Monitoring and Evaluation

The Digital Skills for Jobs and Income (DS4JI II) project is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, in partnership with the South African Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) and guided by the National Digital and Future Skills Strategy and Implementation Plan.  Against this background, the DS4JI II project aims to improve the employment prospects for young people, especially women, based on the demand-oriented career pathways in South Africa’s digital economy.  The pathways identified and selected by the DS4JI II refer to a structured series of educational and training, work readiness programmes designed to ensure that South African youth are employed in digital fields. These pathways typically involve acquiring skills necessary for occupations that heavily involve or are based on digital technologies.

A key priority of DS4JI II is tracking the performance of the project towards reaching the objective of the programme. The project has a robust monitoring system in place which tracks the performance of the various activities. The project also seeks to measure their impact through tracer studies. Due to the large scope of these activities, the project requires external support to implement these tasks. 

DS4JI II seeks the services of a highly skilled and competent service provider with core expertise in monitoring and evaluation of projects in the skills development sector in South Africa. Service providers that have a history and a proven track record in overseeing parts of a monitoring and evaluation framework are encouraged to apply to provide the following services: 

  1. To conduct a tracer study two of the outcome indicators of the project over the lifecycle of the project
  2. Conduct an evaluation of the career guidance activities for one of the outcome indicators
  3. Evaluation the implementation of the gender strategy across different training measures.
  4. Conduct KOMPASS which includes qualitative data collection and analysis of different perspectives of key actors involved in the project.

GIZ invites eligible and professional companies with local presence and working experience in South Africa to participate in this tender.
