Overview : Ethiopia has officially declared its intention to pursue a green growth development path and to seek to de-couple emissions from economic growth and structural transformation of the economy. This started with the Ethiopian Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) Strategy which identified several initiatives which will ultimately lead to GHG emission reduction and resilience building to the adverse impacts of climate change. The CRGE initiative has led to establishment of new institutions, new efforts in capacity building and financial resource mobilization, and triggered comprehensive climate risk and vulnerability analyses. A critical part of the institutional arrangements is the CRGE Facility (The Facility), the national financing mechanism that has been created to support the implementation of the CRGE. The CRGE Facility is established with the purpose of attracting, aggregating and strategically deploying resources to Implementing Entities for the achievement of the Climate Resilient Green Economy. The responsibilities and operational methods of The Facility are more fully described in the CRGE Operations Manual (The Manual).
All CRGE Facility supported programmes and their components should be monitored systematically, and evaluated during or after implementation, with appropriate reporting of the results at each stage. Cognizant of this, MOFED in collaboration with UNDP has developed a draft CRGE Facility M&E system manual, which attempts to define the various kinds of monitoring and evaluatory actions that have to be undertaken, when they have to be done and who has to do them, in order for the monitoring and evaluation system to work.
The draft manual requires further scrutiny and sign off by an experienced international institution before it is finalization and application. This Terms of Reference (TOR) describes the objectives and scope of the work to be carried out, the expected deliverables and the timeline for the consultancy. The TOR also describes the precise skills and capabilities required and the working arrangements to review and sign off the draft Monitoring and Evaluation system. |
