Development of a National M&E System for Palestine

Notice title: 10037895-Development of a National M&E System in Palestine

Development of a national Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system for Palestine: structured around eight work packages (WPs) covering the full cycle from system design through operationalization, capacity development, and digital enablement. WP1 (Inception, Alignment, Mobilization): Review and consolidation of OECD/Sigma diagnostic findings, targeted design assessments (data feasibility mapping, institutional baseline mapping, planning-budgeting process validation, pilot site readiness assessment, digital systems inventory), establishment of governance and coordination arrangements, detailed workplan, stakeholder engagement plan, risk register; deliverable: comprehensive Inception Report. WP2 (National M&E System Framework and Governance): Production of the foundational design of the national M&E system, developed jointly with MoFP and key government stakeholders; definition of the system's purpose, scope, institutional roles, governance mechanisms, core M&E processes, data governance principles, integration logic with planning and budgeting, evaluation framework, system stewardship mandate; deliverable: government-endorsed National M&E Framework. WP3 (Results and Measurement Architecture): Redesign of the Strategic Results Framework (SRF) using a methodology-first, pilot-based approach; development of a comprehensive SRF methodology and standards framework for the next national planning cycle, participatory results clarification exercise with a pilot of sectors, production of a transitional indicator set for the remaining current planning cycle to enable piloting; deliverables: revised SRF Methodology Document and Updated SRF and Indicator Framework. WP4 (Institutional and Functional Design): Definition of organizational arrangements to anchor M&E and data management as permanent government functions; development of functional design models, organizational options with feasibility assessments (against GPC civil service frameworks), RACI matrices, workflow systems, HR alignment proposals through a participatory process with MoFP and LMAs; deliverable: Institutional and Functional Design Report. WP5 (Integration with Planning, Budgeting, and Oversight): Definition of how M&E information flows into and influences core government decision-making processes (annual planning, budget preparation, performance oversight at CoM level); mapping of actual planning and budgeting processes, assessment of linkage feasibility, design of standard decision-informing M&E products, proposals for integration mechanisms; deliverables: M&E Integration Framework and Updated Planning and Budgeting Guidance Notes. WP6 (Operationalization and Piloting): Translation of the system design into operational reality through co-developed SOPs, data collection instruments, reporting templates, and interim digital tools, tested with 3-5 pilot LMAs (selected based on WP1 readiness assessment); piloting tests real workflows and data flows, generating feedback for system refinements; deliverable: Pilot Implementation Report. WP7 (Capacity Development, Change Management, and Sustainability): Building professional and institutional capacities for sustained system operation; development of competency frameworks, training programs, and materials; delivery of training in two waves; design and initiation of change management and communication strategies; proposals for institutionalization and incentive mechanisms in coordination with GPC; building system stewardship capacity for MoFP and LMAs to maintain, update, and evolve the system independently; deliverables: Capacity Development and Change Management Strategy, Competency Frameworks and Training Roadmap, Training Modules and Materials, System Stewardship Package, System Handover and Transition Protocol. WP8 (Digital Enablement Design and Procurement-Ready Specifications): Production of the complete technical basis for procuring a digital M&E platform; definition of functional requirements, design of data architecture and interoperability framework, technology options assessment (including AI and emerging technology analysis), design of a public results portal concept, production of a vendor-neutral technical and procurement specifications package.
