Please note that the deadline is based on Korean Standard Time Zone (KST, UTC+9)
INTRODUCTION TO GGGI
The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.
Project Background
The Climate Smart Agriculture and Sustainable Value Chains in Senegal (SN10) Project aims to enhance climate resilience, food security, and green employment for rural populations in the Senegal River Valley. It does so by promoting climate-smart agriculture (CSA), increasing access to agricultural and financial services, and supporting the creation and growth of green enterprisesโparticularly those led by youth and women.
The evaluation will consider the projectโs relevance in the context of Senegalโs national priorities for agricultural transformation, inclusive rural development, and climate adaptation, as reflected in frameworks such as Senegalโs national development policy document, โSenegal 2050โ , the National Agricultural Investment Plan, and the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan. It will also consider GGGIโs Global Strategy 2030 (or the new strategy depending on the date the evaluation starts), as well as the development cooperation priorities of MAFRA and KOICA in food security, livelihoods, and digital innovation in agriculture.
Objectives of the Assignment
To achieve the project objectives, GGGI is looking for an Individual Consultant to deliver the end-of-project evaluation of the project \"Climate Smart Agriculture and Sustainable Value Chains in Senegal\" (hereinafter the Project).
The purpose of this evaluation is to generate learning and support decision-making on the effectiveness and coherence of the SN10 Projectโs design and delivery mechanisms, with attention to GGGIโs broader goals on climate resilience, green employment, and inclusive development. The evaluation has three main objectives:
Assess the coherence of the projectโs design and results framework, focusing on how clearly the causal pathways and underlying assumptions between activities, outputs, and outcomes were articulated and understood. The evaluation should also examine whether the framework provided a sound basis for measuring progress toward key intended outcomes, including resilience, financial access, and green jobs. Evaluate the effectiveness and coordination of the consortium delivery model, focusing on the roles and contributions of implementing partners, internal coordination structures, and adaptive management practices, especially in light of staff turnover and evolving delivery challenges. Assess the efficiency and clarity of reporting and communication protocols among consortium partners, with particular attention to how these mechanisms supported donor accountability and responsiveness in a complex, politically sensitive environment with multiple funding streams and stakeholders. The evaluation should examine how internal reporting was structured, what types of information and updates were shared, and how effectively these processes facilitated coordination and accountability.The evaluation will examine intended results and explore, where relevant, any unintended outcomes that may emerge. While not a primary focus of the evaluation, such outcomes will be documented if they arise during data collection, with particular attention to gender equality and social inclusion (GESI). The evaluation will also consider whether the interventionโs design and delivery were gender-responsive, and whether any differential outcomesโpositive or negativeโwere experienced by women, youth, or marginalized groups.
Deliverables and Payment Schedule
The expected deliveries from the Individual Consultant and the associated payment schedule are summarized in the table below. All deliverables must be in English, in accordance with GGGIโs formatting requirements, and submitted in electronic formats along with background documents and interview notes. Should any deliverables be produced in French to facilitate stakeholder engagement in Senegal, the Consultant is responsible for ensuring that the final version is submitted in English. French-language versions may be shared for validation purposes, but do not replace the requirement for English deliverables.
