Position Summary: MSI is seeking two consultants, one of whom will act as Team Leader, to assess the effectiveness of USAID’s BRIDGE/Winrock program since 2009 with evaluation questions focusing on project design, implementation, and impact to date. This will be a formative mid-term evaluation, one-half the way through the three-year project. Its principle purpose will be to provide information to help the Implementing Partners and USAID modify implementation to improve potential impact and review project design and assumptions to determine if they remain valid. Two sets of design issues in this regard are (1) the approach to increasing government capacity, given realities on the ground; and (2) the consortium approach and the integrated nature of the program. BRIDGE/Winrock utilizes a multi-partner consortium structure to implementing an integrated program in the states of Northern Bahr el Ghazal (NBG), Unity and Warrap (the BRIDGE/Winrock Target Region). Projected level of effort for the Team Leader and Evaluation Team Member is 34 and 31 days respectively, starting in early August and continuing through the month and possibly into early September.
Responsibilities:
This is a short-term position starting in early August and continuing through to the end of August or early September. Only candidates who have been selected for an interview will be contacted. No phone calls, please.
