The project is implemented in municipalities located in West Bekaa, Upper Shouf, South Baalback and Hasbaya through a diverse set of modalities, including Grant Agreements, local contributions, service contracts with local and international partners, and direct self-implementation by the project team. Construction and infrastructure initiatives are also integrated across the three areas of action to reinforce the projects objectives. Context While internal monitoring has consistently tracked progress against the project logframe, the diverse implementation modalities have resulted in varying levels of data depth across partners.

The consultancy will conduct a mixed-methods impact evaluation to validate project indicators, investigate unmeasured outcomes and determine the added value of the ACE project, while assessing qualitative, behavioural, relational and institutional changes, perceived project contribution, sustainability and unintended effects. The evaluation will ultimately translate complex data into a clear and compelling impact narrative for stakeholders and generate learning and strategic recommendations for future resilience programming.
