Are you experienced in programme impact review and research? We need you on board to support with this consultancy!
Background
HelpAge International works with partners and a diverse global network of more than 170 organizations over 90 countries, supporting millions of older people to live safe, dignified, and healthy lives. Through our partnership and collaborations, we work to ensure the inclusion of older people across society and strive to deliver a just and fair world for everyone, whatever their age.
The Accountability and Fulfilment for Older Persons to Raise their Dignity Programme (AFFORD) was delivered from January 2017 to June 2024 (7 years) across four countries; Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania.
The programme had a focus on four key outcomes;
Outcome 1: Older women and men in the targeted countries, including the most marginalised, benefit from increased access to nationally owned, appropriate, inclusive and effective social protection systems.
Outcome 2: National social and health protection policies, public governance systems and structures at all levels are more responsive and accountable to older women and men's rights and needs.
Outcome 3: Civil Societies and their networks, communities demonstrate more supportive attitudes and actions to promote the voice of older persons in attainment of their rights and entitlements.
Review Goal and Approach
The impact review helps us understand our approach's impact and identify lasting and significant changes in the lives of older people, relating to their well-being, dignity and voice. The length and wide-reaching nature as well as strong MEAL data available make the programme an exciting option for review, showcasing HelpAge's multi-layer approach across local, national and regional levels.
Using existing data and reports from across the life of the project we aim to conduct a meta-analysis to answer the following questions;
