Deliverables

Objectives of baseline and endline assessments:

• Establish baseline values for all 12 projects
• Gather relevant data/information through the baseline to support the monitoring process, decision-making, and endline assessment process.
• Establish endline values for all 12 projects
• Track the projects’ impact against intended outcomes
• Document the impacts and the learnings from project implementation
• Track any possible unintended outcomes or cases of climate maladaptation

The supplier is expected to be able to:

• develop and tailor baseline and endline assessments for each of the projects, in collaboration with the GSMA Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning team
• produce an analytical and user-friendly report of the results for each baseline and endline assessment conducted

The supplier must be able to meet the objectives and deliverables in the following phases:

Phase 1: Baseline/endline study alignment and preparation

This is an inception phase where the supplier and the GSMA team will have a series of a meetings to agree approach and design. Deliverables in this phase are as follows:

1. Review of GSMA Innovation Fund for Climate Resilience and Adaptation portfolio MEL plan and each project’s MEL framework. The supplier is expected to include measurement of performance indicators that the GSMA has developed for each of the project within the baseline and endline assessments. The supplier should assess the feasibility of the metrics and propose alternatives if needed.
2. Develop instruments or data collection tools (survey, interview, and discussion guide) for baseline and endline studies, both qualitative and quantitative approaches. For the majority of the projects, a remote phone-based survey is the preferred data collection method. However, suggestions for alternative approaches are welcome.

Deliverable 1: A brief inception report as outlined above, to include a workplan, timeline, learning questions, and proposed tools. January 2023.

Phase 2: Baseline assessments

1. Conduct data collection for baseline assessments and ensure data quality to provide good baseline data relevant to measure impact.
2. Conduct data analysis and present findings in an analytical and user-friendly report for each project.

Deliverable 2: Produce 12 baseline reports to outline the status before project implementation and the potential outcomes if the project is implemented. Expected January 2023 to July 2023.

Phase 3: Endline assessments

1. Conduct data collection for endline assessments ensure data quality to provide good data relevant to measure impact.
2. Conduct data analysis and present findings in an analytical and user-friendly report for each project.
