Vacancy closed: Seeking review of IPPFoRB

The Norwegian Helsinki Committee (NHC) and IPPForb are seeking TO CONDUCT A REVIEW TO ASSESS IMPLEMENTATION AND GOAL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE PROJECT During the period 2018-2020.

In 2016 the Norwegian Helsinki Committee (NHC) and the International Panel of Parliamentarians for Freedom of Religion or Belief (IPPFoRB) entered into a partnership covering the work and activities of the IPPFoRB. The NHC currently has two three-years’ project agreements with the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) which are earmarked support for the work of the IPPFoRB. The overall budget for the whole period of the project is NOK 21 329 610.

The NHC and IPPFoRB are seeking a review that can assess the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, outcomes, potential long-term impact, and sustainability of the activities of the project during the period 2018-2020.

The purpose of the review is to assess 1) implementation of IPPFoRB activities and outcomes; 2) results or effects of the project, as designed and implemented, on the target groups and; 3) the added value of the NHC.

In addition, this review will assess the effects experienced by the project’s main target group, i.e. members of parliament from around the globe, who are members of the IPPFoRB network.

The main audience for the review will be the NHC donors (MFA), the NHC board and leadership, and the IPPFoRB Steering Group and Secretariat. The purpose is to strengthen the work through documenting results, providing recommendations on adjustments needed for the further implementation of the project, and offering insights and recommendations to support the development of a new strategy for the IPPFoRB and its work beyond 2020.

The NHC and IPPFoRB are seeking an inclusive and participatory process that involves engagement and interaction with the both the NHC and IPPFoRB, as well as partners and target groups in the project.
