Introduction

The International Consultant will serve as Team Leader for the Terminal Evaluation (TE) of the Africa Minigrids Program (AMP) – Djibouti (PIMS 6327), a GEF-funded project implemented by UNDP in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development.

In this role, the consultant will be responsible for the overall design, coordination, and delivery of the evaluation, ensuring methodological rigor, objectivity, and compliance with UNDP and GEF evaluation standards. The assignment aims to provide an independent, evidence-based assessment of the project’s performance, results, and sustainability, particularly in expanding access to clean energy through solar mini-grids.

The assignment culminates in the presentation of findings, conclusions, and actionable recommendations to UNDP and relevant stakeholders to inform future programming and policy decisions.
