External Evaluation of the International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 for its 2018-2021 Strategic Plan
United Nations Educational, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) hereby invite qualified companies to submit sealed tenders as follows:
Created in 2008, upon agreement in the Oslo Declaration, the International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030, or Teacher Task Force (TTF), is a unique global independent alliance working solely on teachers and teacher issues. It is dedicated to raising awareness, expanding knowledge and supporting countries on the questions and themes raised in SDG4 with a focus on target 4.c.
The external evaluation process is conducted every four years to assess the overall performance of the Teacher Task Force. This evaluation will evaluate the implementation of the 2018-2021 Strategic Plan, and the findings will inform the development of the future 2022-2025 Strategic Plan.
The evaluation will adopt both a retrospective and forward-looking approach. It will require a combination of multiple and complementary evaluative methods and strategies in order to answer the evaluation questions and meet the evaluation purpose. It is expected that the evaluation team uses a mixed method approach and collects and analyses quantitative and qualitative data from multiple sources in order to provide information that is credible and reliable.
The evaluation assignment is estimated to require approximately 45 professional working days, within a duration of approximately fourteen weeks from mid-February to end-May 2021, including one or two potential visits to Paris Headquarters for an estimated two days each (sanitary situation permitting).
The deliverables include:
-
Inception report by 12 March 2021
-
Draft Evaluation Report by 19 April 2021
-
Final Evaluation Report by 17 May 2021
-
Presentation Summary by 28 May 2021
-
Communication Outputs by 11 June 2021
The recommended composition of the evaluation team includes two to three core members: one team leader and/or one senior evaluator and a junior level evaluator/researcher.
