Call for Expression of Interest

Consultative Process on Impact Evaluation with FSD Trusts in Africa

FSDA wishes to identify consultants and/or a consulting firm who could manage a consultative process on impact evaluation involving the FSDs in Africa and the UK’s Department for International Development (“DFID”).
 

The consultative process should result inter alia in (1) consensus among the FSDs, DFID and other stakeholders as to how best to evaluate the impact of FSD - type interventions, (2) the design of tools and systems to allow FSDs to measure impact more effectively and (3) a concrete evaluation plan for the network.
 

FSDA seeks consultants and/or a consulting firm with demonstrable experience of a range of impact evaluation approaches both quantitative and qualitative, and a solid understanding of the mechanisms through which financial sector development contributes to economic growth and poverty reduction. 

Prior experience of working with DFID and/or other donor organisations would be an advantage.

Names, full CVs, location of key individuals and outline of team structure;ƒ ƒ
 

A short statement of why you believe you/your consortium has the right experience and blend of ƒ ƒexpertise for this assignment;
