Tenders are invited for Recruitment of the Final Evaluation of the Project. Closing Date: 15 Mar 2025 Type: Consultancy INTRODUCTION The project under evaluation was implemented by the Jóvenes y Desarrollo Foundation (hereafter JyD) and the local partners in Haiti: the Rinaldi Foundation and the Salesians of Haiti. The Jóvenes y Desarrollo Foundation (hereinafter JYD) is a Salesian non-governmental non-profit organization, committed to the field of education and development of the most vulnerable populations throughout the world. Its action is focused on the promotion and development of children and young people, giving effect to their right to education, with particular attention to technical training. The Rinaldi Foundation (hereafter EN) is the Planning and Development Office of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Haiti. The Salesians of Don Bosco have been present in Haiti since 1936 and since then have been offering education, vocational training, programs and institutional care to children and young people. The local partner has been active in Haiti for more than 70 years. The purpose is the final evaluation of the Convention Promoting inclusive and quality technical secondary education that fosters professional integration and the exercise of global citizenship (Haiti), with the file number 2021/PRYC/000673. The project began on April 20, 2022 and will end on April 19, 2025. The proposal presented here aims to promote technical and civic education in Haitis public education system, and more specifically the improvement of the quality of secondary education, with an emphasis on technical and civic education, and by developing the skills of young people for their socio-professional integration; Within the framework of this project, JYD, in collaboration with the local partner, has made considerable efforts to monitor its development. However, internally, organizations do not have an evaluation unit, so it is important to conduct a participatory final evaluation with an external evaluator. The final evaluation of the project is motivated by the interest of reflecting on the most relevant aspects of the intervention, and of engaging in learning processes to draw useful conclusions to improve the methodology of future interventions and the effectiveness of aid, while generating reflections and dynamics of change in the different processes to be undertaken. The overall objectives of the evaluation are to verify the quality of the intervention, assess the degree to which the results have been achieved, make recommendations for improvement and generate learnings to contribute to future actions. Specifically, these are: Evaluate the design and delivery of the intervention. Consistency between activities, expected results and the achievement of objectives. Assess whether the expected results have been achieved with the activities carried out, analyzing the reasons for the results not achieved and promoting proposals for improvement for future interventions. Propose monitoring and evaluation systems for interventions that are similar in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. Identify good practices during the implementation of the project. Draw conclusions and recommendations to improve the quality of future interventions. With regard to the usefulness of this evaluation, it is expected that recommendations will be made on the key elements of implementation, which will be used by the managing entities and their local partners: Use the findings and recommendations of the evaluation to improve the formulation, implementation and monitoring of future cooperation projects. Improving educational interventions and support for the professional integration of students in educational centres BACKGROUND As mentioned earlier, the project that is the subject of the final evaluation is entitled: Promoting inclusive and quality technical secondary education that promotes professional integration and the exercise of global citizenship in Haiti. The implementation of the project was approved to start on 20 April 2022, with an initial duration of two years, until 19 April 2024. However, a one-year extension has been communicated to the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), thus extending the implementation period until 19 April 2025. The total budget of the project amounts to 544,001, of which 519,500 comes from the contribution of the AECID. This project, subsidized by AECID, plays a significant role in the education sector in Haiti and contributes to guaranteeing the right to education. Its impact is reflected in the following results: Result 1: Increase in educational provision through the establishment of a technological specialization. Result 2: Improved quality of secondary education through the adoption of the competency-based approach methodology and the integration of education for development and citizenship. Result 3: Strengthened management and organisation of schools, including the competency-based approach. Result 4: Promoting the employability of young people, especially girls.
