Call for Consultancy: Development of a Web-Based MEAL System for HelpAge Ethiopia

Organization Background

HelpAge Ethiopia is a national non-profit organization committed to improving the well-being, dignity, and rights of older people across Ethiopia. The organization builds on more than 30 years of experience as the former Ethiopian country office of HelpAge International, which has been operating in Ethiopia since 1992, supporting older people.

HelpAge Ethiopia was officially registered as an independent national civil society organization. The organization delivers both humanitarian and development programmes, including emergency response interventions in food security, shelter, WASH, health, and protection. In addition, it promotes rights-based social protection systems, advocates for inclusive policies, strengthens the capacity of Older People's Associations and local partners, and fosters age-friendly services and environments.

Consultancy Overview

In response to increasing donor accountability requirements and the growing demand for timely, reliable, and high-quality evidence to inform decision-making and organizational learning, HelpAge Ethiopia seeks to enhance its Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) system through the establishment of a comprehensive, web-based data management platform.

Objective

The overall objective of the MEAL system is to systematically track, assess, and improve program performance while ensuring accountability to affected populations, compliance with donor requirements, and the effective use of evidence for organizational learning and adaptive management.

Specifically, the MEAL system will:

• Monitor progress against programme and project objectives, indicators, and results frameworks in a timely and reliable manner
• Ensure high-quality data collection, management, and analysis to support evidence-based decision-making
• Strengthen accountability to affected populations
