Request For Expression Of Interest: Regional Impact Partner Organization, East Africa (Anglophone)
In 2018, the Mastercard Foundation launched its Young Africa Works strategy to enable 30 million young Africans to access dignified and fulfilling work by 2030. Young women make up 70 percent of this target. Young Africa Works outlines the Foundation’s focus on supporting solutions to the youth employment challenge – harnessing players, often across sectors, to create a supportive environment where vulnerable and marginalized young people can thrive in work and where entrepreneurs and small enterprises can succeed and grow. The Foundation implements Young Africa works through our programming platforms: Country programs, the Pan-African program, Education and Transitions, and Special programs.
The Mastercard Foundation’s Approach to Impact
The Foundation’s innovative and pioneering Impact Strategy, adopted in 2020, has inspired the Foundation to conceive of monitoring and evaluation differently from conventional funder approaches. It advances a holistic yet practical approach to impact at the mission, strategy, program portfolio and partnership initiative levels. It encourages innovative, systems-informed approaches to understanding and working towards transformative impact, from individual to systems level. It commits the Foundation to go beyond measuring outputs to measuring outcomes, and in doing so, in a manner that elevates the voice of young women and men in determining what sustainable and transformative change means to them, their families, their communities, and societies.
Implementing partners conduct monitoring, measurement and evaluation activities relevant to their program. These activities serve various purposes, including systematic tracking of change and progress towards outcomes and impacts, understanding the potential to scale and fostering lessons learned and generating evidence to guide programming, strategy, and investment decisions. Additionally, the Impact Strategy provides independent evaluations, nuanced data systems for monitoring and impact reporting, evidence synthesis and support for the design and assessment of outcome-focused investments and portfolios.
Impact Partner Organizations (IPOs) support the work of the Impact Team, playing long-term strategic advisory, reviews, assessment, evaluation, and technical roles across the work of the Foundation programming platforms. Each IPO comprises an evaluative research organization/company or consortium of organizations/companies.
The Foundation is seeking Regional IPOs to support Country Program Platforms across East Africa, which includes Country Programs in Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda. Further information on Country Programs is available here: Where We Work in Africa
