As a major part of WFP\u2019s accountability framework, evaluations assess the performance and results of WFP\u2019s policies, strategies, programmes, and activities for accountability and learning to inform future direction. The Evaluation Policy (2022) aims to strengthen WFP\u2019s contribution to ending global hunger by embedding evaluation into the core of its working culture, ensuring evidence-based decision-making in all its work. WFP\u2019s evaluation function model combines centralized evaluation with demand-led decentralized evaluation, in line with Strategic Plan commitments and related organizational strengthening initiatives. Since 2016, the organization has invested substantial resources in the development of evaluation capacity at the country and regional levels. Within this context, RBC has established a Regional Evaluation Unit and within the framework of the corporate evaluation policy, developed a Regional Evaluation Strategy which is currently being updated to take us through to 2030.<\/p>\n

Under the direct supervision of the Regional Evaluation Officer (REO), the incumbent consultant will support the ongoing work programme of WFP\u2019s Regional Evaluation Unit based located in the Regional Bureau Cairo. Key tasks will include:<\/p>\n

\n
• provide support and oversight to country offices in all evaluation-related work;<\/li>\n
• contribute to the development and implementation of VAM\/M&E Plans aligned to WFP corporate standards to generate quality evidence on the results achieved and inform policy, strategy and Programme design and implementation.<\/li>\n
• Jointly with the REO, the evaluation consultant is expected to contribute to enhancing the use of evaluations through the dissemination of knowledge and learnings from evaluations;<\/li>\n
• Analyse and document the progress of RBC in the implementation of the Corporate Evaluation Strategy and Policy.
