World Bank-2026-MEAL-GLOBAL: Strengthening Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning for Climate-Resilient Development Projects
The World Bank's Global Partnership for Results-Based Approaches has issued an RFP for a technical assistance provider to strengthen monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEAL) systems for climate-resilient development projects in low-income and fragile states. The strategic intent is to build the capacity of partner governments and implementing agencies to design results frameworks, collect and analyze data, and use evidence for adaptive management. The scope includes training on data privacy and protection, financial management, and proposal writing to ensure compliance with World Bank standards. The project requires deep expertise in MEAL, data analysis, and longitudinal impact validation.

Who is it For?
International development consultancies, academic institutions, and NGOs with a global track record in MEAL capacity building for World Bank-funded projects. Experience in climate adaptation and fragile states is mandatory.
Priorities
Developing standardized MEAL frameworks for climate resilience; training local evaluation teams; establishing data protection protocols; and promoting a culture of evidence-based decision-making.
Eligibility
Applicants must have completed at least three similar MEAL capacity building projects with budgets over $1 million, employed a team with at least 10 years of MEAL experience each, and maintain ISO 27001 certification for data management. A sample training curriculum is required.
Path to Success
Phase 1 (Curriculum Design): Use GSLI's 'Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning' and 'Data Privacy and Protection' to develop a certification program for World Bank grantees, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. Phase 2 (Data Analysis Training): Deliver 'Data Analysis for Project Management' to equip partners with skills in statistical analysis and impact evaluation using R or Stata. Phase 3 (Financial Accountability): Integrate 'Financial Management for NGOs' to align budget tracking with MEAL indicators. Phase 4 (Proposal Writing for Scale): Leverage 'Writing Winning Proposals' to help partners secure follow-on World Bank funding.
