It is funded through Official Development Assistance (ODA) and is part of the UK's international climate finance commitment. CEIF contributed towards the UK's Mission Innovation commitment to double spending on energy innovation in 2020/2021 and contributes towards the UK's Ayrton Fund commitment to support clean energy innovation in developing countries. It supports research, development and demonstration activities for innovative clean energy technologies for industrial decarbonisation, sustainable cooling, energy storage and smart energy in ODA-eligible countries, such as planning and implementing pilot projects, capacity building for innovators and producing analytical products. The Department is looking to commission a MEL and Research Partner for CEIF-related programmes. Scope: o The monitoring, evaluation and learning partner will be commissioned to provide three initial research outputs for CEIF and provide support with active dissemination and learning activities (including monitoring the effectiveness of those dissemination activities) and delivering additional ad-hoc research products and monitoring activities. o Evaluation outputs will include a minimum of 2 evaluations of programmes under the CEIF umbrella, covering process and impact evaluations and value for money assessment. o The process evaluation components will generate learning and recommendations for improvement, including management, strategy, governance and MEL. o The impact evaluation components will assess the outcomes and impacts of delivery, test the validity of the theory of change, generate learning and recommendations for future work.. o Cross-cutting themes will include assessment of SDG co-benefits and Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), considering how co-benefits have been generated and the management processes. o The value for money assessment will undertake analysis using the HMG 4E's approach- Economy, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Equity. o A third output comprises of a landscape review and analysis of other climate innovation portfolios and programmes focused on developing countries, particularly those established by other donor countries (not limited to clean energy or to UK-funded programmes) to provide lessons learned and recommendations to input into CEIF. o Flexibility will be built into the contract to allow the Department to request additional ad-hoc outputs relating to the above scope as needs arise over the duration of the contract. Expected deliverables: There are three core deliverables comprising of two evaluation reports and one landscape review/evidence synthesis report. In addition to this we would expect an inception report to be provided during the scoping phase for each evaluation and dissemination materials such as powerpoints and concise summaries to be produced. Delivery timeline: The first evaluation will likely be delivered in late-2024, the landscape review in late-2024 and the second evaluation in 2029. In the interim years the MEL partner may be commissioned to produce additional ad-hoc outputs and will be involved in learning elements such as lessons learned workshops and dissemination events. Geographical focus: CEIF has a global reach, spending ODA in Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Please see description above.
