About this request for proposal

The German Red Cross (GRC) is inviting proposals to conduct a final evaluation of the project “Em-powering the Philippine Institutions and Communities in DRRM (EPIC – Phase III)” as per instructions specified in this Request for Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and applicable annexes.

1. Background of the project

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) and German Red Cross (GRC) jointly implement a project titled “Em-powering the Philippine Institutions and Communities in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (EPIC DRRM Project – Phase III)” running until December 2023. The project seeks to contribute to the consolidation and implementation process of the Philippines institutional and operational framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) and to increase resilience of local communities. This project is the final of a three-phases programme. As the current project is ending, the partners, GRC and PRC, jointly plan for a final project evaluation in October/November 2023.

The final evaluation has four main purposes:

a) Ascertain objective and results (output, outcome, impact) and assess the relevance, effective-ness, efficiency, impact, sustainability and coherence of the intervention and whenever possible of the 3-phases programme.

b) Collect and analyze data related to selected project indicators.

c) Draw key lessons, best practices and realistic and useful recommendations to ensure sustain-ability and guide future interventions of both partners. Clearly define possible key areas for future improvement and ways and means for its achievement.

d) Inform the project stakeholders and donor on the project achievements, non-achievements and potential impact, as an accountable measure.

GRC supports this final evaluation as part of the Social Structure Fund (SSF) Project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
