- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) on or about November 8, 2012 for an anticipated five-year cost plus fixed-fee award. The award of this effort will be based on an evaluation for USAID/Colombia EVAL Project. The proposed contract is to provide USAID/Colombia with technical and advisory services for evaluation activities at the mission (operating unit) level. This includes designing and implementing both quantitative and qualitative evaluation studies and assessments as well as providing evaluation technical assistance for USAID/Colombia development programs. These efforts will facilitate informed program management decisions, shape the longer-term strategic direction of programs and decision-making within the Mission, and enable USAID/Colombia to comply with USAID's Evaluation Policy. The Contractor will provide USAID/Colombia with technical and advisory services to design and implement: 1) performance evaluations, 2) impact evaluations, 3) assessments and 4) other analysis and components of evaluations (e.g. baselines, cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness assessments). These qualitative and/or quantitative evaluations and assessments may be at the country, DO, program, project, area/component, and/or activity-level. USAID/Colombia has identified a preliminary list of evaluation studies. Planned evaluations may be modified in the future due to USAID/Colombia's senior management request, funding changes, changes in the Mission's Performance Management Plan or evaluation agenda, or USAID decisions to perform joint evaluations and assessments with other donors. USAID will confirm scheduled evaluations through the Contractor's annual workplan. While assessments and other analysis will be conducted under this contract, the majority of tasks will be evaluations. USAID/Colombia uses evaluations as part of the planning and management of development assistance. Due to these requirements and the need of this EVAL Project to conduct field surveys of beneficiaries, communities and local organizations, as well as random field verifications of the activities conducted by other USAID implementers, a close collaboration will be required between the implementers' EVAL systems and the overall USAID EVAL Project.
