Child Poverty Action Plan - Programme Evaluation Specification

The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority will be holding an online market engagement event for organisations interested in the forthcoming opportunity to evaluate the Child Poverty Action Plan Programme. This session will provide an overview of the proposed specification, including the aims, scope and expected outcomes of the evaluation. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of the programme and the Authority's evaluation requirements ahead of the procurement process commencing. The evaluation will assess the implementation, outcomes and learning emerging from a portfolio of interventions designed to reduce child poverty and improve economic inclusion for families across the North East. The Authority is seeking an evaluation partner capable of generating robust evidence on what works, for whom and under what circumstances, while supporting continuous learning and improvement throughout programme delivery.
