Tenders Are Invited For End-Of-Project Evaluation Of Climate Justice For The Amazon People

Tenders are invited for End-Of-Project Evaluation of Climate Justice for the Amazon People in Brazil Closing Date: 9 Jan 2026 Type: Consultancy horizont3000 is seeking external evaluator(s) for the end-of-project evaluation of the "Climate Justice for the Amazon People - Dam-affected people in defence of their rights, livelihoods and access to sustainable energy" is financed by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Agriculture and Forestry, Climate and Environmental Protection, Regions and Water Management (BMLUK), DKA-Austria and Sei So Frei Salzburg, and implemented by Austrian NGO horizont3000 together with partner organisations Associação de Defesa dos direitos das populações atingidas e soberania energética (ADPASE) and the Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens MAB in the Brazilian states of Rondônia and Pará. The project runs from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2026. The project is set in the Amazon regions of Brazil (Rondônia and Pará), which are facing accelerating climate change impacts, such as severe droughts and floods, compounded by the historical effects of large-scale infrastructure projects, notably the construction of hydroelectric dams. These projects lead to the violation of human rights, the degradation of ecosystems, and the erosion of traditional livelihoods for affected communities. The projects objective is to contribute to the adaptive capacity of dam-affected communities and to the prevention of ecosystem destruction by defending their (land) rights and advocating for climate justice and a fair energy transition. The expected outcome is the strengthening of climate literacy, coordination, and organizational capacity among groups of dam-affected people. This is achieved through actions like training, advocacy on municipal, state, and federal levels, reforestation efforts ("Planting Lives Campaign"), and support for sustainable productive activities. The evaluation will serve multiple purposes: Accountability and reporting: The evaluation will support transparent reporting to the funding partner (BMLUK), and other stakeholders. It will verify whether project resources were used as intended and its objectives were achieved. Learning: The evaluation will provide evidence on what has worked well and what could have been improved, to support actionable learning among the implementing partner organisations, horizont3000 as well as the funder. Project development and strategic planning: The findings, lessons learned and recommendations shall inform strategic decisions of the implementing organisations and will be used for planning of future advocacy and climate resilience projects. Specific Objectives: The evaluation will examine the success and quality of the project implementation on the basis of the OECD-DAC criteria, more specifically: 1) The evaluation is expected to generate insights on the internal coherence of the intervention, especially as to what extent the project activities complement each other; 2) The effectiveness of the project, evidence for the success of the project that can be reported to the stakeholders, and conclusions on how to improve the design and implementation of similar projects, or potential scaling up of the project in the future; 3) An assessment of the sustainability of the project, taking into account, among other factors, the cross-cutting area of gender equality Please refer to the full Terms of Reference here (available in English and Portuguese): https://horizont3000.org/en/jobs How to apply A technical and financial offer must be submitted (max. 12 pages - without annexes) in Portuguese.
