Organization: Hedayah<\/div>\n
Closing date: 12 Sep 2024<\/div>\n

Hedayah<\/strong> was created in response to the growing desire from members of the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum (GCTF) and the wider international community for the establishment of an independent, multilateral center devoted to dialogue and communications, capacity building programs, research and analysis to counter extremism and violent extremism in all of its forms and manifestations. During the ministerial-level launch of the GCTF in New York in September 2011, the U.A.E. offered to serve as the host of the International Center of Excellence for Countering Extremism and Violent Extremism. In December 2012 Hedayah was inaugurated with its headquarters in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. As a leader within the counter extremism and violent extremism community, Hedayah works to enhance understanding and share good practices to effectively build the capacity of counter extremism and violent extremism actors across the globe to promote tolerance, stability and security.<\/p>\n

STRIVE Global Program PHASE II<\/strong> (2022-2026) responds to the ongoing threat of global extremism and violent extremism and the need for effective responses that ameliorate, rather than exacerbate, the threat. Since 2015, the STRIVE Global Program, funded by the European Union through its Instruments Contributing to the Stability and Peace (IcSP) and Foreign Policy (FPI), and implemented by Hedayah, has provided assistance to governments and civil society organizations (CSOs) to implement activities as outlined in their respective countries National Countering Extremism and Violent Extremism Strategies and Action Plans. The Mission Statement is to reduce the risk of radicalization leading to extremism and violent extremism through resilience building of vulnerable communities and individuals to recruitment and radicalization techniques whilst continuing to respect human rights and international law. The Overall Objective of the Program is to build the capacity of local CSOs and government entities to design and implement impactful interventions in line with their respective Countering Extremism and Violent Extremism National Strategies and Action Plans to prevent radicalization leading to extremism and violent extremism, and recruitment to terrorism and facilitate the de-radicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration processes of foreign terrorist fighter returnees and their family members.<\/em><\/p>\n

Specific objectives of the Mid-term evaluation<\/strong> are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    To make an overall independent assessment of the program progress (i.e. the level of fulfilling the objectives as stated in the program document) and to evaluate the achievements and weaknesses of the program in respect to the six OECD-DAC evaluation criteria(1)<\/a> (what is applicable at this stage of the program implementation) as relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, coherence and sustainability against original program objectives taking account of the realities on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    To evaluate the program implementation strategies and process\/structures, including assessment of its alignment with EU and country policies, institutional and operational set-up with the view to make recommendations on whether they are the best to achieve the program objectives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    To identify key lessons and to propose practical recommendations for follow-up actions.<\/p>\n

    The evaluation will take place either in countries selected for the evaluation and\/or remotely. Hedayah will facilitate the whole evaluation process, and the evaluators will be provided with grantees\u2019 and other stakeholders\u2019 contact details to set interviews. The tentative timetable of the evaluation is as follows:<\/p>\n
