Jordan Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Activity

Makanati Rapid Mid-term Evaluation

About The Kaizen Company The Kaizen Company, a Tetra Tech Company, is an international development consulting firm and an incubator for innovative, scalable solutions that address emerging market challenges and opportunities. Our proven solutions catalyze locally driven organizational and institutional performance improvements and establish communities of practice that facilitate peer-to-peer learning and the achievement of shared goals. We aspire to transform the nature and impact of development assistance and work to strengthen organizations and institutions through innovative approaches to organizational development, reform, and change.

Jordan Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Activity (MELA) Overview

MELA is designed to ensure USAID’s activities in Jordan achieve their intended results through monitoring and evaluation, strategic assessments, and USAID’s Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting approach (CLA). Kaizen will help USAID/Jordan create a dynamic learning environment among development actors, focused on innovation, quality, and knowledge sharing. Through the Kaizen Accelerator, a rapid procurement mechanism, a cohort of Jordanian firms will work with Kaizen's MELA team to successfully deliver activities while simultaneously strengthening their management and compliance systems. The Kaizen approach will provide USAID with high-quality MEL services across its portfolio, build the capacity of local MEL institutions, and ensure programs meaningfully incorporate local participation. The MELA team will ensure program sustainability by building the technical and institutional capacity of one or more local firms that can manage the follow-on MEL Activity in the future.

Makanati Rapid Mid-Term Evaluation

Jordan ranks near the bottom of all surveyed countries―138 out of 153 nations – on measures of gender disparities. According to the 2020 Global Gender Gap Index, female labor market participation is 14 percent, making it among the lowest in the world. Jordanian women’s lives are constrained by gender-related bias and discrimination, restrictive social norms, and a discriminatory legal and business environment.

To address these barriers, the USAID Women’s Economic Empowerment and Leadership Activity (Makanati) will incorporate an inclusive, market-driven approach to prepare and connect women to the labor market, promote widespread mindset change, and improve workplace environments to allow women to fully participate in the economy.

The overall purpose of Makanati is to strengthen the enabling environment to increase women’s waged employment in the private sector and leadership in both the public and private sectors. Makanati will initially target the tourism sector, transport and logistics, media and creative industries, in addition to the industry sector, where there is a need and an opportunity for women to access an enabled environment labor market.

Makanati contributes to change in vast, complex, interlinked, mutually-reinforcing spheres—job market, workforce environment, and sociocultural norms—to increase women’s access to waged employment in the private sector and leadership opportunities in both the private and public sectors.

OBJECTIVE

As Makanati has entered its third year of implementation, the Mission has requested the USAID/Jordan Monitoring. Evaluation, and Learning Activity (MELA) to conduct a midterm performance evaluation of Makanati to inform their year four and five workplan. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide recommendations for USAID and guide Makanati’s workplan development and implementation for the remainder of the Activity.

The USAID Mission is recruiting an expert consultant to be the
