Request for Proposals: Programme Evaluation - Pakistan

We invite qualified evaluators to submit bids in response to this Request for Proposals (RFP) to conduct an independent evaluation into one of our programmes. Evaluators must be based in Pakistan and will be expected to carry out field visits.

About the Programme:

The ‘Mental Health Integration into Primary Care’ project with Taskeen, Sehat Kahani and GIHD is a 3-year project from 1st Jan 2022 to 1st Jan 2025 with an additional 08 month of no-cost extension. The core objective of the project is integration of mental health services into primary care. This was done through building the capacity of healthcare providers such as general practitioners and family practitioners and institutionalizing this effort as an academic course offered beyond the project period. The project also supported a mental health helpline offering online screening and psychosocial counselling services. Lastly, we supported over 44+ telemedicine clinics offering mental health screening and counselling services across Pakistan (esp. in AJK, KP and Sindh). 

The three main pillars of the programme were: Awareness/Promotion regarding mental health especially destigmatisation, increased access to service delivery through partners and improvement of systems. 

Purpose of evaluation: 

To carry out an independent assessment to determine whether the programme’s objectives have been achieved (and the extent to which they have), as well as an assessment of the relevance, performance and management arrangements over its implementation period.

Specific objectives:

1. Assess the intended and unintended impact made on direct participants, communities and the partners and the process used to achieve these. 
2. Evaluate the extent that the project has delivered effective, efficient, relevant, and quality interventions to targeted groups as set out in the project's logical framework. 
3. Evaluate to what extent the programme has resulted in systemic and sustainable interventions that will impact mental health outcomes beyond the programme period. 
4. Identify and document good practices and lessons learnt. Make recommendations to improve the design, implementation, and sustainability of future programmes.
