Welthungerhilfe Seeks Evaluation Consultants for Multi-Country Land for Life Programme – Apply by 24 August 2026
Welthungerhilfe (WHH) is inviting experienced evaluation consultants and consultancy teams to express their interest in participating in the procurement process for the final external evaluation of the Land for Life programme.
The multi-country programme is being implemented across Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Liberia and Sierra Leone, with a focus on strengthening inclusive and sustainable land governance. The evaluation will examine the programme’s achievements, sustainability and contribution to land governance, livelihoods and food security.
Interested consultants and teams must submit a short Expression of Interest (EOI) by 24 August 2026.
About the Land for Life Programme
Land governance plays an important role in sustainable development, particularly in communities where land tenure, livelihoods, food security and natural resource management are closely connected.
The Land for Life programme seeks to contribute to inclusive and sustainable land governance across several African countries. Its work involves governance processes, multi-stakeholder engagement and efforts to strengthen the relationship between secure land rights and improved livelihoods.
As the programme reaches its final stage, Welthungerhilfe is preparing an external evaluation to assess its overall contribution and generate lessons that can inform future programming and policy.
The Evaluation Opportunity
WHH is looking for experienced evaluation consultants or teams who can conduct a high-quality final evaluation across the programme’s different country contexts.
The evaluation is expected to consider several interconnected areas, including:
- Inclusive and sustainable land governance
- Multi-Actor Platforms
- Policy and governance processes
- Land tenure security
- Livelihoods
- Food security
- Sustainability of programme interventions
- Multi-stakeholder processes
- Complex socio-political environments
Because the programme spans four countries, the assignment will require an understanding of different institutional, cultural, political and development contexts.
Countries Covered
The Land for Life programme operates across:
- Burkina Faso
- Ethiopia
- Liberia
- Sierra Leone
The geographical scope makes this a significant opportunity for consultants with experience conducting evaluations across multiple countries.
Consultants should be comfortable working across diverse contexts and comparing findings while recognising the unique circumstances of each country.
Who Should Express Interest?
The opportunity is aimed at experienced professionals and teams with a strong background in international development evaluations.
Welthungerhilfe is particularly interested in consultants who can demonstrate expertise in:
International Development Evaluations
Applicants should have relevant experience designing and implementing evaluations of international development programmes. This may include experience developing evaluation methodologies, collecting and analysing qualitative and quantitative evidence, engaging stakeholders and producing evidence-based recommendations.
Land and Natural Resources Governance
Knowledge of land governance and natural resource management is an important requirement. Consultants should understand issues surrounding land rights, land tenure, access to resources and governance systems.
Multi-Stakeholder Processes
The evaluation will examine the role and sustainability of Multi-Actor Platforms, making experience with multi-stakeholder processes particularly valuable.
Consultants should understand how governments, civil society organisations, communities, development organisations and other stakeholders interact around complex development issues.
Complex Socio-Political Contexts
Land governance can involve sensitive political, economic and social considerations. Applicants should therefore be able to demonstrate experience conducting research or evaluations in complex socio-political environments.
Multi-Country Experience Is Important
Welthungerhilfe specifically requires experience with multi-country evaluations.
This is important because the Land for Life programme covers four countries with different development environments and governance structures.
A strong evaluation team should be capable of identifying common programme-level lessons while also recognising country-specific differences.
Consultants should be able to develop approaches that allow evidence from different countries to be analysed meaningfully without overlooking local realities.
Anglophone and Francophone Experience Required
Another important requirement is experience working in both Anglophone and Francophone contexts.
This is particularly relevant to the programme’s geographical scope, which includes Burkina Faso, where French is widely used in official and professional contexts, alongside English-speaking programme countries such as Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Applicants should therefore have demonstrated experience navigating different linguistic and institutional environments.
This requirement may be particularly relevant for evaluation teams that combine complementary language and regional expertise.
What Could Make a Strong EOI?
Although the current stage is an Expression of Interest, applicants should clearly communicate their relevant experience and capacity.
A strong EOI could highlight:
- Previous international development evaluations.
- Experience conducting multi-country evaluations.
- Expertise in land governance.
- Knowledge of natural resource governance.
- Experience evaluating multi-stakeholder initiatives.
- Experience working in complex socio-political environments.
- Experience in both Francophone and Anglophone settings.
- Relevant country or regional experience.
- Previous work involving livelihoods and food security.
- Experience engaging government, civil society and community stakeholders.
Consultants should ensure that the information provided demonstrates a clear connection between their experience and the requirements of the Land for Life evaluation.
How to Express Interest
Consultants and evaluation teams interested in being invited to the formal tender are requested to submit a short Expression of Interest by email.
The EOI should be sent to:
Tatjana.sadovskaja@welthungerhilfe.de
Applicants should include their:
- Name or organisation
- Contact details
Welthungerhilfe will provide further information about the assignment and the formal procurement process to interested candidates.
This means that the current EOI stage is an initial opportunity for qualified consultants or teams to signal their interest before receiving additional tender information.
Important Deadline
The deadline for submitting an Expression of Interest is:
24 August 2026
Given the short timeframe, eligible consultants and evaluation teams should prepare their expressions of interest promptly.
Applicants should make sure their contact details are accurate so that Welthungerhilfe can communicate further information about the procurement process.
Why This Consultancy Opportunity Matters
The final evaluation of Land for Life presents an opportunity to contribute to learning around one of the most important issues affecting sustainable development in many communities: land governance.
Secure and equitable access to land can influence livelihoods, food production, natural resource management and community resilience. At the same time, land governance often involves complex relationships between communities, governments, institutions and other stakeholders.
An effective evaluation can help identify what worked, what did not, which approaches can be sustained and what lessons can inform future development programmes.
The inclusion of four countries also provides an opportunity to generate valuable comparative learning across different contexts.
