Description

We are seeking a consultant to lead in the review and updating of our Theory of Change for the Going Global Partnerships programme. Review and update the programme ToC (schematic and narrative) considering, but not limited to the following:
- A wide range of activity has taken place. It will be important to consult with a range of internal stakeholders to garner views.
- To fully reflect the two key KPIs that are relevant to the programme that have been added after the Theory of Change was completed.
- To consider how to reflect sustainability of partnerships within the Theory of Change.
- Update the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) elements in the Theory of Change. The Theory of Change addresses inclusion in broad terms. There is an overlay for gender, which needs to be updated. New overlays will need to be developed for anti-racism/decolonisation/equitable partnerships and disability to ensure the programme meets its commitment to embed/measure EDI as a core theme. The outcomes and indicators in the Monitoring framework should be updated accordingly.
- To include various new activities that have recently come into the programme, potentially broadening the scope of the programme.

We are not expecting a new Theory of Change. The focus must be on updating and refining existing logic sequences.
We envisage that the consultant will need to:
- Consult with various internal stakeholders across 11 UK and international teams throughout the process
- Produce and test drafts each of the updated schematic Theory of Change, overlays, and narrative Theory of Change
- Produce a PowerPoint (max 10 slides) summary of the updated Theory of Change to support internal communication
- Consult with internal evaluation team on implication for evaluation framework.
