Johannesburg, South Africa SECTION27 Full time

Aim of consultancy
SECTION27 is seeking a qualified monitoring and evaluation (M&E) consultant or consultancy with extensive experience in evaluations and documenting contributions to policy change to conduct an in-depth impact case study. Detailed requirements and qualifications are provided below.
Estimated duration of consultancy
The period of the consultancy is expected to be up to three months.
Consultancy terms of reference
Background
SECTION27 is well-known for a number of high-profile litigation cases, including arguably the most important education rights case in South Africa. In the #TextbooksMatter case, the Supreme Court of Appeal upheld SECTION27’s argument that the Department of Basic Education’s failure to provide learners in Limpopo with their textbooks directly infringed on their rights to basic education, equality, and dignity and amounted to unfair discrimination. Most recently, after nine years of arbitration and an inquest into the deaths of 144 mental healthcare users, SECTION27 secured a judgment finding that the former MEC and director of mental health caused the deaths of nine mental healthcare users, representing a significant victory for accountability both for the bereaved families of the Life Esidimeni tragedy and in the health system in general. SECTION27 has, together with partners, achieved legal, material, and political impact from its legal advocacy over the years.
With an eye towards building a body of evidence of its impact, SECTION27 aims to document its successes through various evaluative approaches.
This impact case study will focus on SECTION27’s longstanding work around school sanitation, particularly its work on eradicating pit latrines in schools in Limpopo. SECTION27 became aware of the problem of school sanitation in 2012, but the issue became all the more urgent in January 2014, when six-year-old Michael Komape fell into a pit toilet at his school and drowned. SECTION27 successfully represented the Komape family, who was awarded damages by the Supreme Court of Appeal, which at the same time ordered the Department of Basic Education to provide an audit and plan to address the school sanitation crisis. While there has been significant and measurable progress to date, directly attributable to SECTION27’s work, the organisation continues to closely monitor the implementation of the Limpopo Department of Education’s plan to eradicate pit latrines. This work exemplifies SECTION27’s use of the law—through litigation, advocacy, legal literacy, research, and community mobilisation—to advance socio-economic rights, in this case, the right to basic education.
Approach and methodology
The objective of this consultancy is to conduct an impact case study that assesses and documents SECTION27’s contribution to key policy changes in the South African education sector. The study should provide a comprehensive analysis of SECTION27’s strategies, actions, and contributions to the observed policy outcomes. The impact case study will provide an objective and impartial assessment that uses mixed methods and different primary and secondary data sources that are systematically triangulated. Using a participatory approach, the consultant is expected to:
Develop a clear evaluation plan
Collaborate and engage with key staff to understand the context, objectives, and key stakeholders involved in the policy change.
Develop a detailed evaluation plan outlining the methodology, data collection tools, and analysis framework.
Collect and analyse data
Collect and analyse qualitative and quantitative data. Where applicable, the consultant will collect and analyse quantitative data. This may involve reviewing relevant statistics and existing quantitative monitoring data.
Analyse and triangulate data to cross-verify findings from different data sources and methodologies, enhancing the reliability and validity of the conclusions drawn.
Reporting
Prepare and present a draft impact case study that synthesises findings, analysis, and recommendations.
Incorporate feedback from SECTION27 into the final report.
Submit a final impact case study that includes an executive summary, methodology, findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
The consultant will work with the executive director and M&E team throughout the consultancy and will be provided with the relevant background documents for an initial desk review.
Expected deliverables
The consultant will work directly with the executive director and M&E team to deliver the following:
Evaluation plan
Impact case study
Debrief with the SECTION27 team
Key expertise required
Education
Minimum of an advanced degree in social science or another relevant field.
Education in another sector (health, education, gender, public policy) is an added advantage.
Skills/experience
Demonstrated expertise in impact evaluation, particularly in policy advocacy and change and complex evaluations
Experience in conducting qualitative and quantitative research
