The initiative builds on Oxfam’s expertise in using a right- based and gender responsive approach and has a focus on reaching vulnerable women and young people in Jordan.

The evaluation will assess the overall success of the project in achieving its intended outcomes and ultimate goal, measuring the extent to which young women and adolescent girls have experienced enhanced agency, access to gender-responsive SRH services, and improved enjoyment of their health-related human rights. Using a feminist Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (FMEAL) approach, the evaluation will ensure that findings capture participants’ lived realities and gendered experiences. The results will provide evidence-based insights on the project’s effectiveness, relevance, and sustainability, offering actionable recommendations to inform future SRHR programming and strategic decision-making.
The methodology of the evaluation will be as follows:
Inception Report: As part of the evaluation, the consultant will prepare an inception report outlining the proposed methodology, detailed evaluation matrix, risk analysis, sampling strategy, data collection tools, and detailed work plan, explicitly describing how both quantitative and qualitative data collection will be conducted according to the planned timeline.
Feminist MEAL Approach: Throughout the evaluation, a feminist Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (FMEAL) approach will be applied to ensure gender sensitivity, inclusivity, and stakeholder engagement, capturing the lived experiences of young women, adolescent girls, and marginalized groups.
Consultants are to show how they will take ethical considerations into consideration, using a “Do no harm” approach when working with project participants. This should be shown in the risk analysis in the inception report.
Consultants should define essential requirements for effective and safe data management. Consider the following open-access Oxfam policies:
Oxfam Digital safeguarding Policy (Arabic) (English)
Full informed consent is to be obtained from every participant involved
Consultants should be familiar with a feminist MEAL approach and include specific suggestions on how to apply it to data collection, analysis and validation. Consider the following open-access resources:

Guidance note on feminist MEAL
Feminist knowledge strategy
Desk review: The consultant will conduct a desk review of project documents, tools, reports, and data related to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in Jordan, with a focus on the project’s objectives, outcomes, and results.
The evaluation will follow a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis.
Quantitative Data Collection: The quantitative data collection will take place in mid-February and will be conducted by the consultant’s data collectors via phone with a sample size of (n=367). To ensure proper protection of beneficiary information, Oxfam partner (Forearms of Change Center to Enable Community) will supervise the data collection process. Surveys and relevant project data will be used to assess the project’s impact against its intended outcomes, and the results of this quantitative analysis will guide the development of the qualitative data collection tools.
Qualitative Data Collection: Based on the quantitative findings, the consultant will design and conduct qualitative data collection in April, including interviews, focus group discussions, and stakeholder consultations at project sites in Amman, Irbid, and Az Zarqa. The sample size will aim to reach data saturation. In total of 11 FGDs, 5 in Amman governorate, 3 in Az Zarqa and 3 in Irbid. This will allow for an in-depth understanding of outcomes, experiences, and contextual factors influencing project success.
Data Analysis: Quantitative data will be analyzed to measure the project’s effectiveness, relevance, and impact. Qualitative data will undergo thematic analysis to identify trends, challenges, best practices, and lessons learned.
Final Deliverables: The evaluation will culminate in a final report presenting key findings, conclusions, and actionable recommendations, accompanied by a presentation to project stakeholders. The final report must include the following sections:
