Tenders are invited for Final External Evaluation of the f2i2 Programme Agreement Training, Integration & Innovation (Phase 2) Methodology: The evaluator is expected to submit a methodological proposal in addition to their financial proposal, in order to incorporate the criteria of the bid evaluation grid. This proposal must include the investigation methods, the types of tools to be used, and the resources required to answer the evaluation questions. Qualitative analysis tools will be preferred over quantitative tools: interviews, focus groups, participant observation, etc. However, the use of quantitative tools can be advantageous when justified (control groups, internal questionnaires, etc.). The target groups at the heart of the evaluation will be (non-exhaustive list): · The technical and operational teams of the projects in the intervention areas (ESSOR and partners) · Young users of FIP schemes (BFE, BIOSP+, BOE) · Young beneficiaries of the entrepreneurship program · Young people in situations of extreme vulnerability identified through the FSE · Partners supporting BFE / BIOSP+ / FIPA Site / BOE / incubators · The public and private actors involved in our actions (platforms and consultation spaces; networks, companies, training centers, etc.). · HR for external stakeholders and their partners (External Training Unit) · Internal trainers (on aspects of pedagogical identity and FH) Assessment areas There are 10 assessment zones spread across 4 different countries: Congo-Brazzaville, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and Brazil. The evaluation will need to include field missions; however, given the number of countries, it is also possible to evaluate some countries remotely with the support of local teams. Resources It will be possible to use national consultants to conduct this fieldwork, with the active support of ESSORs Country Coordinators. The required profile, the country-specific Terms of Reference (TORs), and the budget will be finalized jointly at the very beginning of the mission. If a pair of consultants is proposed, one will be designated as the lead consultant . In this case, regular and frequent contact between the lead consultant and the other consultants will be necessary (via email, Teams, etc.) to share impressions, difficulties encountered, questions, etc., in order to ensure the coherence of the work to be carried out and to create a collective dynamic around this evaluation with all the consultants. A report template, forms for each category of interview or focus group will be developed to ensure consistency in the investigative approaches, which, in addition to providing quantitative and qualitative data, will allow for precise answers to the evaluative questions. The consultant(s) will have access to the project bibliography at ESSOR headquarters and in the countries of intervention (project documents, annual reports, indicator tables, mission reports, etc.). ESSOR and its partners will be responsible for providing all available project materials, mobilizing beneficiaries and institutions, and ensuring the availability of venues necessary for the smooth running of the mission. It is also necessary to consider the possibility of limited gatherings and indicate the impact this will have on the methodology. Tentative schedule: · 23/12/25 : Deadline for submitting technical and financial proposals · 05 12/01/2026: Selection of consultant(s) · 12/01/2026 to 19/01/2026 : transfer by ESSOR of all available documentation to the evaluator · Between 12/01/2026 and 19/01/2026 : Scoping meeting with the evaluation steering committee and discussions, review and then validation of the technical proposal · January/February : missions to the countries concerned with on-site reporting for each country (flexible) · First half of March : provisional report for review by headquarters, summary included · Mid-March : discussions on the provisional report with the evaluation steering committee · Second half of March : transmission of the final report with all related documents · April 2026 : Final presentation with final report [Disclaimer: The above text is machine translated.
