ABOUT SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL

Solidarités International is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that specializes in providing humanitarian aid and assistance to populations affected by crises and emergencies around the world. Founded in 1980 in France, Solidarités International operates with a mission to address the immediate needs of vulnerable communities and contribute to their long-term resilience.

 

ABOUT THE MISSION

Solidarités International (SI), Humanity and Inclusion (HI) and Médecins du Monde (MdM) have formed a consortium to jointly address the problems related to the reception of Ukrainian refugees in Moldova. This joint initiative is part of a project funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) and the Fondation de France (FDF). Within this consortium, SI plays a leading role and HI and MdM are actively involved as valuable partners. The project is designed to strengthen social cohesion and resilience in Moldovan society in response to the complex challenges posed by the growing number of Ukrainian refugees.

 

PURPOSE OF THE CONSULTATION – ABOUT THE MARKET

The purpose of the final evaluation is to provide a comprehensive and objective assessment of the project’s effectiveness, efficiency, and impact. The evaluation serves the following purposes:

  • To assess whether the project achieved its intended objectives and delivered the planned results.
  • To identify and analyze the successes, challenges, and lessons learned during the project implementation including gaps in humanitarian assistance that the project could not cover.
  • To gather input from various stakeholders, including beneficiaries, local partners, and government entities, regarding their perceptions of the project’s relevancy and effectiveness.

To offer data and insights that can be used to refine programmatic strategies and inform future project designs including comparative analysis of relevancy between regions and sectors.

The evaluation is intended to cover the entire duration of the project. The evaluation will primarily focus on the relevance and coherence of the project and whether the strategy, activities, and implementation were appropriate and sufficient to respond to the stated goals and purposes (general and specific) of the project. The evaluation will also seek to generate information (findings and recommendations) on the processes underlying the coordination, and implementation of activities in the project.

The evaluation will aim to assess all themes and sectors of activities undertaken by SI, HI, MDM, and implementing partners. The evaluation will include collecting information, data, and feedback from external project stakeholders as well as internal stakeholders, such as project staff and implementing staff. In addition, the evaluation will seek to identify, and include, if and where appropriate, persons (organizations or beneficiaries) who did not participate in the project.
