The Asia Foundation (Foundation) is seeking a firm or individual consultant evaluators to conduct a mid-term Independent Progress Review (IPR) of work and results through its Program Partnership Arrangement (PPA) with DFID.

Under the PPA, the Foundation is supporting programs to improve state-society relations in conflict-affected and fragile areas of Nepal, Thailand, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Timor-Leste. The Foundation invites proposals from organizations or individual consultants with the skills and experience described in the ITT. The tender document may be downloaded at http://asiafoundation.org/about/employment/consultants.php#105. Applicants should submit completed proposals (no more than 10 pages) by Wednesday, July 18 (5:00 PM Bangkok) to tparks@asiafound.org and marnold@asiafound.org. The selected candidate will be contacted for an interview by July 25, and will be asked to submit a full budget. Final selection should be confirmed by July 30. The consultancy would have an estimated duration of approximately 12 weeks, with a final presentation to Foundation staff after the submission of the report to DFID in mid-October.
