Monitoring and Evaluation Support to DFAT’s Scholarship Program in the Solomon Islands
Providing ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) support to the DFAT-funded Australia Awards Scholarship Program in the Solomon Islands. This includes developing a comprehensive MEL plan to guide data collection, analysis, and reporting; preparing six-monthly progress reports to track implementation and results; and producing the Alumni Development Impact Survey (ADIS) report to assess the long-term outcomes and impact of the scholarships on individuals, institutions, and national development priorities. The work ensures evidence-based decision-making, continuous program improvement, and alignment with DFAT’s performance standards.
Duration: June 2024 to June 2027
cash feasibility study for dfat/ahp/oxfam in tonga
Conducting a comprehensive cash feasibility study to inform humanitarian and disaster response programming under the DFAT-funded Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) in partnership with Oxfam in Tonga. The study assessed market functionality, supply chain resilience, financial service provider capacity, and community preferences to determine the suitability and effectiveness of cash and voucher assistance (CVA) modalities. It also examined linkages with Tonga’s social protection systems, fiscal governance, and disaster response readiness, providing actionable recommendations to strengthen locally led, efficient, and equitable cash-based interventions in remote island contexts.
Final Independent Evaluation of the Dignity Program for Yazidi Women in Iraq
Commissioned by medica mondiale as part of BMZ-funded support, this independent evaluation assessed the outcomes, impact, and sustainability of the Dignity Program, which supports Yazidi women, displaced persons, and survivors of sexualised and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The evaluation examined the program’s multi-level feminist and trauma-sensitive approach across psychological, legal, and vocational support services. It captured the voices and lived experiences of survivors, evaluated changes in self-confidence, economic empowerment, and community integration, and identified systemic barriers to reintegration. The findings provided actionable recommendations to strengthen trauma-informed, rights-based, and locally led programming for some of the most marginalised and traumatised populations.
Assessment of Third-Party Monitoring of the ARTF–FCDO Funded Support in Afghanistan
This assessment reviewed the effectiveness, relevance, and value for money of third-party monitoring (TPM) mechanisms used to oversee the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) activities funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The study examined the extent to which TPM provided reliable, timely, and actionable data to inform decision-making, strengthen accountability, and ensure program integrity in a highly complex and insecure environment. It assessed monitoring methodologies, data verification processes, and the ability of TPM to adapt to access restrictions, political sensitivities, and shifting operational contexts. The findings offered evidence-based recommendations to enhance TPM systems, improve stakeholder confidence, and ensure the continued delivery of effective development assistance in Afghanistan.
Independent Evaluation of the THTP Program in Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
This independent evaluation examined the Transnational Health Training Program (THTP) across Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The assessment focused on how well the program advanced health professional capacity, strengthened cross-border collaboration, and integrated feminist and trauma-sensitive approaches in supporting survivors of conflict-related violence. It evaluated program relevance within each local context, alignment with national health priorities, and contributions to systemic change in service delivery for vulnerable populations. Findings provided actionable recommendations to enhance program design, ensure long-term capacity retention, and deepen the integration of gender equality and survivor-centered principles across all implementation sites.
