Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Evaluation of Capacity Development Efforts at SPC, including a Final Evaluation of Intra-Pacific Study Exchanges.

Background:

The Pacific Community (SPC) is the principal scientific and technical organisation in the Pacific region. It is an international development organisation owned and governed by its 26 country and territory members. SPC's work with and on behalf of its members focused on major Pacific issues, including management of natural resources, climate change, resilience and disaster risk management, food security, gender equality, human rights, non-communicable diseases, and education.

Purpose and objective of the Consultancy:

Capacity development is widely used across all of SPC's divisions and programmes to strengthen individual and institutional capacity and achieve specific learning goals, which in turn support SPC members achieve their development goals. Capacity development interventions at SPC can take the form of formal or informal, accredited or non-accredited training, train-the-trainer, mentoring, coaching, on the job support, leadership development, demonstration, remote support, attachment, workshop, conference, participant-driven South-South and other peer exchanges, other expert-driven technical assistance and capacity supplementation.

While reviews of capacity development approaches have taken place at the sectoral level, and within projects and divisions, there has been no SPC-wide evaluation of capacity development efforts. This consultancy comprises an SPC-wide capacity development evaluation (evaluation A), and a specific smaller-size evaluation of Intra-Pacific Study Exchanges (evaluation B) funded by the Government of New Zealand. Findings of evaluation B will feed into learning for evaluation A.

Deliverables:

Specifically, the consultancy will deliver the following:

1. A mapping of the different capacity development modalities used at SPC, including a comparative of what is done elsewhere in the region for similar stakeholders, context and needs, and comparative of what could be done more innovatively, in a more cost effective way and how

2. A review of existing MEL methodologies and tools for capacity strengthening, with recommendations for improvement and standardisation

3. Realist Context, Mechanism and Outcome (CMO) configurations outlining the relative effectiveness of selected capacity development interventions

4. Specific challenges, opportunities, lessons learned and recommendations related to the Intra-Pacific Study Exchanges, to inform the use of South-South collaboration as a capacity strengthening modality at SPC and in the Pacific

5. More general lessons learned and recommendations for current and future capacity development efforts at SPC.

Budget:

The maximum amount of budget available for this consultancy is Euro 45, 000.

Timing:

The Consultancy is scheduled to commence in May 2019 to be completed by September 2019, with 65 working days dedicated to the work throughout the period.

You are requested to submit a quotation to carry out specific tasks as outlined in the Terms of Reference (Annex I).
