Consultancy Service for Project External Evaluation

From January 2013 to December 2014, LIN, in partnership with the Social Development Training Centre (SDTC) and Gail Nordheim Consulting are implementing a two-year project, funded by Irish Aid, to build the capacity of Vietnamese Not-for-Profit Organizations (VNPOs) in Ho Chi Minh City.

After nearly two years of project implementation, the implementing organizations and our donor feel the need to conduct an external evaluation of the project. The evaluation will help to assess the project’s impact, which is focused on organizational capacity development of Vietnamese not-for-profit organizations (VNPOs). It will also assess the relevance of the project outputs and outcomes to the goal and objectives of the project.

The Evaluation will seek to explain to LIN, LIN’s project partners, Irish Aid and LIN’s key stakeholders the extent to which our project succeeded or failed and the reasons why. The project’s effectiveness, impact on the community and its potential for long-term sustainability should also be considered. The evaluation will assess progress against the results based framework, as agreed with Irish Aid, report lessons learned and make recommendations on how the project could be improved, expanded and/or replicated.
