2026 Call for Evaluators: Remote Opportunities in GEDSI, GBV, VAWG, Safeguarding and Climate
Senior evaluators with experience in programme evaluation, portfolio assessment, policy review and institutional evaluation are being invited to join an expanding network of evaluation professionals. The opportunity is particularly suited to specialists with expertise in gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI), gender-based violence (GBV), violence against women and girls (VAWG), safeguarding and climate-related work.
The assignments are expected to vary in scope and duration, creating potential opportunities for experienced evaluators seeking flexible consulting work.
Remote Evaluator Opportunities
The call is open to evaluators working in the United Kingdom or internationally. The assignments will be conducted remotely, making the opportunity potentially accessible to professionals working from different locations.
Rather than being a single fixed-term position, the opportunity involves joining a network from which evaluators may be considered for future assignments.
The work may include short- or medium-term evaluation engagements depending on the requirements of individual projects.
Areas of Expertise
The organization is particularly interested in senior evaluators who can demonstrate relevant experience in one or more priority areas.
These include:
- Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI)
- Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
- Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)
- Safeguarding
- Climate-related programmes and initiatives
Professionals with specialized knowledge in these areas may be well positioned to contribute to evaluations examining programme effectiveness, outcomes, institutional practices and broader social impact.
Experience in Evaluation
Applicants should have experience evaluating programmes, portfolios, policies or institutions.
The opportunity is particularly relevant to professionals who have worked across complex development, humanitarian, social justice, gender, safeguarding or climate-related programmes.
Senior evaluators are expected to bring strong analytical capabilities and an ability to understand the context in which programmes operate.
Experience conducting evaluations from design through to reporting can be particularly valuable, as assignments may require evaluators to work independently while collaborating closely with clients and stakeholders.
Qualitative and Participatory Approaches
A key requirement is experience with qualitative, inclusive and participatory evaluation approaches.
These approaches can help ensure that evaluation findings reflect the perspectives and experiences of people affected by programmes and policies.
Evaluators may be expected to design or contribute to methodologies involving stakeholder consultations, interviews, focus groups, document reviews and other qualitative research methods.
An inclusive approach is particularly important when evaluating programmes involving gender, disability, safeguarding or other issues where participants may have different experiences and levels of power or access.
GEDSI Evaluation Expertise
GEDSI-focused evaluation requires an understanding of how gender, disability and social inclusion can influence people’s experiences and access to opportunities.
Evaluators working in this area may assess whether programmes are reaching diverse groups equitably and whether interventions are addressing barriers faced by marginalized or underrepresented communities.
Experience applying an intersectional perspective can also strengthen an evaluator’s ability to identify gaps and provide practical recommendations.
GBV and VAWG Experience
The call also highlights expertise in GBV and VAWG.
Evaluation work in these areas requires appropriate sensitivity, ethical awareness and an understanding of safeguarding principles.
Professionals with experience evaluating prevention, response or survivor-centred programmes may be particularly relevant.
Strong evaluators should be able to balance rigorous evidence collection with approaches that protect participants and respect confidentiality, dignity and safety.
Safeguarding and Climate Expertise
Safeguarding is another priority area highlighted in the call.
Evaluators with safeguarding experience may contribute to assessments of organizational policies, programme systems, risk-management mechanisms and prevention and response approaches.
Climate is also identified as an area of interest. This could create opportunities for evaluators who have assessed climate adaptation, resilience, climate justice, environmental programmes or related development initiatives.
The combination of climate and social inclusion expertise can be especially relevant as organizations increasingly examine how climate impacts different communities.
Strong Report Writing and Stakeholder Engagement
Technical evaluation skills are only part of the requirements.
Candidates should also demonstrate excellent report-writing and stakeholder engagement skills.
Evaluation findings need to be communicated clearly so that organizations can understand evidence, identify lessons and make informed decisions.
Strong written communication allows evaluators to transform complex findings into concise reports, recommendations and actionable insights.
Stakeholder engagement skills are equally important because evaluators often work with programme teams, funders, partners, communities and senior decision-makers.
Flexible Assignment Opportunities
The assignments may be short- or medium-term, depending on the project.
This flexible structure could be suitable for experienced consultants who want to take on additional evaluation assignments without committing to a permanent full-time role.
Because opportunities are available on a rolling basis, interested professionals can express their interest now and potentially be considered for relevant future assignments.
Who Should Apply?
The opportunity may be suitable for professionals such as:
- Senior evaluators
- Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning specialists
- Research consultants
- Gender specialists
- GEDSI consultants
- GBV and VAWG specialists
- Safeguarding professionals
- Climate evaluation specialists
- International development consultants
- Humanitarian evaluation experts
Applicants should be able to demonstrate relevant previous experience rather than relying solely on academic qualifications.

Candidates should highlight their most relevant evaluation experience and clearly identify expertise in areas such as GEDSI, GBV, VAWG, safeguarding or climate.
