Start Network, on behalf of the Community-Led Innovation Partnership (CLIP), is inviting proposals for an external evaluation of this groundbreaking programme. CLIP aims to transform humanitarian innovation by empowering crisis-affected communities in Guatemala, Indonesia, South Sudan, and the Philippines to design and implement solutions tailored to their unique challenges.
The evaluation seeks to uncover the programme’s impact, effectiveness, and contributions to advancing community-led innovation. It will delve into the successes and challenges of the CLIP, exploring its social value and gathering insights that can inform the design and implementation of future initiatives. A participatory and inclusive approach will be at the heart of this evaluation, ensuring that the voices of community members are central to the process.
This opportunity is ideal for experienced evaluators passionate about humanitarian innovation and committed to fostering local leadership and inclusive practices in complex contexts. The findings will not only help refine CLIP’s approach but also contribute valuable lessons to the wider humanitarian sector.

OPERATIONAL PARTNERS:
Asociación de Servicios Comunitarios de Salud (ASECSA), Guatemala, host of the Start Network Guatemala Hub, is an association of over 48 community-based organisations in Guatemala fighting for rural, indigenous health access since 1978.
ASECSA works to support cohesive communities with mutual solidarity, and to participate in, and actively advocate for, their rights to humanitarian preparation and response.

The Center for Disaster Preparedness (CDP), the Philippines, works with non-government organisations, people’s organisation, communities, and government agencies at all levels to enhance their capacities in disaster prevention and mitigation, preparedness, emergency response, and rehabilitation and recovery.
Innovation is a strategic element of CDP’s core work, cross-cutting DRR, response and recovery. CDP has regional offices across the archipelago.
YAKKUM Emergency Unit (YEU), Indonesia, has a mandate to deliver inclusive emergency response where community participation in needs assessment and relief distribution is encouraged. YEU works to articulate initiatives to build community resilience through community-led disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
YEU is National Coordinating Organisation for GNDR in their Views from the Frontline, and a part of various networks, including the National DRR Platform, Provincial DRR Platform in Yogjakarta and Sigi (Central Sulawesi), Humanitarian Forum Indonesia, and National Clusters. YEU is also an umbrella organisation for organisations of persons with disabilities.
CAFOD & Trocaire in Partnership (CTP), and Titi Foundation1, on behalf of Start Network South Sudan Hub. Titi Foundation is a South Sudanese national NGO active since 2015 that focuses on humanitarian relief and services to the most vulnerable, such as women and children. CAFOD and Trocaire in partnership (CTP) are the joint operational partners between the two sister agencies (CAFOD &
Trocaire) in South Sudan and help increase programme scale and impact. CTP programmes provide humanitarian assistance to thousands of displaced people and promote peacebuilding and reconciliation.
All organisations have significant and unique experience in humanitarian innovation. Humanitarian innovation, particularly institutional support for community-led innovation in humanitarian contexts, is very much an emerging field. Our collective experience has thus been critical to the delivery of this programme and has enabled the emergence of new tools and more effective approaches that are urgently needed as this field grows and becomes more widely adopted in the sector.
