Consultancy for evaluation of completed projects of the Specific International Programme
vor 2 Monaten
Five terminal evaluation reports, one for each of five completed SIP projects, namely, the projects in Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Ghana, Moldova and Nigeria.
Home based
Expected duration
10 months
Duties and Responsibilities
Article 13 of the Minamata Convention on Mercury defines a mechanism for the provision of adequate, predictable and timely financial resources to support developing-country Parties and Parties with economies in transition in implementing their obligations under the Convention.
The mechanism is comprised of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) trust fund and the Specific International Programme (SIP) to support capacity-building and technical assistance.
The SIP is administered by UNEP through the Secretariat of the Minamata Convention on Mercury under the oversight of the SIP Governing Board which implements its guidance, including decision-making on projects and project management.
In decision MC-1/6, the Conference of the Parties established guidance on the operations of and duration of the SIP and establishment of its Terms of Reference and Governing Board.
Its Rules of Procedure were adopted by the Governing Board at its first meeting in 2018 and completed at its third meeting.
The SIP is mandated to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication with other existing arrangements to provide capacity-building and technical support, in particular GEF and the Special Programme to support institutional strengthening at the national level for implementation of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions, the Minamata Convention, the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management and the Global Framework on Chemicals, as well as other existing assistance frameworks, and be consistent with the integrated approach to financing the sound management of chemicals and waste.
The purpose of this consultancy is to undertake terminal evaluations of five SIP projects.Project logical frameworks and reporting provide key information from which to assess the effectiveness and impacts of individual projects and provide important information for reviewing the results of the overall programme in light of the SIP Results Framework.
In line with the UN Environment Evaluation Policy and the SIP Application Guidelines, all projects with funding from the SIP of over USD 150,000 are required to undergo a terminal evaluation.
The UN has Evaluation Norms and Standards to which contracted evaluators are bound.UNEP evaluations and reviews consider nine specific evaluation criteria:
strategic relevance; quality of project design; nature of external context; effectiveness, which comprises assessments of the provision of outputs, achievement of outcomes and likelihood of impact; financial management; efficiency; monitoring and reporting; sustainability; and factors and processes affecting project performance and cross-cutting issues.
One project from the First Round of applications and four projects from the Second Round of applications to the SIP have completed their activities and will be evaluated.
They are:
a

The terminal evaluations will use a participatory evaluation approach to consult key stakeholders and keep them informed throughout the evaluation process.
Both quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods will be used, as appropriate, to determine achievements against the expected outputs, outcomes and impacts.
The consultant will maintain close communication with the Minamata Convention Secretariat and promote information exchange with key stakeholders throughout the evaluations to increase their (and other stakeholder) ownership of the findings.
The findings of the evaluations will be based on the following:(a)

- Relevant background documentation, including legal agreements, amendments or changes thereto, and application guidelines and forms, amongst others;
- Appraisal documentation and SIP Governing Board comments on applications, if any;
- Project interim progress and financial reports;

- Project equipment inventories and audit reports;
- Supplemental materials provided by project partner to the Secretariat and/or the consultant;

- Project focal points, project correspondence focal points and Minamata Convention national focal points of each country;
- Secretariat staff;
- Relevant resource persons. (c) If the consultant considers surveys of relevant partners and/or stakeholders of each country to be useful and within the resources available for the evaluations, the consultant will submit draft survey instruments to the Secretariat for review, comment, and, if needed, revision.

Consultant may sub-contract with someone proficient in French for the work involving the single French-speaking project country in lieu of meeting the French proficiency requirement.

In addition, he/she will not have any future interests (within six months after completion of the contract) with the work of the SIP.
The consultant agrees not to disclose information from non-public applications and reports to third parties beyond information required for, and included in, the evaluations and review.
