Monitoring and Evaluation Learning of UK Met Office's Weather and climate Information Services (WISER)

FCDO sought supplier to conduct a three-part thematic evaluation of 5 (concluded and active) FCDO programmes supporting delivery of UK Met Office's Weather and climate Information Services (WISER) across three regions (Middle East and North Africa, Africa, and Indo-Pacific). The work consists of three elements:

• Evidence & Learning summary based on the evaluative products from 2 historical

programmes. The summary will inform development of three new regional

programmes by highlighting which approaches have proved most effective in co-producing useful, relevant, and accessible weather and climate information services and in ensuring this information was actively used for evidence-based decision making. The review should also highlight the mechanism behind change happening: why and how changes occurred, particularly in Fragile and Conflict Afflicted States

(FCAS) and -where relevant- how change might have happened differently for women and girls.

• Sustainability of results from two historical programmes to assess which results have proved sustainable after programme closure and why.

• Opportunity to support additional data collection exercises for three new regional programmes supporting WISER. With possibility to seize opportunities for rapid testing of interventions to maximise value for money, demonstrating impact, and filling-in evidence gaps around the theory of change
