<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Colleagues and Friends,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The UNDP Viet Nam seeks 01 national consultant to work with

Opportunities for the Rural Poor&#8221;.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The multi-agency joint programme (JP) &#8216;Green
Production and Trade to Increase Income and Employment Opportunities for the
Rural Poor &#8217; aims to increase income and employment opportunities for
crafts raw materials growers/collectors and grassroots handicrafts and
furniture producers. The project targets about 4,800 poor farming and crafts
producing households in four Northern provinces of Vietnam: Thanh Hoa, Nghe An,
Hoa Binh and Phu Tho, including 1,400 families from ethnic minorities such as
the Thai, Muong and H&#8217;mong.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The programme is funded by the MDG Achievement Fund. The
MDG-F Monitoring and Evaluation strategy instruct that an independent mid-term
evaluation financed by the MDG-F Secretariat should be conducted for all joint
programmes lasting more than 2 years. Mid-term evaluations are highly formative
in nature and seek improved implementation of the programmes during their
second phase of implementation. They also seek and generate knowledge,
identifying best practices and lessons learned that could be transferred to
other programmes.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The midterm evaluation is carried out by an international
evaluator recruited directly by the MDG Secretariat, which is supported by a
national evaluator. The National Evaluator will work under the guidance and
direct supervision of the international evaluator to whom he/she reports.
He/She will help facilitate the evaluation field visit in conjunction with the
Programme Management Unit (PMU), accompany the International Evaluator in
meetings in Hanoi and on missions to Programme field sites. The Evaluation Team
will work in close collaboration with lead Government counterpart Vietrade,
Vietcraft, UNDP, the PMU, in addition to all other participating UN agencies
and Implementing Partners.<o:p></o:p></p>
