The consulting engagement involves revising the monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) tools that accompany the refreshed BRIGE curricula. The original BRIGE measurement tools require significant revision to ensure usability, flexibility, and alignment with current program priorities. The revised toolkit will streamline content and incorporate practical qualitative and quantitative measurement options.

• A clear Theory of Change and results framework for the BRIGE approach
• Measurement guidance adaptable to different project scopes and budgets, including qualitative and quantitative options
• Operating guidance for quality assurance, minimum standards, and adaptation processes for budget, time, and household and community level
• Practical tools such as sample indicators, learning questions, and after‑action review templates

• Review existing materials: assess existing MEL guidance and BRIGE toolkit materials to identify gaps, redundancies, and opportunities for streamlining and conciseness.
• Support development of Theory of Change: facilitate discussions with the Social Integration and Development (SID) team to build/refine a ToC that explains pathways of change and informs measurement priorities.
• Design revised toolkit structure: create a detailed outline for the updated toolkit that is flexible, usable, and aligned with program goals.
• Update/develop integrated measurement and management guidance: recommend practical measurement tools (qualitative and quantitative) to offer choice to program teams depending on their context, budget guidance, and necessary minimum standards to support pathways to change, and operating standards for quality assurance.

• Inception workplan detailing timeline
• Summary report of literature review and recommended revisions (max 5 pages or PowerPoint) and draft outline of revised toolkit
• ToC workshop facilitation materials including agenda, PowerPoint slides, etc.
• Draft revised ToC and results framework capturing pathways of change, assumptions, risks, measurement implications, recommended indicators, and suggested learning agenda/learning questions
