Independent Progress Review Restless Development

Consultant - Independent Progress Review

Restless Development is seeking a talented individual or team to carry out an Independent Progress Review (IPR) of its PPA funding globally and in selected programmes. This role will largely be based in the UK but with some travel to field locations.

Since April 1, 2011, the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) has provided Programme Partnership Arrangement (PPA) funding for Restless Development as the lead partner of a consortium that is implementing projects in over 60 countries. The consortium partners are War Child UK and Youth Business International. Activities supported by DFID in these countries are focused around youth livelihood development, adolescent sexual and reproductive health, youth civic participation, and - in conflict-affected countries - child protection.

To assess consortium performance at the mid-term point of the programme term (2011 – 2013), Restless Development will commission an Independent Progress Review (IPR) of this grant and submit a report of findings to DFID by mid-October 2012. To that end, Restless Development would like to invite applications from a coordinating consultant or group, to assess the consortium’s work at the global level, alongside a small number of more in-depth country level reviews.
