BACKGROUND

Seva Foundation (“Seva”) is a global nonprofit eye care organization that transforms lives and strengthens communities by restoring sight and preventing blindness. We train local eye care providers and develop self-sustaining eye programs around the world. Together we provide critical eye care to underserved communities, especially women, children, and indigenous peoples. Seva has helped 5 million blind people regain their sight in more than 20 countries.

Seva has been working in Cambodia since 1999 and currently supports eye units in provincial-level government hospitals to provide quality, affordable, and accessible eye care services to communities in five provinces - Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampot, Pursat, and Siem Reap. Seva also employs 10 community field workers who travel to rural communities across these five provinces to screen patients and refer those that need further treatment or diagnostics to the nearest eye unit.

In 2016, Seva Cambodia was awarded the first Seeing is Believing (SiB) grant in Cambodia for a three-year project to expand access to eye care services in these five provinces. SiB is Standard Chartered Bank-s global community investment program to tackle avoidable blindness. As part of the final report to SiB, Seva needs to complete a final project evaluation.

Seva seeks a professional with development and public health understanding to work with the Seva Cambodia staff based in Battambang, Cambodia to complete an evaluation of Seva Cambodia-s SiB project and write a report on the findings.

There are five main components to the project:

Draft evaluation protocol after establishing a strong understanding of the context and project
Refine evaluation tools in consultation with Seva Cambodia team
Conduct an on-site evaluation of the SiB project
Review findings with Seva Cambodia team
Based on the findings from above, compile an evaluation report, including a summary of key findings/learnings and recommendations on how findings from the project evaluation can be applied to Seva Cambodia-s future work
