Global Poverty Action Fund Pilot – Design, Implementation and Monitoring of Beneficiary Feedback Mechanisms

Contract for: Global Poverty Action Fund Pilot – Design, Implementation and Monitoring of Beneficiary Feedback Mechanisms

Purchase order number: 6076

Objectives:

1. To enhance understanding and responsiveness between beneficiaries, GPAF grant holders (including their project partners) and DFID in order to:

   • improve the appropriateness of projects in making positive change to poor people’s lives;
   • increase the adaptability of GPAF projects to unintended consequences (good or bad);

2. To provide information to DFID and the external GPAF Fund Manager on beneficiary views of the performance of GPAF projects. Beneficiary feedback should serve as a form of results verification and provide a way for stakeholders in the UK and in the relevant country to hold the grant holder accountable.

3. To contribute to the evidence base of how, and under what conditions, beneficiary feedback improves development results and the level of resources required to design and manage a BFM for meaningful impact. This will enable DFID to roll out tried and tested mechanisms across their programmes in the future and share this approach with civil society organisations and other donors.
