Tender Description
DFAT (with assistance from CCSU) will engage an independent review team to design, plan and conduct the review, present an aide memoire and to develop a review report based on a document review and appropriate consultations.
Review Objectives
In the context of a possible new program, the objectives of the review are to assess and make recommendations with regard to:
• Relevance, Effectiveness and Efficiency of the Program.
• The appropriateness of program implementation modalities and their impact on program delivery
• The theory of change and monitoring and evaluation approach in the Investment Design Document
The review will be guided by the following key questions:
1. To what extent were the partners and activities selected appropriate (ie did we select the right partners in the right locations on the right issues?)
2. To what extent have the program outcomes been achieved, or are in progress to being achieved?
3. What were the key factors contributing to successful achievement of outcomes?
4. Has the program selected options for implementation that use resources efficiently compared to alternatives?
5. How appropriate are CCTCPs implementation arrangements in relation to the outcomes sought?
6. To what extent have the program’s monitoring and evaluation and communications arrangements been effective in reporting achievements and progress and in supporting achievement of the program goals?
7. Are changes required to the current CCTCP Theory of Change, M&E, and governance arrangements, to ensure a better alignment with the CCTCP’s goals/outcomes and operating context?
8. What are the key lessons and recommendations for any follow-on program?
9. To what extent, has CCTCP integrated GEDSI considerations across the program and how could this be improved?
Approach and Workplan
The review will be conducted over 8-12 weeks commencing late 2022. The Review Team Leader will meet regularly with CYB throughout the assignment to periodically review progress and discuss key issues and challenges. The review process must be disability and socially inclusive, gender responsive and strongly driven by consultation with key stakeholders. Where possible, results should be reported with separate sections for each funding source (Indo-Pacific projects (CYB Base funding), Mekong-Australia Partnership (CY2 – MAP), and Critical Tech Standards in Southeast Asia (TSS funding). Findings and recommendations will be based on a range of sources including (but not limited to) interviews and discussions with key stakeholders. Interviews and discussion will mostly be online, but DFAT may consider proposals to hold in-person consultations in key locations.
Where possible, the Review Team should coordinate with the concurrent Mekong-Australia Partnership: Strategic Review.
The review is to be conducted in line with DFAT’s Monitoring and Evaluation Standards that meet DFAT’s accessibility requirements and in line with DFAT’s Ethical Research and Evaluation Guidance
The Review Report may be published on DFAT’s website.
The proposed work plan for the Review Team is as follows:
Preferred Timeframe
1. Inception meeting with DFAT and CCSU on scope and key questions November 2022
2. Compile documentation and notify partners December 2022
3. Preparation of Review Plan December 2022

5. Aide Memoire presentation of initial findings to DFAT for discussion January 2023
