Oxfam GB, as the ACCRA lead, is looking for an evaluation team capable of providing a rigorous, credible, independent evaluation of the ACCRA’s work. The evaluation should also inform ACCRA’s phase 2, which is currently under design and will run from November 2011 to October 2014. The evaluation will be carried out in September 2011, and be finalised by the end of October 2010. ACCRA will be looking for evaluation partners in the longer term over our second phase, so this is an opportunity for the right team to work with us to develop and improve our programme.
