Information on Participatory Review and Reflection Process
groups/organizations across Vietnam, to mobilize stakeholders at local and national levels for policy changes where the roles and participation of youth in building sustainable, effective, and equitable communities are more clearly recognized.
This reference provision defines the objectives, expected results, budget plans, work plans, and related requirements for this activity.
According to the project plan, after 3 years of implementation, the Participatory Review and Reflection Process of the project will be conducted to assess the achieved results against the committed indicators in the project documents, as well as to evaluate successful models, best practices, quality, appropriateness, effectiveness, impact, sustainability, and lessons learned for the next phase and similar projects. The evaluation results will be shared to relevant parties, especially youth volunteer
1.Objectives: To assess the extent to which the project objectives have been achieved, and to generate reliable and actionable evidence to inform lessons learned for the design and implementation of similar initiatives in the future, including an assessment of the project’s effectiveness, impact, and sustainability.
Evaluation Activities:
- Basic Principles:
• Reliability of evaluation through the use of independent experts with appropriate expertise.
• Transparency of the evaluation process.
• Fairness and independence of the evaluation process.
• Involvement of stakeholders in the evaluation process, ensuring diverse perspectives.
• Utility of findings and recommendations through timely, relevant, and concise presentation of information to decision- makers.
- Focus:
The Participatory Review and Reflection Process will include all necessary activities to obtain information reflecting the results and impact of the project. The focus of the end- ofproject evaluation must meet the following requirements:
• Effectiveness: To what extent have the activities met the objectives and results set forth in the project? Has the project been implemented effectively?
• Appropriateness: Was the project designed in a suitable manner to achieve its objectives?
• Sustainability: Are the results achieved so far sustainable?
• Value: Has the project achieved the predetermined objectives at a reasonable cost?

Methodology
Based on the identified priorities and detailed work plans developed during the inception phase, the evaluation team will collect all necessary data and information using only qualitative methods.
The Participatory Review and Reflection Process will employ a participatory approach, allowing all relevant stakeholders to participate in the process. This aims to ensure a comprehensive reflection of the opinions of various partners involved in project implementation, especially the participation roles of youth and vulnerable communities.
Consulting experts will be invited to specify the proposed data collection and analysis methods in more detail, which may include, but are not limited to, the following proposals:
- Qualitative method/ Field research: The evaluation will apply participatory qualitative methods, including in- depth interviews (IDIs) and group discussions, engaging key stakeholders at national and local levels. Data collection will be conducted in three project locations: Lam Dong Province, Vinh Long Province, and Ca Mau Province.
- Secondary document research: Evaluation consultants will study relevant secondary documents, including project documents, project research reports, and other related documents.
The consultant is kindly requested to submit their CV via VietnamWorks and be prepared to provide (1) a Technical Proposal and (2) a Financial Proposal, which will be formally requested by the project team at a later stage
