The Development of a Theory of Change for SBTi

Deadline: November 29th 2024

The SBTi is seeking to develop a comprehensive Theory of Change (ToC) that clearly outlines the logical pathways from its interventions to long-term global climate outcomes.

This exercise includes building internal capacity to develop, own, revise and if necessary amend the SBTi Theory of Change in the coming years. This Theory of Change will provide the framework for the SBTi Strategy.

SBTi intends to award a Fixed Price type contract for a consultant to assist in:

• Designing, facilitating a process and providing intensive hands-on support to develop a clear, evidence-based Theory of Change that reflects and clarifies SBTi’s ambitions, positioning and role as a standard-setting body, outlining the envisaged pathway from SBTi’s standards and other interventions (such as advocacy, campaigns, partnerships, among others to be identified by the TOC Process) to measurable climate impact.
• Building internal capacity in the SBTi for Theory of Change development and iteration by guiding a small team of SBTi staff to work closely in the development of the TOC and promote ownership and eventual revision of the Theory of Change and all related outputs (e.g. TOC narrative).
• Providing general recommendations or highlights of the content of the Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy for the Theory of Change (a second stage consultancy project for the full development of the MEL strategy will possibly be required).

All questions about this RFP must be received via email to: monserratnarvaez@sciencebasedtargets.org by November 20th 2024.

Applications must be submitted by November 29th 2024.
