Job Title:\u00a0National Consultant- Good Governance
\nLocation<\/strong>: Abuja
\nStarting Date : 29-Nov-2017
\nDuration of Initial Contract: 24 Working days
\nExpected Duration of Assignment: 24 Working days<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong>
\nThe Third United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF III-2014-2017) is the common strategic framework for the operational activities of the United Nations System (UNS) in Nigeria. It provides a collective, coherent and integrated UNS response to the country\u2019s priorities and needs, expressed in long term vision 20:2020, the Transformational Agenda and other development policies expected to transform Nigeria to one of the top 20 economies by 2020.<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s development priorities are also expressed within the framework of the MDGs and other commitments, goals and targets of other international conventions and human rights instruments of the United Nations.\u00a0 In line with UNDG and UNDAF M&E guidelines, it is mandatory for Country teams to conduct end of cycle evaluation for accountability and learning, and improving performance of subsequent UNDAFs.<\/p>\n

In 2016, the UNCT conducted a light mid-term assessment of the UNDAF III to inform the formulation of the new partnership framework. The UNCT has therefore, commenced the process of evaluating UNDAF III with the Federal and State Governments.<\/p>\n

The end of cycle evaluation of the UNDAF III is a joint UN process, conducted with national partners, to assess the progress made towards Nigeria\u2019s development priorities selected within the UNDAF. It will also take stock of the environment within which the UN is operating and assess the effectiveness of UNDAF III as a tool of support to the achievement of national priorities and enhanced coordination and harmonization among all UN agencies.<\/p>\n

The UN and Nigerian Government will review the results achieved from activities supported by the UNDAF III and the appropriateness of its planned results and strategies. The evaluation provides a unique opportunity to assess achievements against the planned results; and the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of UNDAF III outcomes, interventions and strategies.<\/p>\n

This assessment will identify issues and gaps, and proffer strategic and usable recommendations that the UNS and its partners will utilize to improve the strategies, implementation mechanisms, and the management efficiency of the new United Nations Sustainable Development and Partnership Framework (UNSDPF-2018-2022).<\/p>\n

The United Nations System in Nigeria is therefore, seeking the services of qualified independent consultants to lead the conduct of this Evaluation. Firms and companies are also encouraged to apply for this opportunity with the view of recruiting experts for this assignment.
