Tenders are invited for Terms of Reference (Tor) Endline Evaluation of the Shercan Project in Cambodia Scope of the evaluation Thematic scope The evaluation should combine a process evaluation and an outcome evaluation. The process component should assess whether the project was implemented as intended, including the reach, quality, fidelity, acceptability, and contextual appropriateness of implementation. The outcome component should assess short-term changes that could reasonably be expected within the project period. It should not attempt to assess long-term impact. The evaluation is expected to cover, as relevant: Health promotion activities conducted in communities, including any related tools and materials used. Training and capacity strengthening activities delivered to healthcare workers, midwives, VHSGs, CHWs, or other relevant actors. Delivery of HPV self-swab testing (in relevant implementation provinces) and VIA, including communication of results, treatment, and referral processes where relevant. Related project support, including materials, supplies, equipment, and health facility readiness. The consultant or organisation may recommend refinement of the thematic scope in the inception phase. Geographic scope The evaluation should cover project implementation areas in three provinces in Cambodia, these include Stung Treng, Ratanakiri, and Oddar Meanchey, subject to final confirmation by Malaria Consortium. The selected consultant or organisation should refine and justify the final site selection in the inception report, taking into account programme implementation, variation across sites, language needs, ethnic diversity, operational feasibility, and budget. Chronological scope The evaluation should cover the implementation period of the SHERCAN project and make use of relevant retrospective and routine data. The consultant or organisation should define and justify the final reference period in the inception report. Intended users and use of findings The primary users of the evaluation findings are expected to include the Cambodian Ministry of Health, particularly the Preventive Medicine Department (PMD) and the NCDs Technical Working Group, as key stakeholders in the programme, Malaria Consortium programme, technical, and management teams, as well as donors and relevant partners. Findings are expected to be used to: Assess project performance and accountability Understand implementation strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and enabling factors Assess acceptability, resonance and usefulness of project approaches and materials Identify short-term outcomes achieved during the project period Inform future cervical cancer programming in Cambodia and similar contexts SHERCAN Endline Evaluation ToR Evaluation criteria and indicative questions The final evaluation questions will be refined by the selected consultant or organisation during the inception phase. However, proposals should demonstrate how the evaluation is likely to address the following broad areas. A. Process and implementation To what extent was the project implemented as planned? What challenges and enabling factors affected implementation? Who was reached by health promotion, training, and screening-related activities? To what extent were trainings delivered as planned and to the intended groups? How appropriate and usable were the tools, materials, and implementation approaches? How acceptable and relevant were project activities and materials to women and men in target communities? What lessons and recommendations emerge for future programming? B. Short-term outcomes Did training participants demonstrate short-term knowledge gains or improved confidence? Do healthcare workers and community-based actors perceive that the training improved their capacity to deliver cervical cancer-related services or communication? What messages, tools, or materials do community members recall being exposed to? How well were Ministry of Health materials understood by target populations? To what extent is there evidence of short-term improvements in understanding of cervical cancer, screening, referral, and related service processes, and/or perceptions of change among the communities as a result of the activities?
