Call for Consultancy Proposals

Twaweza East Africa has entered a partnership agreement with the Equality for Growth (EfG) organization to support EfG’s documentation of success stories, conduct a comprehensive evaluation of its programs and enhance its organizational capacity including developing the next strategic plan. It is against this background that Twaweza invites interested candidates to express interest in undertaking a systematic and comprehensive assessment of EfG’s programs as explained in these terms of reference.

Context
Equality for Growth was founded in 2008 with the aim of empowering women in the informal sector. EfG was created to address the multi-faceted problems faced by women in the informal sectors, at the intersection of discrimination driven by class and gender. Since its inception, Equality for Growth has been implementing a unique model designed to promote agency among market women in Tanzania. Addressing the twin aspects of economic and political empowerment, the model provides short-term results and successes as well as the building blocks for sustainable change through citizen-driven institutional reform.

Purpose of the evaluation
The evaluation team will assess how the model has been implemented, what has worked well, what is not working, and what adaptations/improvements were made to the model. The evaluation team will also access the Equality for Growth operations performance, challenges, lessons learnt and recommend strategies. Importantly, evaluators are expected to provide detailed explanations of the processes and outcomes of the various initiatives undertaken by EfG over the years.
