| Introduction :
Dear Candidate,
The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is undertaking an Evaluation of UNDP support to private sector development and structural transformation. The Evaluation will maintain a two-fold accountability and learning goal. It will provide UNDP Management, its Executive Board, and other stakeholders with an assessment of results achieved, while reflecting on good practices and lessons learnt to enhance UNDP’s continued engagement in this area. The evaluation will be presented to the Annual Session of the UNDP Executive Board in June 2024, and it will focus on the period 2016-2022.
The evaluation will examine the relevance, coherence, effectiveness and sustainability of UNDP support to private sector development and transformation at different levels: macro (analyses and policy/regulatory framework), meso (institutional development, value chain, and trade), and downstream (asset provision, skills development, and access to finance). The evaluation will pay dedicated attention to MSMEs operating in the agri-business, manufacturing, and retail sectors, which employ the largest number of individuals in developing countries.
IEO is hiring global Evaluation Consultant/Experts in Private Sector Development and Structural Transformation to assess UNDP results and factors affecting performance. Depending on the pool of available candidates, the consultants will be assigned either a sub-thematic or regional area to cover, as part of the larger team.
Please find the Terms of Reference in the documents part of the Negotiation.
Many thanks and we look forward to receiving your application
Sincerely, IEO Procurement |
