Evaluators under MedBEESinessHubs project
Mediterranean Bee Hubs (MedBEESinessHubs) is a 2 years project 90% funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC Med program for a total amount of 1.1 million euros. It is implemented and co-financed by The Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, A.M. Filagrotiki Symvouleftiki Ltd, Confederation of Egyptian European Business Associations, Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture of Zahle and the Bekaa, The Palestinian Business Women’s Association – ASALA, and Arab Italian Chamber of Cooperation.
The Palestinian Business women Association - Asala , Partner 4 of the MedBEESinessHubs project, is looking for an External Evaluator to carry out evaluation activities and reports, thereby offering independent external evaluation of the MedBEESinessHubs project and its progress.
External Evaluators must review the MedBEESinessHubs Application Form (project description) and become well acquainted with the WP obligations of the partner they are working with.
It should be noted that Evaluation reports are not designed to lay the blame for any shortfalls at any individuals, but rather to document the strengths and weaknesses of the project so that the lessons learnt can be carried forward and to feed back into the overall continuous improvement process.
Evaluation will take place on two levels:
Project Outputs level
O1.6 Project Evaluation Reports (PERs)
All project partners hire an external evaluator to assess the quality of project outputs, guided by the external evaluator of the BEN CCCI.
