Value for Money (VfM) Consultant at International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF)

The consultant will:

• Lead the development of three case studies (2 on SBC and social norms and 1 on policy) applying the Value for Money analytical dimensions - Equity, Investment, Outcomes, Resource Use, and Learning & Adaptation. Each case study should provide a robust and coherent assessment of whether the change achieved justifies the investment made.
• Ensure that all case studies appropriately integrate and reflect key program themes, including disability inclusion, humanitarian response, youth and adolescent SRHR, policy engagement, systems strengthening, and the use of demographic data for decision-making.
• Strengthen methodological clarity by integrating qualitative and quantitative evidence (e.g., outcome harvesting and KII/FGD insights), producing a thematic synthesis and presenting findings in a compelling, coherent, and policy-relevant manner.
