Call for Proposals: Endline Evaluation – ACED Project

The Active Citizens for Elections and Democracy (ACED) project, funded by the EU, has been working to strengthen democratic participation and accountability in Sri Lanka and the Maldives—particularly in the face of economic challenges, shrinking civic space, and barriers to inclusive political engagement.

As the project concludes, NPC is seeking experienced consultants or consultancy firms to conduct the endline evaluation of this two-year initiative. The evaluation will assess relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability using a mixed-methods approach.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to strengthening democratic processes and inclusive governance in the region.

The past month has been a time of patience, kindness, generosity, and self-reflection. It has been marked by caring for those in need, strengthening faith, and showing compassion to others. These are values worth holding onto every day.

As Eid is celebrated, may the spirit of Ramadan continue—choosing peace over conflict, compassion over division, and unity over hate.

May this Eid bring peace to every heart, every community, and the whole world.

Eid Mubarak 🤍
