Consultancy Service for Project Outcome and Success Story Documentation

Scope of work for consultant

Open Development Cambodia (ODC) is implementing the Civil Society Support Activity: Cluster Anchor Grants Project funded by USAID Cambodia through FHI360-CSS, July 2022 – March 2025. This project aims to improve access to meaningful and reliable natural resource management and environmental protection data, mobilize indigenous communities, and advance natural resource management at the national level. The merging of the different scopes and approaches of all cluster members – Open Development Cambodia, CamboJA, Conserve Indigenous Peoples Languages (CIPL), and Young Eco – consolidates a comprehensive outreach at both local and national levels. The proposed cluster seeks to make natural resource management more sustainable, inclusive, and participatory, integrating the needs and concerns of indigenous peoples. The project stems from the lack of transparency and participatory decision-making and monitoring processes regarding natural resource management, environmental protection, and the marginalized and vulnerable position of indigenous peoples in such processes. This project will be finished by February 2025.

Therefore, ODC is seeking to engage a qualified consultant to produce a project outcome and success story. The consultant will assess the impact and success story of the project.

Key responsibilities:

• • Conduct a thorough review of existing project documentation: Assess all relevant project materials, including quarterly and annual reports, activity reports, the monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) spreadsheet and so on, to comprehensively harvest and frame the project’s success.
  • Consolidate and synthesize key achievements: Gather and integrate the project’s outputs, outcomes, and success stories from the available documentation, ensuring the information is presented clearly and aligned with the project’s objectives and impact.
  • Develop and present findings: Prepare a detailed presentation for ODC and donors, clearly outlining the project’s success stories and outcomes, and seek formal endorsement of the final documentation.
  • Work collaboratively with internal teams: Under the supervision of ODC’s Executive Director and in collaboration with the Program Coordinator and other relevant stakeholders, ensure the successful completion of all assigned tasks, while maintaining high levels of collaboration and accountability.

Expected outcome

• • 15-30 page project outcome and success story in English. This will consist of an executive summary, project overview, methodology, project outputs, project outcomes and impacts, success stories, stakeholder feedback and testimonials, challenges and lessons learned, and conclusion and recommendations. Gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) principles shall be reflected in the documents.
  • 1-2 page summary of project outcome and success story development (for factsheet designing)
