The Department is looking to commission a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Partner for CEIF-related programmes.
Scope:

o Evaluation outputs will include a minimum of 2 evaluations of programmes under the CEIF umbrella, covering process and impact evaluations and value for money assessment.
o The process evaluation components will generate learning and recommendations for improvement, including management, strategy, governance and MEL.
o The impact evaluation components will assess the outcomes and impacts of delivery, test the validity of the theory of change, generate learning and recommendations for future work..
o Cross-cutting themes will include assessment of SDG co-benefits and Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), considering how co-benefits have been generated and the management processes.
o The value for money assessment will undertake analysis using the HMG 4E’s approach-Economy, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Equity.
o A third output comprises of a landscape review and analysis of other climate innovation portfolios and programmes focused on developing countries, particularly those established by other donor countries (not limited to clean energy or to UK-funded programmes) to provide lessons learned and recommendations to input into CEIF.
o Flexibility is built into the contract to allow the Department to request additional adhoc outputs relating to the above scope as needs arise over the duration of the contract.
Deliverables: There are three core deliverables comprising of two evaluation reports and one landscape review/evidence synthesis report. In addition to this we would expect an inception report to be provided during the scoping phase for each evaluation and dissemination materials such as powerpoints and concise summaries to be produced.
