We are looking to engage an experienced evaluation consultant to carry out an interim and final evaluation of our Digital Rights Advocates Project.

Our Digital Rights Advocates Project II (DRAP II), a two-year project titled ‘Sub-Saharan Africa Digital Rights Advocates Project II’, started in October 2019 and is expected to end in September 2021. DRAP I (2017-2019) sought to contribute to improving digital rights in East and Southern Africa through strengthening the capacity of lawyers to advocate and coordinate initiatives effectively.
