• Objective of the Consultancy

The objective of the Consultancy is to (i) review the logical framework, (ii) collect the baseline values and (iii) develop a comprehensive and robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan for the Green Policy Dialogue Facility (GPDF), based on a clear definition of roles and responsibilities between Expertise France and the partners, in order to guide its management and implementation.

The system should allow for the collection, processing and analysis of data, and make a concrete and continuous link with learning to support operational and strategic decision-making. The M&E system should also serve accountability purposes, both upwards (donors) and downwards (beneficiaries).

• Nature of the services requested

The expected mission of the Expert will aim at designing the M&E system of the project through the following activities:

• Assess the needs, practices and capacities of the team and partners in terms of tools, collection, consolidation and analysis of information.
• Review and refine the project's logical framework (indicators, targets, sources of verification) including a completed baseline based on reliable data sources and a clear methodology.
• Propose and develop a solid M&E plan co-constructed with the project stakeholders, in line with the commitments recommended in EF’s M&E policy, detailing in particular:
  • The description of each indicator, their adequate disaggregation (including gender) and their monitoring plan (means of verification, calculation method, tools, frequency, person responsible, etc.);
  • The data flow process, from collection to use (collection, feedback, consolidation, visualization, use for steering and decision-making, reporting, etc.);
  • Data management (analysis, reporting, archiving, confidentiality, quality control, data protection in compliance with data protection and the GDPR);
  • The tools and methods of data collection, including a proposition of potential software that could be used;
  • The respective responsibilities of each partner organisation involved in the implementation of the activities;
  • Identification of reliable data sources and a clear methodology for undertaking Endline exercises.
