2. 2. Consultancy Task: Evaluation Management Unit for the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund
(AECF)
IMPORTANT DATES:
Announced Date November 20, 2013
Proposal Due Date January 06, 2014
General Background
The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), acting on behalf of the African Enterprise
Challenge Fund Committee, seeks to appoint an Evaluation Management Unit (EMU) to carry out
the independent evaluation of the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF). The EMU will be
appointed to conduct a Mid-term Evaluation of the AECF in 2014 and a Final Evaluation of the
AECF in 2017 or a later date as determined by the AECF Committee.
Description of the AECF
The AECF is a US$200m challenge fund for agribusiness in Africa. It is a special partnership
initiative of AGRA that supports its vision of “A food secure and prosperous Africa through rapid
smallholder agricultural growth and transformation”. The Fund is hosted by the Alliance for a
Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), based in Nairobi, and is supported by the governments of
Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK as well as the International Fund for
Agricultural Development (IFAD). The Fund Manager (FM) is KPMG Africa Development Advisory
Services and partners. See http://www.aecfafrica.org/
Purpose and Objectives of the evaluation
The purpose of the independent evaluation is to assess the effectiveness (outputs to outcomes) of
the Programme, its achievement of impact and the efficiency (inputs to outputs) of the Fund
Manager in delivering the Programme. However, as this Programme involves deploying a set of
interventions in a number of differing environments, the scope of the evaluation must go beyond
simply assessing implementation. The evaluation will need to reinforce the process of learning
from interventions and test the validity of all components of the theory of change.
Scope
The scope of the evaluation includes all past and planned AECF interventions in all participating
countries. The evaluation work is divided into the following components:
• Evaluation Design Phase in early 2014
• Mid-term Evaluation in 2014
• Final Evaluation in 2017
