Consultancy Notice – Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Consultant

As part of the ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR)’s efforts to strengthen its internal capacity, and after careful consideration of the circumstances and the work required for the current period, the annual planning process has revealed the need for more robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) support to help determine the sustainability and strategic directions of the organization.

In addition to the objectives mentioned earlier, it is important to highlight that this year will involve key M&E and organizational assessments, which will contribute to the development of a 5-year strategic framework and a 3-year grant proposal. These assessments will provide valuable insights into APHR’s performance and impact, guiding the organization’s future direction and resource mobilization efforts.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that the organization’s Board Executive Committee (ExeCom) has made a strategic decision to actively support and enhance the M&E processes at APHR. Recognizing the importance of robust monitoring and evaluation, the ExeCom has enlisted the assistance of the M&E Consultant to strengthen these processes. This collaboration aims to ensure the effective measurement of outcomes and the overall success of APHR’s programs and initiatives.

The Consultant will be responsible for the following tasks:

• Provide support and act as the focal point for the project impact evaluation, which will be contracted by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
• Coordinate and manage the collection and processing of data for the systematic assessment of the APHR Strategic Plan 2019-2024.
• Lead the development of a  M&E that consolidates all activity inputs and results, including updating existing M&E systems and templates.
• Support the development and facilitate the process of creating a new APHR Strategic Framework, Theory of Change, and M&E Learning indicators for the period 2025-2030. This includes support work in conducting the Board Strategic Assessment and Planning Concept Paper and Program.
• Support the new Executive Director in the development of APHR’s grant proposal, including the creation of a work plan and M&E indicators for the period 2025-2027.
• Collaborate with the program team to draft the APHR terminal report for the years 2019-2024 (including 2024 annual report), which will be submitted to APHR’s core donors.
