Are you passionate about the defence of human rights and capacity-building? Do you have an international experience as an evaluator? If so, this mission might be for you!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Apply <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nOrganisation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThe <\/span>International Service for Human Rights<\/span><\/a> (ISHR) is an independent, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights. We achieve this by supporting human rights defenders, strengthening human rights systems, and leading and participating in coalitions for human rights change.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nBackground<\/span> information<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nISHR seeks to engage one or several independent consultant(s) to conduct an evaluation of its flagship training programme, the Human Right Defenders Advocacy Programme (HRDAP) which has for over 10 years providing support to human rights defenders (HRDs) in understanding and engaging with the international human rights mechanisms, primarily those of the United Nations. HRDAP has over that period trained more than 200 human rights defenders working on diverse topics such as advancing women\u2019s rights; defending the rights of LGBTQI+ persons; combatting racism; working on human rights issues in highly restrictive environments; or working on environmental issues, Indigenous communities or corporate accountability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
HRDAP training programme <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThe <\/span><\/b>Human Rights Defender Advocacy Programme<\/span><\/b><\/a> (HRDAP)<\/span><\/b> is an intensive capacity development programme created by and for human rights defenders. The programme brings together committed activists who seek to <\/span>build their international advocacy skills, expand their networks and leverage them to achieve change in their respective communities.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThrough ISHR\u2019s flagship learning programme, defenders get a chance to:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Objectives of the external evaluation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThe overall objective of this study is to assess <\/span>the relevance, effectiveness (including impact), efficiency and sustainability<\/span><\/b> of HRDAP and take stock of lessons learnt to establish recommendations for future strategic planning.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nHRDAP has changed in its format since 2014 and has proven to be successful for its primary audience in terms of global satisfaction. The programme has evolved significantly in terms of delivery methods, scope and management due to external factors such as the development of online learning, the covid-19 pandemic and also internal factors such as ISHR growth and staff turn-over. Although for most of the time, global surveys have been conducted among participants and within programme staff, ISHR has not conducted a dedicated external evaluation of the programme.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe <\/span>primary users <\/span><\/b>of the evaluation report will be the ISHR staff (in particular the programme team and directors' groups) who will use the findings and recommendations to inform ISHR strategies and future programming, including the building of a training strategy. The <\/span>secondary users <\/span><\/b>will be the institutional donors and human rights defenders interested in the programme.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis evaluation should:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Scope and methodology of the evaluation\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThe scope of work for the evaluation should include the review of the whole HRDAP process (planning,\u00a0<\/span> selection of participants, online and in-person module delivery, programme evaluation) with a particular focus on the hybrid training component and impact of the programme on the HRDs\u2019 work in home countries in the past years.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe expect the evaluation to include at least the following tasks:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Candidates should include an estimate of the time required to complete the assignment in the proposal.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe estimated budget for this evaluation should not exceed USD 11,000 and should specify daily or hourly rates, other costs and include a total cost.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
