Having commenced in January 2020, amongst the onset of COVID- 19, the programme has reached its mid-point with WWF Network Standards requiring an internal mid-term evaluation to be facilitated by a third party evaluator.  This is also the right time to learn from the previous 2.5 years in order to be able to apply that learning to the coming 2.5 years. EVALUATION PURPOSE AND USE, OBJECTIVES, AND SCOPE  Phase 1 Purpose: To surface learning from the current work within the Pillar and provide recommendations to be able to inform improvement to strategic approaches that will strengthen delivery (by each implementation partner and across the portfolio, to all applicable outcomes and objectives) over the remaining 2.5 years and support adaptive management decision making.  Evaluation Objectives: To provide an external validation of progress towards the stated objectives and outcomes and assess whether the programme is on course to achieve its targets (acknowledging that the teams will have recently revised these objectives. For new objectives we are therefore looking for comment on their potential); To enable each country programme to surface lessons (eg about their newly revised Theories of Change and processes) and plan improvements; To review the newly revised overarching TOC and relook at the changed context, reflecting on the assumptions and test whether it still holds true. Make recommendations on how the program should adapt based on changes since the programme was designed; To consider the ASPOL Governance structures and consider the suitability of this set up and provide recommendations on how to improve it; To evaluate the role of ASPOL in the wider Climate Solutions Partnership and to recommend ways in which ASPOL can be better integrated to the Partnership objectives, including the achievement of its KPIs; Assess whether we are set up for success: this includes analysis of strategies adopted, teams and resources deployed, internal ways of working; Based on the analysis above, support teams to provide solutions and clear ways forward (or provide recommendations directly); To run a portfolio wide workshop to validate the rearticulation of the Theories of Change, and discuss the recommendations from the evaluation outputs; To deliver an MTR report clearly documenting findings and recommendations on an agreed set of items, with an executive summary for sharing with the CSP governance body. ### HOW TO APPLY Submit to Lesley King () by 4th July 2022 a 6 page response to the above ITT, indicating: See attached doc for requirements.
