Final Evaluation of REDpreneur 2.0

The Austrian Red Cross invites qualified consultants to submit a proposal for the final evaluation of REDpreneur 2.0. The programme, funded by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), runs from April 2023 to March 2026 and supports Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies, civil society organisations and SMEs in building entrepreneurial capacity for financially sustainable humanitarian and social services.

The evaluation will assess programme results and outcomes, capture learning from three global training cycles and the REDpreneur Community and provide recommendations for scale up, localisation and follow up programming beyond 2026.

Location

The programme is global and delivered largely online. Data collection will be remote and will cover all participants, with deeper thematic analysis in selected regions. Full scope, objectives, methodology expectations and deliverables are described in the Terms of Reference (ToR).
