Procurement of Research Evaluation Consultant

SAT-7 and Right to Play are calling available research consultants and companies to register their interest to be involved in the evaluation of this project.

 

The scope of this impact evaluation is to assess the extent to which the project is successfully pursuing its intended outcomes and objective. Evaluative research is conducted to determine how much influence the project has had on those who have engaged with it, including the child participants, viewers, communities, and duty bearers. It seeks to discover if there has been any association between exposure to outputs and changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours. The evaluation is done in co-operation with the project partners and will include triangulation of the internal monitoring and research findings.
