Request for Proposal for Project Evaluation Consultant

Announcement Description

DESCRIPTION

Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA was established in 1984 by the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) as the Australian union movement’s overseas aid arm. Our purpose is for Australian unions to work globally in partnership for the achievement of dignity at work, social justice, economic equality and the realisation of human rights.

We work to achieve this through strong unions and social movements, sustainable development programs, global solidarity and support in times of crisis. We work through local partner organizations and unions in Southeast Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East and southern Africa.

PURPOSE OF THE EVALUATION

Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA seeks to examine in-depth the second three-year phase of the project (1 July 2023 – 30 June 2026) and our ongoing strategic relationship with our partners three unions/association and a government ministry. Evaluation findings will inform the design of a potential third project phase.

The evaluation will cover the entire phase 2 project period, building on the findings of a 2023 evaluation. It will examine progress in improving outcomes for women workers in precarious and informal sectors, as identified by union partners, with a focus on expanding their access to Decent Work through stronger representation within trade unions. Particular attention will be given to lessons learned, tangible outcomes, and progress toward organisational and structural changes aimed at transforming gender norms within unions and workers’ associations. The evaluation will assess how far these changes have strengthened unions’ capacity to identify and represent the needs of women workers. It will also review the extent to which the project has promoted dialogue on women’s workplace issues with decision-makers, including through a government Ministry.

The assessment will also consider environmental considerations and integration of cross-cutting priorities such as safeguarding.
