The Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW) and the Danish Family Planning Association (DFPA) are seeking a consultant to conduct an evaluation of the Women and Earth (WORTH) Initiative programme 2018-2021, and are calling for Expression of Interest (EOI) in this regard.

The WORTH Initiative is a platform created for civil society to come together to unleash creativity and develop new integrated solutions to the issues that arise from the interlinkages between gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) with environmental sustainability and climate change adaptation.

Since 2018, the WORTH Initiative has provided scholarships to selected candidates from Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, and the Philippines, through an open call process, to attend capacity building labs, where innovative and creative ideas are developed and honed. The best ideas are subsequently implemented through grant support from the WORTH Fund. At present, the Fund is supporting implementation of ten innovative ideas in all four countries.

The main objective of the final evaluation of WORTH Initiative programme is two fold

1) to assess the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness and impact of the project to ensure that the project’s objectives are reached within the agreed implementation period and document lessons learned

2) to provide recommendations for the rest of the project period and beyond.
