Introduction

Country:   Philippines

 

Description of the Assignment:  

The SEED Project aims to support the NEDA Investment Programming Group (IPG) in cultivating evaluation culture within the government, fostering evidence-based decision making, good governance and accountability. The project also actively contributes to the implementation of a National Evaluation Agenda.

 With support from the Australian Government, the SEED Project is designed to facilitate the following activities: (a) conducting impact evaluations of government flagship programs and projects; (b) developing evaluation training modules; (c) conducting training sessions to address evaluation capacity needs of the government; and (d) providing technical support for structured coaching and mentoring sessions with NEDA in producing evaluation knowledge products.

To strengthen the evaluative culture in government for deeper learning, decision-making, and accountability, it is crucial to apply a gender lens approach, ensuring that evaluation systems and institutions are inclusive and contextually appropriate. Failure to integrate a gender dimension in evaluation studies and systems can result in gender-blind outcomes and decision-making. If left unchecked, this may lead to an evaluation cycle design that fails to address gender equality or, worse, perpetuates gender discriminatory norms and processes.

 As mandated by Republic Act 7192, the Women in Development and Nation Building Act, NEDA is responsible for ensuring the participation of women as recipients of foreign aid, grants, and loans, and for determining and recommending the amount allocated for development activities involving women (Sections 3 and 4, RA 7192). This includes integrating women's participation in the planning, design, implementation, management, monitoring, and evaluation of the government’s development programs, consistent with RA 9710, the Magna Carta of Women (MCW), and the existing Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG).

 In line with this mandate, NEDA is seeking a GEDSI Consultant to support the NEDA IPG, specifically the NEDA Central Evaluation Unit (CEU), in strengthening its focus on gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) in support of its evaluation mandate.
