CARE Nederland, on behalf of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS3) consortium, is seeking an experienced consultant or team of consultants to conduct the End-Term Evaluation (ETE) of its five-year program in Yemen.

The ETE will assess program relevance, effectiveness, and impact (including intended and unintended outcomes), as well as the quality of partnerships and progress toward localization.

What will you be doing?

The ETE will focus on the complete program implementation period from January 2021 through December 2025 – in both Aden and Taiz governorates.

The evaluation will primarily focus accountability and learning, providing an opportunity to identify both the intended and unintended results and impacts of the program.
