Prepare an evaluation report that includes: An overall assessment of the performance of the PDP investment based on Australian development goals & value for money, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability; An individual assessment of the three PDPs against the four aid policy tests in the Government’s aid policy, as well as the Health for Development Strategy A list of any challenges or issues arising from the reports reviewed, including those relating to risk and ethics, monitoring and evaluation, product access, regulatory issues, etc. Recommendations on options for future investment in PDPs that will maximise value for money and impact, including mechanism for managing the call, target areas, risk management, governance and reporting/M&E. Prepare the design of the next round of calls for grants: Using the findings of the evaluation and discussions with DFAT on the options for future investment, prepare a design document that outline the parameters for DFAT’s future PDP investments, including the strategy for the ‘Call for Proposal’. The design document will set out the clear logic between the outcomes sought, intended activities and implementation arrangements, and how progress will be measured, including M&E framework, performance indicators, & risk assessment. The design should also recommend an assessment process including criteria to assess applications for the new PDP investment and the recommended set-up of a grant review panel. DFAT will prepare the guidelines for the call for proposals using the information in the design document. Evaluation report and recommendations, including options, for the next call for proposals (mid-August 2017) Design for next round of grant proposals (late-August 2017) Proposed number of days required for each activity: Performance Outcomes and Deliverables, with dates:
