studies. Five case studies are foreseen: Nigeria, Niger, Mali, Tunisia, and EU.
Outcome mapping: analysing changes in behaviour, relationships, activities or actions of people, groups and entities of boundary partners.
Furthermore, the evaluation will be informed by the below methodologies:
UK’S ESRC/DfID guidance on defining research impact to assess the following types of outcomes and preliminary impact from TI-DS’s research.The Centre for Evaluation Innovation’s Advocacy Strategy Framework will inform the analysis of outcomes and preliminary impact of TI-DS’ advocacy efforts.
Evaluation Questions
The following evaluation questions, drafted in line with the OECD DAC criteria, will be at the centre of the evaluation. They may be reviewed during the evaluation’s inception stage.
Relevance: To what extent did the project’s support of TI chapters and civil society align to global, regional, and national priorities?
Coherence: To what extent were the project’s interventions coherent across local, national, and international levels? Was TI-DS able to use internal interlinkages to bring about synergies?
Effectiveness/Impact: To what extent is the project expected to achieve its outcome and impact-level objectives? If so, how is this being achieved, and what are the key obstacles?
Effectiveness: Have unintended outcomes (positive or negative) from TI-DS’ interventions been identified?
Efficiency: To what extent did the project’s learning systems facilitate more effective and efficient programme implementation? This should include the lessons from previous programme iterations (e.g. GDI 2020 review).
Efficiency/Value for Money: To what extent were resources appropriately used during implementation?
Sustainability: To what extent are international, regional, and national positive effects likely to continue, should budget support not be extended?
A number of back up questions are suggested, should any of the primary questions be removed:
Relevance: To what extent did the programme successfully adapt to changing global, regional, and national contexts during implementation?
Coherence: To what extent were the programme’s interventions consistent with international norms and standards on human rights, gender, and the environment?
Coherence: Were the programme’s set of interventions coherent with those of other TI chapters and actors in the sector?
Coherence: Was TI-DS able to minimise internal gaps and overlaps?
