Details

Within the framework of the Pathways for Better Education and Livelihoods Programme, a 4-years (2024 – 2027) grant supporting "Displacement-affected young people to continue their education and/or increase their income for improved wellbeing”, The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is currently seeking expressions of interest from individuals and/or teams to conduct an external review with a dual scope: assess the extent to which the programme has achieved results to date and as learning exercise, to inform all stakeholders involved and to design the new phase.

Main lines of inquiry are:

- Does the way the programme is designed create the conditions for young people to achieve good outcomes and decide their own direction? - What has changed for young people, why has it held for some and not for others, and what do they credit for it? - What constrains young people's transitions in these contexts and which NRC adaptations have made a difference? Brief outline of Project: Pathways for Better Education and Livelihoods Programme assists youth in 6 country operations (Ethiopia, Myanmar, Palestine, Niger, El Salvador and Honduras) with accessing learning opportunities and improving livelihoods opportunities though strengthening youth community engagement and ownership and through working with a wide arrange of local actors. Full details and terms of reference are available at NRC website How to apply

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this livelihoods & enterprise development opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
