Mission description
Evaluation purpose and objectives
The final evaluation of the MENDAMI Projet Phase 1 is planned while the project could be extended by a second phase and Libya has just set up (November 2022) a National Authority for Blood Services.
This evaluation is a milestone of the project to ensure its accountability to the funder – the European Union and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs -, the implementing agency (Expertise France), and the beneficiaries of the project, namely the National Authority for the Regulation of Blood Services – Ministry of Health.
The main objective of this evaluation is to provide the National Authority for the Regulation of Blood Services in Libya, the Expertise France agency (field and headquarters teams), the European Union and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the general public:
- a comprehensive and independent analysis of MENDAMI's performance, paying particular attention to its results, in comparison with the objectives set;
- lessons and recommendations, so as to improve, where appropriate, current and future actions.
In particular, this evaluation will also serve to determine the extent to which the MENDAMI project has been able to contribute in the complex context of Libya, to progress in terms of health governance or institutional governance of health.
The contractor should provide evidence explaining the analyses, causal relationships and attempt to identify factors generating or hindering progress. Their work must encourage accountability, decision-making, and learning.
The evaluation will use the criteria defined by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD): coherence, relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability.
