Terms of Reference: Outcome evaluation for Production Protection and Inclusion (PPI) Compacts in Cesar and Magdalena
IDH aims to select a service provider to conduct an outcome evaluation of the PPI Compacts in Cesar and Magdalena, Colombia, and the establishment of a roadmap that supports the sustainability of the achieved outcomes.
Context
IDH catalyses positive change by bringing together committed stakeholders from across global markets to create better jobs, better incomes, a better environment, and gender equality for all. Through our unique approach of convening, co-creating, and co-financing, we address critical challenges in value chains, such as deforestation, working conditions and wages, value distribution, and climate change. Our mission is to put people, planet, and progress at the heart of markets.
Since 2020, the Landscapes Program has established a strong position in Colombia, placing itself as a catalyst for sustainable development in the regions of Huila, Cesar and Magdalena, effectively convening and aligning all relevant stakeholders to address critical impact areas within the PPI compacts. This effort reached a significant milestone in 2021 with the formalization of multi-stakeholder coalitions (national and local public sector entities, private sector partners, think tanks, producer organizations, and associations) and the establishment of clear targets, culminating in the signing of MoU. As part of the approach, stakeholders define sustainability targets around sustainable agricultural production, environmental protection, and local community inclusion, which are included in agreements called “PPI (Production, Protection and Inclusion) Compacts”.
Objective
On basis of these Terms of Reference, IDH aims to select a service provider to conduct an outcome evaluation of the PPI Compacts in Cesar and Magdalena (Colombia) and the establishment of a roadmap that supports the sustainability of the achieved outcomes. The evaluation seeks to give inputs for the transition strategy for handing-over3 the two PPI Compacts and answer key learning questions to guide the future IDH program strategy in Colombia (2026-2030).
