Deliverables

Objectives of baseline and endline assessments:

• Establish baseline values for 3 of the 12 projects.
• Gather relevant data/information through the baseline to support the monitoring process, decision-making, and endline assessment process.
• Establish endline values for all 12 projects.
• Track the projects’ impact against intended outcomes.
• Document the impacts and the learnings from project implementation.
• Track any possible unintended outcomes or cases of climate maladaptation.

Objectives of gender impact analysis:

• Synthesise and summarise the impact of the 12 GSMA grant-funded projects on the lives of women who are using the digital services and products in question.
• Deep-dive into some of these projects through case studies, to highlight the practical ways the projects have or have not impacted women.

The supplier is expected to be able to:

• develop and tailor baseline and endline assessments for each of the projects, in collaboration with the GSMA Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning team.
• produce an analytical and user-friendly report of the results for each baseline and endline assessment conducted.
• synthesise and summarise data pertaining to the impact on women across the portfolio in a standalone report.
• present and discuss each of the reports in detail with GSMA and the grantees.

Phase 1: Baseline/endline study and gender impact analysis alignment and preparation

This is an inception phase where the supplier and the GSMA team will have a series of a meetings to agree approach and design. Deliverables in this phase are as follows:

• Review of GSMA Innovation Fund for Climate Resilience and Adaptation 2.0. portfolio MEL plan and each project’s MEL framework. The supplier is expected to include measurement of performance indicators that the GSMA has developed for each of the project within the baseline and endline assessments. The supplier should assess the feasibility of the metrics and propose alternatives if needed.
• Develop instruments or data collection tools (survey, interview, and discussion guide) for baseline and endline studies, both qualitative and quantitative approaches. For the majority of the projects, a remote phone-based survey is the preferred data collection method with a limited number of complimentary in-depth interviews or focus-group discussion. However, suggestions for alternative approaches are welcome.
• Outline a plan, methodology and tools for a gender impact analysis.

Deliverable 1**:** A brief inception report as outlined above, to include a workplan, timeline, learning questions, and proposed tools. Expected March 2024.

Phase 2: Baseline assessments

• Conduct data collection for baseline assessments and ensure data quality to provide good baseline data relevant to measure impact.
• Conduct data analysis and present findings in an analytical and user-friendly report for each of the 3 projects selected for a baseline.

Deliverable 2:Produce 3 baseline reports to outline the status before project implementation and the potential outcomes if the project is implemented. Expected March to July 2024.

Phase 3: Endline assessments

• Conduct data collection for endline assessments ensure data quality to provide good data relevant to measure impact.
• Conduct data analysis and present findings in an analytical and user-friendly report for each project.

Deliverable 3**:** Produce 12 endline reports to outline the impact of each project in relation to key performance indicators and intended outcomes. a draft report of endline study showcasing the project’s impact (compared to the baseline), and identify lessons learned from the project implementation. Expected July 2025 to September 2025.

Phase 4: Gender Impact Analysis

• Synthesise and summarise data on the impact of the GSMA Innovation Fund for Climate Resilience 2.0 on women. The data source for will primarily be the endline assessments.
• Collect additional data required for this analysis to create up to 3 deep-dive case studies within the analysis.
• Conduct data analysis and present findings in a single analytical and user-friendly report.

Deliverable 4**:** A short report synthesising and summarising the impact of the 12 projects on women, with additional data collected as required for the report through means such as focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Expected July 2025 to October 2025.
