• Description:
• The task is to evaluate and produce a report on the role and impact of the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) Assessments in public financial management improvements in countries. The evaluation findings should help to address gaps in knowledge on how to use PEFA assessments to strengthen the capacities of country PFM systems, and/or contribute to the practical sequencing of PFM reform and capacity development actions. The work is primarily to produce an impact evaluation following a (comparative) case-based design to assess causal contribution. The impact evaluation will comprise of three country cases where repeated PEFA data is available. The evaluation approach should consider PEFA-s Theory of Change (ToC). It will test PEFA-s main contribution claims on “PEFA-s role as a neutral diagnostic tool that helps countries assess the strengths and weaknesses of their PFM systems. It can be the start of the process that can lead to improvements in the PFM systems and processes through reform diagnostics, dialogue, reform planning, implementation, and monitoring”. And this in turn should improve the provision of public services. The evaluation will follow a most similar case-based design of three particularly well performing cases to confront general data with individual country scenarios. Well performing cases are to be chosen since the indirect causal contribution of PEFA to public service delivery is likely better traceable in better performing cases. Bidders are required to submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) that explicitly indicates the proposed country cases they intend to examine within the impact evaluations that they intend to conduct. Bidders may provide an indicative list of countries. The final selection of three countries will be made after the award, subject to confirmation by the PEFA Secretariat. Bidders are encouraged to consider countries where one of PEFA-s official languages—English, French, or Spanish—is spoken.
