Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Consultancy Services for Preparation of Basic Needs Trust Fund Ninth (BNTF9) Programme Closing Report

In keeping with CDB's Operations Manual, each of the nine PCs completed a Country Project Completion Report (CPCR) at the end of the Programme. These country-level reports are meant to capture the degree to which each of their BNTF 9 Project resources were utilised to achieve their development objectives and deliver the outputs and outcomes as set out in the respective Country Policy Framework reports for each country project.

Additionally, a single independent PCR is now required which will highlight the impact of the BNTF 9 Programme on all beneficiaries and the sustainability of such impact. The BNTF 9 PCR is the central component of the assessment of the Programme and it will assess the overall contribution of the BNTF 9 Programme encompassing the nine national initiatives and the Regional Components. The BNTF 9 PCR may also include case studies and beneficiary assessments.

CDB now wishes to procure consultancy services for the Preparation of the Basic Needs Trust Fund Ninth (BNTF9) Programme Closing Report.

Specifically, the Consultant shall:

(a) analyse and validate nine CPCRs;

(b) assess the impact of COVID-19 on the implementation and sustainability of interventions;

(c) identify and complete four case studies;

(d) undertake beneficiary assessments, including gender analyses, in four selected PCs;

(e) present an overview of the outputs and outcomes within the context of the Programme's goals, design, processes and results during implementation (both the Country Projects and Regional Components); and

(f) assess if and how any of the recommendations made in MTE of BNTF 9 Programme were taken into account in the final years of the Programme.

The objective of the consultancy is to prepare the BNTF 9 PCR comprising a consolidation of nine (9) CPCRs based on the guidance and template in Annex 1 of the Terms of Reference (TOR).

The assignment is expected to commence in the second week of September 2024 and be completed in 60 person days by December 2024.
