Corporation, and a number of other donors. IBTCI has worked in over 85
countries and has implemented over 150 projects in the practice area of
Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) across many sectors including education,

completed a series of evaluations in the education sector for USAID/Indonesia,
and USAID has invited us to submit a proposal to conduct the mid-term
evaluation of its PRESTASI project which provides scholarships and training in
various fields.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
IBTCI is currently seeking a Team Leader to
conduct a Mid-Term Evaluation of the USAID/Indonesia Program to Extend
Scholarships and Training to Achieve Sustainable Impacts Phase II (PRESTASI-II)
project. The PRESTASI project supports Indonesians working in fields of
particular importance to Indonesia's development to take part in short-term
training and/or graduate level training in the U.S. and in Indonesia.
USAID wants to learn how effective the project is and to identify areas for
improvement. More specifically, the evaluation should assess the progress of
the PRESTASI project in terms of achieving its primary objectives in the
following areas: 1) outreach, selection and placement mechanism; 2) monitoring
participants in the U.S. and in Indonesia; 3) administration of long- and
short-term participant training program; 4) post training support and follow-up
activities; 5) effectiveness of the financial management system assistance
provided by the Mission in the project implementation, and 6) inclusion of
gender sensitivity in project implementation.
We are seeking several consultants from the U.S. and
Indonesia to take part in this evaluation. If we are selected, we
anticipate that it will take place beginning in January 2015 and that it will
call for about 11 weeks of full-time work.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Team Leader will be responsible for coordinating and
managing all activities related to this evaluation and for leading the
production and completion of a quality report.
