About the Consortium The MUB Project is implemented by a consortium of three organizations combining international expertise, national-level advocacy, and a broad grassroots network. See You Foundation (SYF) brings over 40 years of experience in disability mainstreaming and inclusion services across seven countries, including Rwanda. SYF maintains strong partnerships with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ensures all programs meet rigorous quality standards. Its competitive advantages include cross-country learning, co-creation with OPDs, and the ability to co-fund long-term initiatives. Rwanda National Union of the Deaf (RNUD) contributes 34 years of specialized experience advocating for deaf and hard-of-hearing persons nationwide. A full member of the World Federation of the Deaf, RNUD has successfully advocated for the recognition of Rwanda Sign Language as an official language and has received funding from UNDP and the Disability Rights Fund. The Umbrella of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities in the Fight against HIV/AIDS and for Health Promotion (UPHLS), established in 2006, UPHLS is a national umbrella organization legally registered with the Rwanda Governance Board, bringing together thirteen OPDs with operational offices in each province. UPHLS works to ensure that persons with disabilities, women, youth, and other marginalized groups actively participate in community decision-making, access public services equitably, and hold duty bearers accountable. BACKGROUND The Menya Ukorane Ubuzima Bwiza (MUB)Project, funded by the European Union, aims to promote the rights of persons with disabilities, leading to their active citizenship, self-reliance, and independence. The project is implemented by UPHLS in partnership with See You Foundation/Netherlands (as the lead organization) and the Rwanda National Union of the Deaf (RNUD). While Rwanda has made significant strides in promoting disability rights, youth with disabilities continue to face challenges, including limited access to inclusive education, employment, and healthcare. Furthermore, service providers often lack adequate knowledge of disability-specific needs, rights, and effective communication methods. The MUB Project directly addresses these gaps by strengthening the capacity of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), improving disability-inclusive service delivery, and fostering evidence-based advocacy at district and national levels. Throughout its two-year implementation in the Rubavu, Musanze, Huye, and Gatsibo Districts, the project has generated substantial data through baseline assessments, monitoring, stakeholder engagements, and learning exchanges involving OPDs, TVET institutions, health centers, and local authorities. As the project enters its third and final year, there is a critical need to: Measure its impact and sustainability through a final external evaluation that objectively assesses results against the initial objectives and baseline data. Consolidate advocacy learnings by producing a dedicated recommendation report that captures successful strategies, outcomes, and knowledge from the projects lobby and advocacy activities with OPDs. This consultancy is commissioned to fulfil these two needs, ensuring accountability for project outcomes and creating practical resources to inform future disability-inclusive programming and advocacy efforts 4. Purpose of the consultancy The purpose of this consultancy is twofold: To conduct a final project evaluation, including a structured endline survey, that assesses the MUB Projects overall performance, impact, and sustainability against its objectives and baseline data. To document the impact of the project by capturing the differences between the baseline and endline survey in an Endline Report and capture the lessons learned and successful activities of the project. To document and analyze the projects advocacy component, producing a standalone Advocacy Recommendation Report to capture lessons learned for future programming. 5. Objectives To assess the extent to which the MUB Project achieved its planned objectives, outcomes, and outputs, measuring impact, relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability (Endline Evaluation Report). To document, analyze, and synthesize the processes, successes, challenges, and lessons learned from the lobby and advocacy activities undertaken by and with OPDs under the project (Advocacy Recommendation Report). To disseminate the final Advocacy Recommendation Report in English and a synopsis and the lessons learned in Kinyarwanda. 6.
