The Donkey Sanctuary is looking for an experienced and reputable organisation / individual consultant to conduct an impact evaluation of the 25-year partnership between The Donkey Sanctuary and Addis Ababa University (1995-2020). The impact evaluation will shed light on whether the partnering endeavour’s activities directly or indirectly had an effect (positive or negative) on the target groups or focus area, and whether this effect can legitimately be attributed to the intervention.
The main objectives of the impact evaluation are to understand:
The Donkey Sanctuary requires the work to be completed by no later than 30th November 2022. However, it is desirable for the work to be completed prior to this, and as soon as is practically possible. It is expected that the total cost of the Impact Evaluation will fall within the range of £10,000-£20,000.

Methodology Requirements
The work will be carried out in Ethiopia (Bishoftu and surrounding districts), and our preference will be for an Ethiopian-based Consultant to carry this out (but we still welcome proposals that involve an alternative way to deliver the required outcomes, should this not be possible).
The different tasks involved in this assessment will require a combination of primary and secondary data collection and analysis, meetings with TDS and AAU project team members, and engagement with diverse stakeholders in Ethiopia (including, CVMA graduates, service providers, and donkey owners and users). Depending on the health and security status in Ethiopia meetings may be conducted remotely.
Consultants should be prepared to work with a diverse range of people to collect information pertinent to the impact evaluation. Safety and security strategies surrounding Covid-19 and conflict/civil unrest should be considered and included in proposal. Consultants should be able to meet with and report to The Donkey Sanctuary staff virtually and in person in Addis Ababa.
PLEASE NOTE – it is important that you do not approach Addis Ababa University in connection with this requirement, unless and until a formal contract has been entered into. If you do approach AAU about this requirement at any stage prior to being contracted to complete the work, you will be automatically excluded from this process.
Consultants should consider the following further considerations:
