Our Experience

We enabled the IAS Governing Council determine whether the collective of programmes is responding to the current needs of the HIV field. We explored whether new thematic areas require integrating within the portfolio and whether the delivery mechanisms the IAS is currently using to achieve the impact it seeks are effective, or require changes.

We reviewed Healthcare without Harm Europe’s 2020-2025 strategic plan. We supported the team to develop an organisational Theory of Change and nested programme Circular Healthcare Theory of Change. Through focused in-person workshops we explored what meaningful change looked and how best they can achieve that change given their unique role in the marketplace.

We reviewed the UNAIDS Gender Action Plan 2018-2023. The evaluation took stock of what has been achieved; assessed what remained relevant and documented notable organisational developments and changes related to the Action Plan. We explored options to achieve the commitments and targets in the remainder of the implementation period.

We enjoyed working with IAS HIV Programmes and Advocacy colleagues again, to review and develop a team bank of strategic indicators, monitoring tool and MEL guidance. The team are using these tools to support more coherent and systematic analysis and presentation of the varied and meaningful impacts they achieve. Support for this work is ongoing.

We worked with IAS to strengthen their M&E tools, methods and practices focusing on the Paediatric and Young People portfolio. We designed an evaluation framework and delivered training in Theory of Change, Change Pathways Process, and Results Frameworks. We ran a series of interactive online workshops to ensure alignment with the organisational strategy and to make sure that each team member could locate themselves and their work in the Theory of Change.

This evaluation focused on the efficiency and effectiveness of the Technical Support Mechanism and included an in-depth review of organisational practices within the TSM. It was an excellent opportunity to understand key global and regional challenges in meeting Fast Track Targets, as well as positive practice within different HIV thematic areas being experienced in the different regions.

This review sought to understand ‘what’ had been achieved in terms of impact, ‘where’ impact had been achieved and learning related to ‘how’ ICAI achieved this. The review report contributed to internal thinking around how to work more efficiently for greater impact and VFM. We also reviewed the Theory of Change to check its alignment with ICAI's mission.

We facilitated two international roundtables for the Global Women’s Inventors and Innovators Network at the British Council and ExCeL London. The sessions focused on inclusive innovation and civic technology, engaging speakers from 40+ countries.

Delivered Focused Conversation and Consensus Workshop training to 12 museums and galleries in the UK’s exhibition touring network, both in-person and online.

Delivered practical MEL training to strengthen impact and learning within UK based development organisations as part of the Southwest International Development Network programme. Supported by FCDO. Delivered Writing for Impact to strengthen communication and impact capacity across member organisations in the UK development sector.
