   The International Rescue Committee (IRC) Somalia Country Programme is inviting eligible and qualified

   Quotation (RFQ) or Request For Proposal (RFP) bidding competitions among roster members, as
   determined by IRC based on program needs, budget availability, and the specific technical
   requirements of each assignment as per the specific terms of reference and scope of work developed
   (SoW/ToR).
2. KEY THEMATIC AREAS
   IRC seeks to pre-qualify firms across the following thematic areas, to be drawn upon on a need basis
   over the roster period. The anticipated Services or assignments may include but not limited to
3.  Project Evaluations, including Baseline, Midline, Endline, and Final Evaluations.
4. Assessments, including Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessments (MSNA) and Rapid Needs
   Assessments (RNA), and analysis of Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI),
   Protection, Safeguarding, Market/Labour Assessment/TVET, and Accountability to Affected
   Populations (AAP).
5. Third-Party Monitoring (TPM) of IRC activities and programmes in Somalia.
6. Learning and Knowledge Management Facilitation, including programme learning reviews, After
   Action Reviews (AAR), and real-time evaluations.
7. Partner Capacity Sharing, including training and workshop facilitation.
   Firms may express interest in one or more thematic areas. Firms are encouraged to clearly indicate
   the specific thematic area(s) against which they wish to be considered, as shortlisting and subsequent
   call-downs will be organized by thematic area for the terms of reference.
