Request for Proposal (RFP) 

For 

Consultancy Service to conduct the endline survey of SOAR Education project (Bezos FF).

Background: CARE is a leading humanitarian organization committed to saving lives and fighting poverty and social injustice. It has been working in over 100 countries across the globe. Working alongside a vast network of partners globally, CARE works to rebuild and improve the lives of the most disadvantaged, poor, and vulnerable communities.

CARE started its operations in Nepal in 1978 and is one of the first international aid agencies to work in the country. During the last 4 decades, CARE Nepal has been working with the most vulnerable communities of Nepal to address the issues of poverty and social injustice, along with challenging harmful social practices, building capacities and empowering livelihoods. Today CARE Nepal works to address systemic and structural causes of poverty and social injustice such as discrimination based on gender, caste, class, ethnicity, or geography. CARE supports humanitarian actions to address vulnerabilities from climate change and natural disasters. CARE works with marginalized women and adolescent girls to ensure their empowerment, wellbeing and dignity through social transformation and access to quality social and economic services.

SOAR Education project (Bezos FF): CARE’s SOAR Education program provides new learning opportunities to formerly out-of-school adolescent girls through an accelerated learning approach.  This accelerated learning program goes beyond traditional catch-up programs which focus on academic subjects such as literacy, math, and science, and it uniquely adds in the development of critical life and leadership skills. The purpose of this project is to support the implementation and scale-up of CARE’s Udaan/SOAR program in the Madesh, Lumbini and Karnali Provinces of Nepal. The project work takes place at two levels: the first is direct support to adolescent girls who are attending the Udaan Accelerated Learning Centers. The second level of work is at a systemic level, where CARE will work with Ministry officials and local government to adopt this accelerated curriculum for broader scaling within the country.

CARE Nepal is seeking a qualified and eligible consultancy firm to provide consultancy services for conducting the endline evaluation survey of SOAR Education project (Bezos FF) in Siraha and Surkhet district.
