Final Evaluation Consultancy

Action Against Hunger is seeking an evaluation consultant, or consultants, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the project to determine whether it has strengthened the ongoing Community-led Local Development (CLLD) approach to rural development in the region and support to Local Acton Groups (LAGs) in Akhmeta, Zugdidi, Gali and Tkvarcheli to better apply inclusive approaches in development planning and decision-making. Also, the evaluation will determine if the community representatives working within these Local Action Groups have been capacitated to increase the engagement of women, youth and the most vulnerable in development planning and decision-making processes and have provided new local opportunities in the three development priority areas. Finally, the evaluation will assess if the project has broadened the LAGs networking potential – regionally within the Eastern Partnership (Armenia and Moldova) for the Georgian LAGs, and within Abkhazia for the Abkhazian LAGs. The main objective of the evaluation is to assess and report to Action Against Hunger and the Austrian Development Agency the extent to which the project outputs have been delivered and the desired outcomes have been achieved. The evaluation will be used for both accountability and learning purposes to assess whether the actions of the project have had the intended impact and as well as to identify lessons learned and good practices to inform future project design and implementation.
