overview 

CAMRIS International is an international development and research firm that realizes innovative solutions to development challenges through high-quality, cost-effective program and research management services. With experience working in more than 80 countries, we combine our proven systems with today’s most effective, evidence-based best practices to improve the lives of people around the world. 

CAMRIS International implements USAID/Nepal’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Activity, a five-year project. The Nepal MEL Activity supports the achievement of USAID/Nepal’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) development objectives by assisting the Mission in planning, designing, conducting, disseminating and learning from more rigorous monitoring and evaluation of development activities. This includes designing and implementing both quantitative and qualitative evaluations and assessments, as well as providing expert analysis and technical assistance to USAID/Nepal’s programs.

The Nepal MEL Activity has three major components:

• Component 1: Support greater rigor and coherence in USAID/Nepal’s M&E efforts
• Component 2: Design and conduct analyses, evaluations, surveys, studies, and assessments
• Component 3: Support improved knowledge management within the Mission

In support of USAID’ Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Activity Nepal, CAMRIS International seeks applications for short term consultancy positions for the upcoming Midterm Performance Evaluation of USAID/Nepal’s Niti Sambad Program.

The purpose of this Mid-term Evaluation is to determine whether the activity is on track to accomplish its intended goals and objectives and recommend course corrections if this is not the case and/or if adjustments should be made given Nepal’s state restructuring and political transition.  The evaluation will also assess the degree to which there is early evidence of sustainability of project results, and whether the approach appears to be advancing the Mission’s GESI policy. This evaluation will examine the effectiveness of approaches and relevance of project developmental hypothesis and theory of change.
