- The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme Ex-Pillar 4 (CAADP-XP4) Project is a flagship initiative under the Development-Smart Innovation through Research in Agriculture (DeSIRA) initiative, funded by the European Union and managed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). Implemented by a consortium of leading regional and sub-regional organizations—FARA, AFAAS, ASARECA, CCARDESA, and CORAF, the project seeks to strengthen agricultural research and innovation systems across Its overarching goal is to achieve a science-led, climate-relevant transformation of agriculture, in alignment with the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) framework.
The CAADP-XP4 project has delivered critical interventions across five key output areas: strengthening the capacities of implementing organizations, establishing multi-stakeholder partnerships, formulating climate-relevant policies, enhancing knowledge management, and improving planning, coordination, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Throughout its implementation, the project has driven initiatives that contribute meaningfully to Africa’s agricultural transformation, including the development of innovative climate resilient solutions, the promotion of gender equity and youth inclusion, and the strengthening of institutional capacity at regional and national levels.
As the project approaches its completion, the Endline Survey represents a critical milestone in assessing its outcomes, overall impact, and key lessons learned. Building on the baseline study conducted in 2020, the survey is designed to measure progress against established indicators, with particular emphasis on gender equity, youth empowerment, and institutional capacity strengthening. The findings will be instrumental in finalizing the 2024 CAADP-XP4 Report, which will serve as the definitive documentation of the project’s achievements and contributions to agricultural development in Africa.
The findings will play a pivotal role in informing and finalizing the 2024 CAADP-XP4 Report, which will serve as the authoritative record of the project’s achievements and its contributions to advancing agricultural development across Africa.
The consultancy responsible for conducting the endline survey will employ a rigorous and methodologically sound approach that ensures full comparability with the baseline study and alignment with the project’s logical framework. The primary objective of this assignment is to design and implement a comprehensive endline evaluation of the CAADP-XP4 Project, systematically assessing progress against planned outputs, outcomes and impacts as articulated in the project results framework.
The evaluation will generate robust evidence on performance, effectiveness, and contribution to intended development results, enabling measurement of change over time and validation of the project’s theory of change.
