Project Title: Strengthening Communication, Coordination, and Improving Local Capacities and Partnerships in Libya
Libya has faced years of political instability, fragmented governance, and restricted civic space, creating significant challenges for humanitarian and development actors. Civil society organizations (CSOs), while critical for promoting rights and democratic participation, continue to operate under severe constraints, including unclear legal frameworks, limited resources, and shrinking operational space. International NGOs (INGOs) also face bureaucratic and security barriers that hinder effective coordination and advocacy.
To address these challenges, the Libya INGO Forum (LIF) an independent network of INGOs hosted by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) implemented the project “Strengthening Communication, Coordination, and Improving Local Capacities and Partnerships in Libya” from September 2023 to August 2025. The project was funded by the European Union and designed to safeguard the rights of vulnerable populations by improving coordination among INGOs and CSOs and promoting evidence-based advocacy.
The project’s overall objective is to strengthen the space for civil society engagement and coordination in Libya. Its specific objectives include:
Promote civil rights, notably for the most vulnerable, through evidence-based advocacy. Strengthen inter-NGO operational, policy and advocacy coordination. Strengthening local capacity through promotion of organizational.
Key activities under the project included:
Through these efforts, the project aimed to create a more coherent, inclusive, and sustainable coordination environment, enabling INGOs and CSOs to advocate effectively for the rights of vulnerable populations and contribute to Libya’s transition toward stability.
The end-line evaluation will be implemented in March–April 2026. The scope of the evaluation is the entire project and should cover achievements across all workstreams:
Given the complex operating environment and potential access constraints, LIF/IRC will inform the consultant about security and feasibility before data collection begins and agree on appropriate methods, including remote options where necessary.
The overall objective of the evaluation is to provide an independent assessment of project performance and results, generate lessons learned, and offer actionable recommendations for future programming.
Specific Objectives of the Evaluation
The evaluation will be guided by the OECD-DAC evaluation criteria and cross-cutting principles, adapted to the specific nature of the Libya INGO Forum (LIF) intervention, which focuses on coordination, advocacy, legal and regulatory analysis, CSO inclusion, and localization.
The evaluator will assess performance at impact, outcome, and output levels, in line with the project Logical Framework.
Evaluation Criterion:
1. Performance Against Project Objectives (Results)
Objectives: Assess the extent to which the project achieved its intended impact, outcomes, and outputs as defined in the Logical Framework.
Key Evaluation Questions
2. Relevance
Objectives: Assess the alignment of the intervention with stakeholder needs, priorities, and the evolving Libyan context.
Key Evaluation Questions
3. Effectiveness
Objectives: Assess how well project activities contributed to achieving intended outcomes.
Key Evaluation Questions
4. Efficiency
Objectives: Assess whether resources were used optimally to achieve results in a highly constrained operating environment.
Key Evaluation Questions
5. Sustainability
Objective: Assess the likelihood that positive changes will continue beyond the project period.
Key Evaluation Questions
• To what extent are coordination mechanisms, advocacy practices, and CSO capacity gains likely to be sustained in the short and medium term?
6. Coherence
Objective: Assess internal and external coherence of the intervention.
Key Evaluation Questions
7. Conflict Sensitivity, Accountability, and Do No Harm
Objective: Assess integration of conflict-sensitive and accountable approaches.
Key Evaluation Questions
8. Lessons Learned and Recommendations
Objective: Generate learning and actionable guidance for future programming.
Key Evaluation Questions
The consultant will develop and implement a mixed-methods evaluation methodology aligned with the project’s theory of change, logical framework, and OECD-DAC criteria. The methodology will be detailed in an Inception Report, clearly outlining how each evaluation question and relevant logframe indicator will be assessed, including data sources, data collection tools, and analytical approaches.
The methodology will include a desk review of key project documents, key informant interviews with LIF Secretariat, LIF members, Libyan CSOs, donors, UN agencies, and other relevant stakeholders, as well as satisfaction surveys. Light quantitative analysis of monitoring data will be complemented by qualitative triangulation.
Data collection will rely primarily on remote modalities, with in-person engagement undertaken only where access, security, and feasibility are allowed. Sampling will ensure representation across stakeholder groups and consider gender, age, disability, and geographic diversity where applicable. The consultant will apply a contribution-based analysis, appropriate for coordination and advocacy interventions.
All data collection tools and the methodology will be reviewed and approved by LIF and IRC prior to implementation. Ethical standards, including informed consent, confidentiality, safeguarding, and Do No Harm, must be strictly followed.
