The Robert Carr Fund Seeks an External Evaluation of Its Fund Management Agent
The International Steering Committee (ISC) of the Robert Carr Fund (RCF) is seeking an independent consultant or consulting team to conduct a Fund Management Agent (FMA) Evaluation.
The Robert Carr Fund is a global pooled funding mechanism supporting civil society networks working with and for inadequately served populations in the HIV response. As part of good governance practice, the ISC initiated an overall governance review in 2025. The Fund Management Agent (FMA) evaluation is a core element of this process and will inform future decisions on RCF’s fund management, governance, and partnership arrangements.
The evaluation will:
- Review the performance of the Fund Management Agent;
- Assess the current operational and partnership (hybrid) model;
- Provide forward-looking recommendations to support governance, decision-making, and partnership arrangements.
The assignment will take place between February and June 2026 and will involve close engagement with the RCF Secretariat and governance bodies.
