Comic Relief is looking for a third-tier organisation to provide technical
support and peer learning to 20 UK-based funded partners as part of their
Change Makers funding programme.
The successful applicant will work with Comic Relief and Change
Makers funded partners to build their capacity, explore wider learning and help
achieve the programme objectives.
Objectives
- To articulate the wider social
change and changes to policy and practice that funded partners are trying
to achieve
- To build, share and use
knowledge and skills to deliver change
- To develop and use appropriate
Monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) tools to measure change
- To articulate the change
achieved (and/or identify the barriers to achieving it)
Phases
Comic Relief suggests that the Changemakers
learning partner works initially in two phases:
- Phase 1: work with Change Maker funded partners on technical MEL
support, including identification of potential shared / cohort level
outcomes.
- While some Funded partners
within Change Makers will know what they want to achieve and have
indicators for this, others will need more support and the successful
learning partner may identify shared / cohort level means to measuring
change.
- This can be used as a basis
for Change Makers funded partners to complete their Comic Relief Funding
Overview Form (FOF) from approximately January/February 2022. The FOF
then becomes the basis of annual reporting and grant management for
Change Makers funded partners throughout the grant.
- Phase 2: the successful learning partner will transition to
other MEL and learning needs of the Change Maker funded partners. For
example:
- Playing a convening role
across the cohort, bringing Change Maker funded partners together in
person/remotely to share learning about how change happens; what works
and what doesn’t in the UK; reviewing change and impact across the
cohort.
- More detail about Phase 2
focus and approaches will become clear after working with Change Maker
funded partners on their needs during Phase 1.
