    About the bid

      In summary, the Services comprise: Three separate teams of qualified external consultants to complete each of the three evaluations of three Global Ireland Mission strategies: for Malawi (2021–2026), South Africa/Zimbabwe (2022–2026), and Tanzania (2022–2026). The overall purpose of the evaluations of the Mission strategies is to assess specific aspects relating to the respective Mission’s strategic activities during the respective Strategy periods. The three separate evaluations will be managed by three different Evaluation and Audit Unit project managers, and are timed to correspond with the final year of implementation of the current Mission strategies (2026). The evaluation exercises are expected to significantly inform the analysis of, discussions around, and subsequent drafting of the three successor Mission strategies expected to be approved by end-2026. In particular, the evaluations will be guided by the key evaluation questions and the evidence that reveals both the intended and unintended consequences of the respective Strategy interventions. It is expected that the findings and lessons from the evaluations will highlight learnings across the work of the respective Missions in recent years, support future Mission programming, and inform wider Departmental and global policy planning and programming.
