The evaluation team will be required to conduct an externally-led,
summative evaluative and strategic review of the FACT-Dialogue (2021-2026). The
evaluation will examine the extent to which FACT effectively achieved its
outcomes as well as determine and assess factors, enabling conditions, and
lessons learnt in achieving these goals (cf. supra).
The evaluation shall include, but not be limited to, the following
four phases: planning, data collection, analysis and reporting. In the section
below is an outline of the specific responsibilities of the evaluation team in
each phase. These 4 phases break into two large blocks:
Inception block (planning of the evaluation). The review team will work independently to design an evaluation plan,
data collection tools and analytic frameworks, and present it to
FACT-Secretariat (CIFOR, RA), the FACT-Dialogue co-chairs (UK, Malaysia [tbc])
for feedback before its finalization (inception phase).
Review block (data collection, analysis and reporting). The review team will be required to collect and synthesize existing
information against the key evaluation questions, assess the need for then
further remote or face-to-face data collection to address information gaps as
needed before compiling the evaluation report, as well as generate a learning
process based on sharing preliminary findings and obtaining feedback from
others. CIFOR’s project team, members of CIFOR’s Quality for Impact team (Q4I) and
core partners will support the evaluation team to understand the structure of
the FACT-Dialogue and assist with the collection of all data needed. It is
expected that key representatives of FACT member countries will be interviewed
by the evaluation team.
