Announcement Description
VVOB is a non-profit organisation with over 35 years of experience in improving the quality of education systems from a rights-based perspective. VVOB has currently long-term partnerships with education actors in 9 countries in the South (Cambodia, DR Congo, Ecuador, Rwanda, South Africa, Suriname, Vietnam, Zambia and Uganda) and in Belgium/Flanders. Its annual budget is around 13 million euros.
VVOB’s vision is to strive for a sustainable world based on equal opportunities through quality education. For VVOB quality education means: “… one that provides all learners with capacities they require to become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods, contribute to peaceful and democratic societies and enhance individual wellbeing.”
In pursuit of quality education, VVOB works on two components, professional development of teachers and professional development of school leaders in four subsectors with following goals:
Teachers and school leaders in early education (and in the transition to primary education) provide an equal start to all learners to ensure their full development during their future education;
Teachers and school leaders in primary education use appropriate pedagogical and didactic methodologies to improve literacy, numeracy and life skills in all learners;
Teachers and school leaders in general secondary education (and in the transition to it) ensure all learners acquire the necessary 21st century skills;
Teachers and school leaders in technical and vocational education and training prepare all learners to the needs of society and decent work.

Period: 01/01/2017 – 31/12/2021
The main objectives of this end evaluation can be summarised as follows:
To assess programme achievements in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, relevance, potential sustainability, impact and mainstreaming of gender and environmental aspects envisaged by the programme.
To identify Key Areas of Success as well as the critical factors that lead to or contributed to this success.
To identify Critical Areas for Improvement in relation to the design, implementation or the M&E of the programme.
To generate conclusions and recommendations for VVOB and its partners that can inform future formulation and planning processes.
Evaluation criteria and key questions
In view of the above purpose and objectives, the evaluation will address following criteria and related key questions.
Note:
The criteria follow the definition and interpretation that is used in the Performance Scores, DGD’s mandatory annual reporting format, except for “impact” which is not part of DGD’s Performance Scores assessment. For impact, the revised definition of the OECD DAC evaluation criteria of December 2019 is used1.
Outcome refers to the programme’s Specific Objective while outputs relate to the results and subresults as specified in the programme’s logical framework.
For the transversal theme gender, the interpretation used in the Performance Scores was broadened to “gender and other equity dimensions” as the programme may also address other barriers to equity in education such as socio-economic status, language, race, learning disorders or geographical barriers (urban/rural, climate change, natural disasters).
