MSI Reproductive Choices is seeking the services of an expert consultant or a team of consultants to carry out an end-of-project evaluation of the EU co-funded Youth for Health project. This is a consortium project led by MSI Reproductive Choices.

MSI EU Head of Programmes, Evidence and Impact Advisor, and Y4H consortium partners to evaluate the extent to which the project has improved adolescents’ access to, and utilisation of, sexual and reproductive health services and rights in certain countries.  

MSI Y4H project aims to expand access to life-changing adolescent sexual and reproductive healthcare and rights (ASRHR), with a focus on reaching the poorest and most marginalised adolescent girls, including those with disabilities, in rural and hard-to-reach areas of Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Zambia. By unlocking demand and access and contributing towards changes in favour of supportive policies and funding environments, Y4H aims to increase and sustain access to ASRHR for girls and young women.

The end of project evaluation has two key objectives:

1. Make an overall assessment of the project by analysing its results using the following criteria:
    Relevance: Determine the extent to which the Y4H project’s design and interventions involved and
   were tailored to the specific needs and barriers faced by adolescents, people with disabilities, or those
   in rural or remote areas
    Coherence: Assess the extent to which the Y4H project is aligned with Government policies or
   strategies related to SRHR and what synergy exists between the project and other initiatives in the
   country and project regions
    Effectiveness: Determine the extent to which the Y4H project was able to achieve the objectives and
   outcomes outlined in the Theory of Change and the logical framework and what were its key
   successes and challenges in implementing the project’s activities and reaching target groups
    Efficiency: Assess if any actions were taken to enhance efficiency during implementation and if the
   project has produced results in a cost-effective and timely manner
    Impact: Assess the overall impact of the Y4H project in enhancing adolescent access to SRHR and
   identify successful approaches and learnings
    Sustainability: Determine to what extent the project has engaged the Government, helped create
   buy-in and strengthened the Government to deliver services. Assess if the project has supported
   community structures to be able to continue to address / respond to adolescent needs after the
   project ends
2. Generate insights and learnings into what worked well and what challenges were encountered in
   expanding access to life-changing ASRHR during implementation in order to improve future
   programming
