Detailed description Back

L'évaluation systématique et opportune de ses programmes et activités est une priorité établie1 de la Commission européenne2. Les évaluations sont axées sur l'appréciation des réalisations, de la qualité et des résultats3 des interventions dans le contexte d'une politique de coopération en constante évolution, avec un accent de plus en plus marqué sur les approches axées sur les résultats et la contribution à la mise en oeuvre des ODD4.

De ce point de vue, les évaluations devraient chercher des éléments de preuve expliquant pourquoi, si et comment la (ou les) intervention(s) de l'UE a (ont) contribué à l'obtention de ces résultats et chercher à identifier les facteurs qui favorisent ou entravent les progrès.

Objectifs Généraux De L'évaluation

• Fournir aux services de l'Union européenne concernés, à la CEEAC, aux parties prenantes intéressées et au grand public une analyse indépendante globale de la performance et de la cohérence organisationnelle de l'Action « ECOFAC6 » en général, et en accordant une attention particulière aux opérateurs (bénéficiaires) de mise en oeuvre des engagements secondaires (modalité de sélection, pertinence des choix, répétitions successive d'engagements avec les même opérateurs, durabilité, etc.) pour évaluer ses différents niveaux de résultats en comparaison avec ses objectifs attendus, et les raisons qui expliquent ces résultats.
• Identifier les principaux enseignements, leçons apprises, conclusions et recommandations qui en découlent afin d'améliorer les interventions actuelles et futures.

Objectifs Spécifiques De L'évaluation

• Recommander des axes d'intervention pertinents pour de futures interventions de l'UE, notamment dans le cadre de NaturAfrica, dans une perspective de désengagement progressif et s'appuyant sur une logique d'intervention minimale cohérente et une stratégie de pérennisation des acquis.
• Alimenter la réflexion pour la prochaine programmation stratégique dans le secteur.
• Faire le bilan de l'organisation et des modalités de mise en oeuvre de ce programme et de la bonne prise en compte des expériences des programmes ECOFAC précédents.
• Tirer des leçons et bonnes pratiques qui pourraient être répliquées sur d'autres interventions de l'UE dans le secteur et les pays de la région.
• Contribuer à la redevabilité sur l'usage des ressources mises à disposition, les conditions contractuelles des dispositions techniques et administratives de la Décision FED/2016/ prévoyant une évaluation finale à cet effet.

Qualifications et compétences & Compétences linguistiques de l'équipe:

• Connaissance du cadre institutionnel de l'UE, en particulier des différents instruments de coopération au développement et de coopération internationale de l'UE (FED/IVCDCI), des stratégies de l'UE sur le secteur rural, et du Cadre de Résultats de l'UE (EURF/GERF).
• Excellentes compétences en matière d'analyse et de rédaction de rapports d'évaluation.
• Excellentes compétences en matière de communication, notamment en assurant la liaison avec les différentes parties prenantes.
• Connaissance des mandats de l'UE en matière d'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes et d'autonomisation des femmes et des filles, et l'approche de la coopération au développement fondée sur les droits de l'homme.
• L'équipe d'évaluation aura une maîtrise de français et de l'anglais au niveau C2 du CERF, tant à l'oral qu'à l'écrit.
• La maîtrise de langues locales sera considérée comme un atout.

Expérience Professionnelle Générale De L'équipe

• L'équipe d'évaluation doit avoir une expérience cumulée d'au moins 5 ans dans le domaine de l'évaluation, principalement dans le domaine de la coopération au développement, avec une solide expérience dans des méthodes et techniques d'évaluation rigoureuses.
• L'équipe d'évaluation doit avoir une expérience cumulée d'au moins 10 ans d'expérience professionnelle dans les domaines suivants: – gestion des ressources naturelles, – développement rural au sens agricole et/ou pastoral, – gouvernance.
• L'équipe d'évaluation doit avoir une expérience cumulée d'au moins 4 ans d'expérience professionnelle dans les domaines suivants: – développement local, – aménagement du territoire.
• L'équipe d'évaluation doit avoir une expérience cumulée d'au moins 4 ans d'expérience professionnelle dans les domaines suivants : – renforcement institutionnel et appui aux politiques publiques dans le secteur rural.
