[CLOSED] eeBLUE Aquaculture Literacy Mini-Grants Program: Evaluation Consultant RFP

This RFP is intended to identify an evaluator and communications consultant to assess the outcomes of this cross-sectoral program. Specifically, we seek an evaluator and communication consultant who can disseminate the information reported by grantees about project implementation and program outcomes using reports, qualitative data collection methods, and attending the ending symposium. Evaluation questions include:

• What can the information grantees report about project implementation and results tell us about program outcomes?
• How can the information reported by grantees about project outcomes be synthesized into best practices for community engagement with aquaculture literacy discussions?
• What can the information reported by grantees about project partnerships tell us about cross-sectoral collaborations to reach diverse audience groups?

The evaluation findings will be used to develop best practices, lessons learned, and resources for the field. These will focus on promising strategies for inspiring and engaging various audience groups in sustainable aquaculture conversations. The consultant is expected to present this work at at least one conference.
