How to Apply for Call for Tenders: Project End Evaluation

at Humanity & Inclusion

🏢 About Humanity & Inclusion

Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is a global federation dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities in humanitarian contexts. Their 'Leave No One Behind' project series is a flagship initiative that mainstreams disability inclusion across humanitarian action, making HI a leader in this niche but critical field. Working here means contributing to a mission that ensures the most marginalized are not forgotten in crises.

About This Role

This role involves conducting an external end evaluation of the Phase 4 'Leave No One Behind!' project, assessing its performance, relevance, partnerships, and influence on global policy. The evaluation will also consider the cumulative impact of all four phases, making it a high-visibility assignment that directly informs future disability-inclusive programming. As a remote consultant, you'll have flexibility while working with a global team committed to evidence-based learning.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing project documents and conducting virtual interviews with HI staff, partners, and OPD representatives across different time zones. You'll spend time analyzing data using qualitative coding software and drafting sections of the evaluation report, while coordinating with HI's evaluation manager to ensure alignment with the terms of reference. Evenings might include participating in webinars on disability inclusion to stay current with sector trends.

🎯 Who Humanity & Inclusion Is Looking For

  • A seasoned evaluator with a post-graduate degree in social sciences, international studies, or humanitarian action, and at least 5-7 years of experience in monitoring and evaluation of humanitarian projects funded by institutional donors.
  • Proven expertise in disability-inclusive humanitarian action, including familiarity with the CRPD, accessibility standards, and working with organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs).
  • Strong methodological skills, with experience in mixed-methods evaluations (quantitative and qualitative), including remote data collection techniques and participatory approaches.
  • Excellent English writing and communication skills; French proficiency is a strong asset given HI's operations in Francophone contexts.

📝 Tips for Applying to Humanity & Inclusion

1

Tailor your CV to highlight specific evaluation projects involving disability inclusion or humanitarian action; use keywords like 'disability mainstreaming,' 'CRPD,' and 'OPD partnership.'

4

Include a sample evaluation report or a summary of a past evaluation that shows your ability to assess both programmatic results and policy influence.

Highlight any experience with remote data collection tools (e.g., Kobo, ODK, virtual interviews) and working across multiple time zones.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your specific expertise in disability-inclusive humanitarian action and how it aligns with HI's mission.", 'Your experience evaluating multi-phase projects and assessing cumulative impact.', 'Your methodological approach to evaluating policy influence and partnership effectiveness.', 'Your ability to work remotely and deliver high-quality reports on time with minimal supervision.']

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic evaluation proposal without referencing disability inclusion or the specific project context.
  • Overlooking the need for accessible evaluation materials (e.g., easy-read versions, sign language interpretation) – this is critical for HI.
