External Evaluation Consultant: Education Program in Syria

Recruitment shall be subject to open competition without regard to race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and beliefs, and to political affiliation, social status, mother tongue and ethnic. Talents acquisition shall be made taking into account the importance of recruiting and maintaining a geographically diverse and gender-balanced workforce. JRS reserves the right to close the vacancy prior to the application closing date, once we receive high number of suitable applications.

At the heart of our efforts is our engagement with marginalised and displaced communities, especially with vulnerable adults and children. These groups are particularly at risk of sexual exploitation and abuse, and other forms of gender-based violence. JRS is committed to the protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (PSEAH) of all JRS beneficiaries by JRS personnel. JRS has zero tolerance towards all forms of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment and takes seriously all concerns and complaints about SEAH by JRS personnel.

The main goal of this evaluation is to answer our questions on how the program’s effectiveness can be enhanced.
The aim is to obtain an external and independent assessment of the projects. Along with the OECD/DAC criteria for evaluation (relevance, coherence, effectiveness, outcomes and impacts, efficiency, sustainability), it will examine what has been achieved by the projects and in which areas adjustments or a conceptual revision/reorientation might be necessary. These findings and recommendations will provide evidence-based recommendations to inform the next program planning and design.
