The Humanitarian Evaluation Effectiveness Portfolio (HEEP) within the Evaluation Office will be managing several L3 evaluations during the second half of 2025 and 2026. These include the evaluation of UNICEF’s L3 (Level 3) response in the State of Palestine. Aligned with EO’s vision to deliver high quality, utilization-focused and more cost-efficient evaluations as well as to ensure rapid turn-around of evaluation deliverables able to inform humanitarian programming in a timely manner; in light of the limited internal capacity within HEEP to complete all the activities included in its work plan; and given UNICEF’s strong localization commitments and its prioritization of local expertise and knowledge as well as of supporting national evaluation capacity and national ownership, EO is currently seeking two Humanitarian Evaluation Consultants to support one of the portfolio’s most high-profile activities of the year: the L3 SoP evaluation. Under the guidance of the EO’s Senior Evaluation Specialist (Humanitarian) and the direct supervision of the Team Lead and Co-Lead, the consultant will provide technical support to the L3 SoP evaluation and help strengthen the overall quality and utility of the final deliverables. The consultants will also review the draft report produced within the scope of another important evaluation (L3 Lebanon) due to the links existing between the two responses .
