Invitation to submit a proposal to conduct the CEP Evaluation Audit
We would like to invite you to nominate a candidate (see point 1) to submit a proposal to evaluate the CEP work programme to grow and develop as an organisation.
The aim is to evaluate and report on the CEP’s internal operational performance in 2024.
Topic for the 2024 Evaluation Audit
To assess the CEP evaluation system with a focus on CEP objectives, the way CEP evaluates its results/outcomes and the impact of its activities and actions.
Documents to be submitted:
- A short CV of the candidate in English
A short CV in English (preferably EuroPass format) is required. The candidate to carry out the audit does not have to be a CEP member (e.g. an employee of the CEP member organisation, individual or associate member etc), however, any external organisation or individual to conduct the audit has to be nominated/indicated by the CEP member.
- Methodology including timeline
The evaluation audit should, as a minimum, include interviews with CEP members with respect to regional balance, CEP staff and Board Members, group consultations, review of documents and other materials furnished by CEP, discussions with partners, stakeholders and experts, questionnaires – all work forms and options that are considered useful and appropriate for the evaluation´s purpose. Some meetings and consultations may be conducted via Zoom, video conference or telephone instead of physical meetings. A timeline division of work within 7,5 days is requested to be included in the methodology.
Deadlines
The work must be completed between 1st December 2024 and 31st January 2025. The Evaluation Audit Report, with recommendations, must be submitted to the Secretary General on behalf of the CEP Board by 1st February 2025 at the latest.
