DFID 8031 Monitoring Evaluation & Learning unit (MEL) Nepal - Contract

DFID is seeking a supplier to act as a MEL unit in support of

implementation of DFID Nepal's resilience portfolio.

Firstly, the MEL unit will be responsible for supporting DFID Nepal to track progress and performance against the Theory of Change and logframe for the two programmes. This will enable DFID Nepal to effectively monitor activity across a wide range of different partners, supporting continuous improvement and adapt programme management.

Secondly, the MEL unit will help to generate and share knowledge on disaster resilience and climate smart development in Nepal to a range of audiences, including government stakeholders, development partners, and DFID. It will generate evidence through programme evaluations of selected parts of the portfolio and will also conduct discrete operational research studies. This will support DFID Nepal and wider stakeholders to understand "what works", for who, how and why, and help deepen the portfolio's insight into the Nepal context. Linked to this the MEL Unit will have a proactive role in sharing evidence from the DFID resilience portfolio, as well as from programmes implemented by others in Nepal, in order to support multi-stakeholder learning.
