PTC Final evaluation

Oxfam is seeking to recruit a consultant/ consultancy firm to lead the final evaluation of the Power to Choose project. The evaluation will assess the project’s impact, effectiveness, and contributions to advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for young women and adolescent girls across Lebanon.

 

Oxfam has been working in Lebanon since 1993 providing humanitarian assistance to vulnerable people affected by conflict, and promoting economic development, good governance at a local and national level, and women’s rights through Oxfam’s work with partners. Oxfam also works with local partners to contribute to the protection and empowerment of marginalized women and men.  

Oxfam in Lebanon, with the support of Marsa sexual health center, Lebanese Order of midwives (LOM) , Akkarouna and Society for Inclusion and Development in Communities and Care for All (SIDC) are   implementing a five-year, Global Affairs Canada (GAC) funded project entitled “Power to Choose – Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) for Young Women and Adolescent Girls”. Overall, the project aims to increase the enjoyment of health-related human rights by the most marginalized and vulnerable women and adolescent girls with a primary focus on North Lebanon, and smaller-scale interventions in the Bekaa and South Lebanon. This goal will be achieved mainly through (1) Increased agency of young women and adolescent girls contributing to their equitable use of sexual and reproductive health services and (2) improved provision of gender-responsive, inclusive and accountable sexual and reproductive health services by health care providers for diverse groups of young women and adolescent girls. To a lesser extent the goal is also achieved through (3) improved effectiveness of key stakeholders, particularly women and youth organizations or movements, to advocate for evidence-based health care policies, accountable legal framework, and equitable and inclusive services.

Oxfam is looking to hire a consultant/consultancy firm to conduct a final evaluation on the Power to Choose project covering the project implementation period between April 2022 and March 2026 in North Lebanon, Bekaa and South areas. The goal of the final evaluation is to evaluate the impact of Power to Choose project with a particular focus on understanding the changes achieved to date, examining the effectiveness of ways of working, ensuring social accountability, and generating learning.

The consultant/consultancy firm should ensure that a Feminist lens is applied to all the final evaluation’s analyses and actions (Global strategic framework 2020-2030). This means committing to Oxfam’s 11 feminist principles.

throughout all the stages of the final evaluation and the Feminist MEAL approach – consultants are encouraged to get inspired by the Feminist MEAL approach:

• Consultants are to show how they will take ethical considerations into consideration, using a “Do no harm” approach when working with project participants. This should be shown in the risk analysis in the inception report.
•  Consultants should define essential requirements for effective and safe data management. Consider the following open-access Oxfam policies:
  • Oxfam Digital safeguarding Policy (Arabic) (English)
• Full informed consent is to be obtained from every participant involved
• Consultants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the feminist MEAL approach. Consider the following open-access resources:
  • Feminist MEAL orientation document and resource Box
  • Guidance note on feminist MEAL
  • Feminist knowledge strategy

 

The final evaluation will be conducted using a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques.

 

The methodology must make use of existing monitoring and evaluation data generated throughout the Power to Choose project, including (but not limited to):

 

• Impact assessments.
• Baseline, Learning and Review insights.
• Stories of change.
• Narrative progress reports.

 

The quantitative component will primarily seek to respond to the program’s main outcome indicators and should consist of a structured survey administered to a representative sample of 357 individuals that reflects the diversity of Power to Choose’s target groups and participants, as guided by Oxfam’s MEAL team. Specific strata should be taken into consideration when selecting the final sample. These strata could include but are not limited to:

• Young women and men participating in comprehensive sexuality education programme.
• Unmarried, married women and people from diverse SOGIESC
• Service users benefitting from different SRH services.
• Health care providers and administrators

In addition, qualitative data collection should be conducted including:

 

• Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with partners, Healthcare providers, others as needed.
• Focus Group Discussions (FGDs): Gathering qualitative insights from project right holders, Healthcare providers, Champions Group, Co Researchers, others as needed.
• Outcome harvesting with various groups.

 

The qualitative data collection will end only when data saturation is reached.

The consultants /consultancy firms should ensure that data analysis is intersectional (at least for gender, age, geography, SOGIESC and relationship status). This means that data should not only be disaggregated and analyzed by gender and age groups but must also consider other social identities. For example, in the Power to Choose evaluation the following social identities/factors should also be taken into consideration while presenting and disaggregating the data:

• • • Geographic location
    • Age
    • Identifying as a person with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or sex

characteristics (SOGIESC)

• • • Relationship status

 

The consultants/consultancy firms are expected to provide the following deliverables:

 

• An inception report detailing methodological approach and tools to be used and the completed evaluation matrix (which identifies which survey questions will be used to inform each indicator), a sampling strategy, full data collection tools, detailed work plan, methodologies and risk analysis. Please note the complete inception report must be approved before any data collection can begin

• Actors’ engagement Workshop’s facilitation tools 

• Cleaned database (qualitative and quantitative) including raw data.

• Report with findings and recommendations (including consolidation/synthesis of the results from different sources) 

• Validation and actors’ engagement Workshop delivery to Oxfam (and partners)
• Final revised report - number of revisions depend on the quality of the submitted document. The final report should not exceed 40 pages. 

• Power Point Presentation of the findings  

• A fact sheet with main findings and recommendations 

• Workshop report with findings, recommendations, action points and strategic decisions captured throughout the discussions during the event.

 

The selected candidate/firm is asked to participate in the FMEAL workshop organized by Oxfam and partners and scheduled from January 28, 2026, to January 30, 2026.  This workshop aims to co-reflect with stakeholders and partners on the application of feminist MEAL in data collection, analysis and utilization for this evaluation.

  

The final evaluation report (35-40 pages) must be comprised of the following sections: 

• Executive summary 
• Introduction 
• Methodology  
  • How the data was collected, analysed, and validated (design study, sampling, protocols for data collection, criteria for disaggregation) 
  • Challenges and limitations that must be considered to understand and interpret findings. 

 

• Key findings: 
  • At least 2 stories of individual or collective change
  • Critical and intersectional analysis of the collected data through statistical treatment
  • Qualitative analysis supported by testimonials and/or focus group consensus.
• Actionable recommendations emerging from the analysis including: 
  • Suggested reflections or adaptations to the Theory of Change or MEAL framework for future projects. 
  • Analysis of outcome- and output-level achievements and any unintended results. 
  • Emerging learning questions that should inform future advocacy, SRHR work, shrinking civic space and current worldwide budget limitations and cuts. 
  • Lessons to inform the design, implementation, and MEAL of similar upcoming projects. 

Annexes:  

• A completed performance measurement framework
