Agulhas (in partnership with Cowater) is undertaking a 4.5 year assignment to conduct the monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) of FCDO’s Just Rural Transition Support Programme (JRTSP). The MEL component will assess how well JRTSP supports large-scale transformation of agriculture and food systems by contributing to shifts from policies and practices that may drive environmental degradation, undermining food and economic security, to those that deliver “triple wins” for people, prosperity, and the planet, tackling climate change and improving food security and nutrition, jobs and incomes, operating across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The project objectives include:
- Monitoring: To ensure that quality evidence is collected against the JRTSP log frame and for FCDO’s annual reviews, and to inform learning and evaluation activities
- Evaluation: To evaluate programme-level performance, likely impact and value for money, enabling learning and improvement in programme delivery. Providing a baseline assessment, a formative (midline) and summative (endline) evaluation on programme performance, expected impact, value for money, and lessons learned.
- Learning: Generate new evaluative evidence and learning on effective approaches for achieving national policy reform, including thematic studies which bring out learning from the programme on what works well (and not so well), for use by FCDO and others working on similar themes.
We will conduct activities at baseline, midline and endline, and annually.
