Project’s Final Evaluation | AHEAD Bangladesh

The European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) (hereafter: the “Evaluation commissioner”) is recruiting a Consultant or team of consultants (hereafter: the “Evaluator”) to conduct an external evaluation of the AHEAD Bangladesh project (hereafter: the ‘Project’), aimed at supporting national stakeholders – in particular civil society actors and political parties – to participate meaningfully in the electoral process as independent election observers, as candidates or newly elected representatives, or in enhancing civic and voter education particularly for the youth. Overall, the project aimed at enhancing the inclusion of underrepresented groups like women, youth, national minorities, and persons with disabilities, and at minimising the risk of electoral violence. 

The evaluation is set to take place between September and December 2026. The evaluation should assess the extent to which the project contributed to strengthening Bangladesh’s democratic ecosystem during a critical electoral period. The primary users of the analysis will be EPD and its consortium partners, as well as the European Union Delegation (EUD) in Bangladesh, with lessons learned to be shared with AHEAD Bangladesh affiliated entities and national beneficiaries.

Interested bidders are requested to submit a technical and financial offer which will be assessed by an Evaluation Steering Committee against the criteria listed in Annex 1. Please find Annex 1 below at the end of the TOR.  

The application package is to be sent at the latest by 20th of July 2026, 23:59 CET to [email protected] and [email protected].
