WEE-Care: Women's Economic Empowerment and Care (Phase V) Women's Economic Empowerment and Care (WE -Care) aims to increase the recognition of Unpaid Care and Domestic Work (UCDW) in public policy; reduce heavy and time -consuming UCDW through investments in essential public services and infrastructure; redistribute the responsibility for UCDW more equally between men and women and between households and the state; and ensure that women with care responsibilities are represented in the planning and implementation of budgets and policies that affect their lives. The program works towards a just and inclusive society by recognizing, reducing, redistributing, representing, and rewarding unpaid care and domestic work (UCDW). It envisions a world where women and girls have more choice at every stage of their lives and that the work they do is valued. Launching in September 2023, WE -Care phase 5 will have a strong focus on African women and girls gaining greater autonomy over their lives and time. Enhanced recognition, reduction, redistribution, reward, and representation of their unpaid and paid care and domestic work will increase their ability to live their lives to the fullest and enjoy better social, economic, political, and cultural rights. This new phase will also  include underpaid care and domestic work. The program will be implemented in Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Kenya with strong linkages to regional and global spaces and opportunities for influencing UCDW.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of International and Tribal Affairs (OITA): Contract Providing EC-LEDS technical assistance, in the area environmental regulatory development, in Costa Rica which will meet EPAs commitment under the U.S. and Central America and Dominican Republice Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).
Ethiopia Portfolio Assurance Programme Phase2 DFID Ethiopia is the largest DFID programme in Africa and third largest DFID programme globally. Strengthening the financial accountability and ensuring that UK expenditure delivers value for money in all its programmes is key for DFID Ethiopia given the significant level of expenditure. DFIDE is spending over GBP 300 million annually (Planned budget for year 2018-19: GBP 302 million; 2019-20: GBP 292 million;) on development programmes through a variety of modalities which include partner governments, private sector contractors, multilateral agencies and NGOs. Given this background, it became practical to take additional measures to protect DFID’s investments and ensure funds are reaching their intended beneficiaries, providing value for money to all the stakeholders. Ethiopia Portfolio Assurance Programme (EPAP 1), a 9-month pilot program, was thus designed, to review DFIDE highest risk programmes across a range of sectors and types of implementing partners, assessing governance and management processes and developing action plans to help improve those processes and procedures. Building upon the lessons from the pilot program, the EPAP 2 Program, was launched. EPAP 2 Program is a little different from the EPAP 1 Program which focused more on management of fiduciary risks assessment, internal and forensic audits, fund-flow tracking, and financial management. The Program is now more adaptive and flexible, and covers elements in detail, viz., governance, review of log-frame results at the program & project level, and monitoring, among others. 1. Reviews of governance and financial management of partner organisations; 2. Strengthening of monitoring & evaluation systems; 3. Flexible, targeted technical advice. This includes strengthening of VfM measures and reporting mechanisms of the partner organizations and downstream partners; 4. Review of the safeguarding mechanisms; 5. Interpretation of finance and assurance reports; 6. Contribute to building the capability of DFID Ethiopia staff, including, partner organizations and downstream partners and government departments, in effectively managing the programme risk; 7. Managing and tackling the fiduciary risks and corruption in the programmes. The EPAP 2 Program will provide DFID Ethiopia with an extra level of assurance that its funds are being used for the purposes intended.
Cities and Infrastructure for Growth (CIG) - Myanmar Country Programme Myanmar’s cities are rapidly growing, increasing demand for urban services, electricity and public transportation. Infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth. Adequate and resilient infrastructure improves access to basic services such as clean water and electricity; stimulates trade and boosts business, thus creating jobs. It also makes Myanmar’s cities more climate resilient and liveable. With the right tools and policies in place, infrastructure can help lift cities, countries and their people out of poverty. Hlan Chi aims to assist government at all levels to provide improved urban services and thus create more employment opportunities. CIG Myanmar works alongside government agencies and the private sector providing expert assistance to help: • Make infrastructure investment decisions that are in the long-term interests of the people of Myanmar. • Plan and manage cities to promote business growth, drive job creation and enable people to move around the city with ease. • Widen access to affordable electricity, water, sanitation and housing for all sectors of society. • Coordinate complex urban and infrastructure projects, to reduce social, environmental and climate risks. • Improve cities’ finances to facilitate the provision of infrastructure services to all communities. • Attract appropriate investment in infrastructure and services that benefits all and creates resilient cities.
Evaluation and Analysis for Tax Transformation (EATT) component of the DFID Ethiopia Tax Systems Transformation Programme In 2016 DFID and the Ethiopian Government established a Tax Transformation Office (TTO) in the Ethiopian Customs and Revenue Authority (ERCA). This unit is designed to drive the institutional transformation of ERCA and tax policy reform in MoFEC (Ministry of Finance and Economic Cooperation). TTO coordinators and advisers work with counterparts in selected teams across ERCA and MoFEC to implement pre-agreed initiative plans that come together to form a delivery roadmap, the objective of which is to support the responsible and equitable increase of tax revenues in Ethiopia.

As a delivery unit, the TTO incorporates intensive, data-driven monitoring into its operating model. Excaliber software is used to monitor initiative progress according to a detailed KPI framework on a week on week basis. This information is fed live to a Tableau dashboard that informs weekly check-ins and monthly delivery meetings with senior leadership. DFID Ethiopia through the EATT management agent will directly support tax transformation activities with specialized evaluation and analysis support as well as provide a means of independent quality assurance.

4. To identify synergies and innovative approaches to anti-corruption and transparency
between I-ACT and two other DFID centrally managed programmes (CMP)."
Independent Evaluation and Learning Partner (IELP) for Increasing Access to Gender Based Violence Response Services in Afghanistan – Phase 2 DFID Afghanistan The IELP is a core component of DFID’s approach to GBV programming in Afghanistan. The purpose of the IELP is to learn about what elements of the programme are working or not and for whom, and to determine the most effective and sustainable model of GBV health response services, by testing and evaluating which model provides the best quality, the greatest access and value for money. This evidence, will support robust policy and programmatic decisions towards realising the medium-term goal of integrating GBV response into the government health service. This means a core task of the evaluation is to understand the decision-making environment and what information decision-makers need, when, and in what format.
Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC), Policy Evaluation and Learning Team (PELT) DFID’s Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC) programme is a 10-year (2011-2021), £250 million programme aimed at tackling forest governance failures in developing timber-producing countries and the consequent market failures that result in illegal exploitation of forest land and resources and the associated trade in timber and other forest risk commodities. As FGMC approaches the end of its current phase, there is a need to take stock, at programme level, of progress and the prognosis for further achievements. To meet this need, FGMC has commissioned a ‘Policy Evaluation and Learning Team’ (PELT) to carry out research, reviews and analysis, jointly with PMST and DFID, to address the overarching question of: ‘how, why, and under what conditions do forest-related governance and markets change, to what effect and to whose benefit?'
Performance Evaluation of the AgriTech Catalyst International Development Window Performance Evaluation of the AgriTech Catalyst International Development Window: The Service Provider (SP) will conduct a performance evaluation (“the evaluation”) of the AgriTech Catalyst International Development Window between 2019 and 2022. The evaluation will be commissioned through DFID’s Global Evaluation Framework Agreement (GEFA). This evaluation will complement an ongoing process evaluation of a number of Catalyst Programmes and an interim impact evaluation of the UK component of the AgriTech Catalyst, commissioned by Innovate UK (IUK) and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) respectively. These studies have purposefully not select international development applicants and grantees for primary data collection. More detail is provided under the Constraints and Dependencies section of this TOR. The specific focus of the evaluation is to provide a rigorous and independent assessment of the effectiveness of the funding mechanism in stimulating agricultural innovation in and for developing countries. The primary purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of the AgriTech Catalyst International Development Window (Catalyst) in catalysing agricultural innovation in developing countries. Additionally, the evaluation will also assess the impact of selected individual projects funded by the Catalyst. The evaluation will require assessment of the Catalyst competition process and the individual projects funded by the programme. More specifically, learning from the Process Evaluation will feed directly into future rounds of the Catalyst and provide lessons for future DFID-IUK collaboration. The Impact component will support DFID’s learning on the effectiveness of the mechanism in accelerating the pace and scale of agricultural innovation and inform future decisions on support to the sector.
DFID Evaluation of CDC’s Financial Sector Portfolio The purpose of this evaluation is to better understand the development outcomes and impacts associated with CDC’s investments in the financial sector. Its key components will include:

A rapid review of CDC’s portfolio in the financial institutions sector using descriptive analysis to help highlight the outputs, outcomes and impacts intended and produced by CDC investments in the financial sector. This should provide a deeper understanding of CDC’s and its investees’ goals and work in this sector at each step along the impact pathway. It will help to identify what is understood about the outcomes and impacts of investments, where key questions and knowledge gaps remain, and where there are potential opportunities for further evaluation of these investments.
A targeted review and mapping of the evidence base on the impacts of financial institutions underpinning the work of CDC and its investees. Linked with the portfolio review described above, mapping CDC’s portfolio against the evidence base will help to draw out key lessons relevant to CDC and its investees, and provide insights into potential opportunities to increase impact.
A series of four to seven in‐depth studies addressing targeted research and evaluation questions relevant to CDC and/or its investees in the FI sector, including primary data collection. The finalisation of evaluation questions and study designs will follow on from the first two steps outlined above.
Improving developmental outcomes for children with complex disabilities in Garissa and Kwale Counties of rural Kenya Over 3 years, 55,000 children (0-4 years) in Garissa and Kwale Counties in Kenya will be screened for sensory impairments, with 124 children with complex impairments having improved growth and developmental outcomes. This will be made possible by the following interlinked outputs:
1)	Strengthened capacity of community health systems in 4 sub-counties and 40 health facilities;
2)	Sensory screening using a 2-step screening process at community and health facility levels;
3)	Children with complex disabilities receiving high quality early intervention services.
4)	County Governments of Garissa and Kwale have improved understanding of and develop action plans to adopt and sustain the screening and EI model.
Establishing early intervention services for infants with sensory impairments in Kenya and Uganda (UKAM) Working with hospitals and primary health centres in poor peri-urban centres of Kenya and Uganda, the first sensory screening programme for children aged 0-3 years will be established. Infants born with complex sensory impairments will have improved developmental outcomes, through accessing a specialist Early Intervention health service. This will contribute to reducing child mortality, developing the case for Governments to roll-out the approach and introduce the rubella vaccination.
TO20 Promoting Inclusive Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) in Kenya Working through government structures and with civil society, we will demonstrate affordable contextually-appropriate – and hence scalable and sustainable –  inclusive Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) approaches for children with disabilities in selected pre-primary schools in Nyanza Region, Homa Bay, Kenya. The innovation is aiming to test which low cost strategies work well in ECDE settings and how girls and boys with disabilities can be supported to attend pre-primary school within their local setting. Strategies to enable children with multiple and complex disabilities to access an early education will be explored, including the use of home based care. Sense International Will have a focus around complex disabilities and homebased education and will collaborate on advising about working with parents and guardians to strengthen the home based support system with the aim of supporting them to transit to inclusive education and into mainstream schools.
TO6 Kenya: InBusiness - Disability Inclusive Business: Linking micro and small business owned by PWD to established commercial enterprises Sense International will engage: 12 micro-entrepreneurs with deafblindness (and their family members) trained, 1 Business Development Service providers (BDS) are deployed, and 1 Lead Business Mentors (LBM) connected to the micro-enterprises. 
-	Mapping and identification of people with deafblindness and their families.
-	Linkage meetings with BDS providers and people with deafblindness and their families.
-	Training of people with deafblindness and their families and/or support assistants on business development.
-	Development of individualized business support plans
TO50 InBusiness Programme in Kenya The overall objective of the initiative remains to link micro and small businesses owned by persons with disabilities or jointly with their families and friends to public and private institutions operating in Kenya. Through the business linkages we aim to foster the growth, encourage more persons with disabilities to become entrepreneurs and trigger institutional reforms that facilitate conducive business climate and nurture healthy entrepreneurial ecosystems in which persons with disabilities can participate on an equal basis.
Learning from TO40 and TO6 will be integrated into the scale project, which will include: increasing the number of lead businesses and providing them ongoing inclusion support rather than one off training,  helping micro-entrepreneurs diversify and adapt,  fuller engagement and training of caregivers to sustain lessons and provide broader support to households, addressing self-esteem and self-advocacy as barriers to participation/livelihood opportunities, and clustering business support so it can remain as tailored as possible at reasonable cost.
TO40 Disability Inclusive Covid-19 response in Kenya The DID programme’s COVID-19 response task orders aim to provide a disability inclusive COVID-19 response in a humanitarian setting.
