## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has awarded a contract for the "DFID 8241 Independent Evaluation of the E4D/SOGA - Employment and Skills for Eastern Africa Programme." This evaluation aims to assess the programme’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability, focusing on creating sustainable economic opportunities for the target population. The procurement process followed a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, and the total contract value amounts to £189,694. The contract period commenced on 17th September 2018 and concluded on 28th February 2019, with the award published on 17th January 2019.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in economic development, evaluation services, and consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well suited to compete, especially those that have experience in conducting independent evaluations in international development or related fields. Engaging and demonstrating the ability to deliver value for money in public sector contracts can significantly enhance a business's growth prospects in this industry.

## Notice

The evaluation has four main objectives, listed in order of priority: i. Relevance: To test whether the theory of change and assumptions (below) underlying the programme's approach are valid, specifically whether the focus on partnerships with the private sectors has led to increased effectiveness regarding sustainable economic opportunities for the target population. ii. Effectiveness: To assess how effective the programme has been, also in responding to changing political and economic circumstances, and whether its approach is relevant for sectors outside the extractives industries. iii. Efficiency: To suggest relevant measurements of programme efficiency and use those to assess whether the programme provides value for money (i.e. maximum impact for money invested). iv. Sustainability: To assess the potential for achieving sustainability using the E4D/SOGA approach and identify pathways to reaching scale and replication.
