ABA ROLI Evaluator, Jordan (Consultant)

ABA ROLI seeks an independent evaluator to conduct an external review of a grant-funded program focused on strengthening investigation of trafficking in persons cases & services for victims in Jordan. The program has two objectives focused on supporting improved comprehensive services for victims of trafficking and institutionalizing victim-centered investigations of TIP cases.

The specific methodology will be finalized with the program team. The valuator may be asked to develop surveys and assessment tools to use during the evaluation.

This will be a short-term assignment, approximately 20 days, with approximately a one week visit to Jordan.
