Evaluation Consultant Announcement (Multi-Agency Evaluation):
Evaluation of multi-agency post-Giri livelihoods recovery interventions in Rakhine State Description & Purpose: In response to a DFID call to agencies in Giri-affected townships, five international NGOs—International Rescue Committee, Mercy Corps, Oxfam, Save the Children and Solidarities—in partnership with local organisations were successful in securing funding to support immediate livelihoods recovery using a range of intervention strategies across four townships (Kyauk Phyu, Minbya, Myebon, Pauktaw), implemented from mid February through November/December 2011. The purpose of this joint end of project evaluation is to maximize opportunities to assess the effectiveness and impact of interventions implemented on a multi-agency basis designed to initiate the restoration of small-holder livelihoods in 4 Giri-affected Townships in Rakhine State.
