United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

 

Request for Expression of Interest as a Consultant

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the leading UN organization in Reproductive Health and Population and Development, is requesting for 3 consultants for the evaluation of her 6th Country Programme (2009 – 2012) of Assistance to the Federal Government of Nigeria in the following areas:

 

1. Population and Development/Monitoring & Evaluation

2. Reproductive Health and Rights

3. Gender Equality & Women Empowerment.

 

Purpose and Scope of the Evaluation

The broader aim of the evaluation is to generate a usable evaluation report that would aid the inherent culture of accountability in the UNFPA programming processes in terms of progress made towards the attainment of the main Outcomes and Outputs of the 6th Country Program, provide relevant information and strategic recommendations that would support the Nigeria Country Office in the development of its 7th Country Programme in a timely and most effective manner. These recommendations will aim to improve the strategies, implementation mechanism, and management efficiency of the next Country program. The Evaluation exercise will cover the current lifespan of the 6lh CP from 2009 to 2012 and will holistically review and systematically analyze recorded achievements and the accompanied strategies and how all these aided the country office in delivering on the development priorities of Nigeria as expressed in the Vision 20:2020.

 

In particular, the evaluation will:

  • Assess the progress or lack thereof, towards the expected outcomes envisaged in the UNFPA programming documents. Where appropriate, the evaluation will also highlight unexpected results (positive or negative) and missed opportunities;
  •  Provide an analysis of how UNFPA has positioned itself to add value in response to national needs and changes in the national development context
  • Present key findings, draw key lessons, and provide a set of clear and forward-looking options leading to strategic and actionable recommendations for the next cycle.

 

 

Composition of the Evaluation Team and Responsibilities

UNFPA wishes to engage a three-man team of independent consultants recruited internationally/nationally and charged with the responsibility of preparing the Country Brief and/or other technical papers as may be required. The consultants will be responsible for the three core programme components of UNFPA, namely:

  • Population and Development/M&E (international),
  • Reproductive Health (National),
  • Gender Equality & Women Empowerment (National).

 

The Population & Development consultant will play the lead role and will therefore coordinate the activities of his/her co-consultants and assess the extent to which the various outputs contribute in meeting the aims of the UNFPA-supported Country Programme as they relate to the ICPD and ICPD+5 goals and the MDGs. For reasons of clarity and better understanding, the lead consultant will produce a matrix illustrating to what extent the component project outputs have contributed to meeting the outcomes of the programme components and the goal of the country programme. He/she will coordinate the inputs of co-consultants as well as coordinate the writing of the Country Report. UNFPA will identify the lead Consultant.

 

Closing Date – 28 June, 2012

 

For further details on application process, please visit http://nigeria.unfpa.org/vacancy.html  and submit your application.

 

Please note that UNFPA will respond only to those applicants in whom it has further interest. In addition, ONLY applications sent by e-mail will be accepted. Qualify women are encouraged to apply.
