Women Gaining Ground Consortium

External End Evaluation (ETE)- Call for Proposals

The Women Gaining Ground (WGG) consortium is seeking the services of a research company, consultancy, collective, or a team of research consultants with expertise in Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) to conduct a multi-country External End Evaluation (ETE) to fulfill the reporting requirements of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Power of Women grant instrument. The purpose of the ETE is for WGG partners to learn more about the context of the consortium’s work in the timeframe 2021-2025 through an analysis of change, shifts, and transformation that has taken place, to validate and/ or challenge our theory of change, and reflect on progress, impact, and learning, as well as evidence for planning future work and sustainability, at the closing of this program.

The Women Gaining Ground (WGG) is a Global South-led consortium of three organizations with deep experience in feminist leadership, movement-building, advocacy, and working with marginalized groups: CREA, Akili Dada; and International Women’s Rights Action Watch Asia Pacific (IWRAW Asia Pacific). The WGG is collaborating in a five-year program (2021-2025) and works with strategic partners in five priority countries: India, Bangladesh, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.

WGG builds the capacity and transformative leadership of young women and girls and women with disabilities (WWDs) through the creation of cross-movement alliances between new women leaders and diverse women’s rights movements to develop a shared vision and common agenda.

Through the External End Evaluation, the WGG intends to deepen our learning and understanding of what approaches and strategies have been effective in creating change and transformation, what change and transformation has taken place, to understand the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the program implemented by the WGG consortium and how it has supported and brought about change through feminist movement building.

We are looking for skilled feminist evaluation consultants and researchers who are deeply committed to and have experience working with anti-colonial, participatory, and feminist research methodologies and programme evaluations of cross-regional initiatives. We particularly welcome applications from individuals and teams with experience working in or with feminist and disability rights social movements, especially individuals or teams located in the Global South and/or East, and/or lived experience of injustice or other forms of systemic oppression (including but not limited to sexism, racism, homo-antagonism, trans-antagonism, classism and ableism – and their intersections).
