Terms of reference: SVL Peru End of Program Evaluation
Overview
Habitat for Humanity’s Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter (TCIS) Peru seeks an external consultant/team to conduct an independent end-of-program evaluation of TCIS’s portfolio of interventions in Peru. The evaluation will support learning and decision-making, helping to clarify what worked, for whom, and why, and to identify priority recommendations for future programming. The evaluation period covered: July 2023 – June 2026 (corresponding to FY24–FY26).
Evaluation scope
The scope of work sets the boundaries of this evaluation. The TCIS Peru portfolio is delivered through interventions implemented with partners and is organized around three complementary work areas: (1) construction technical assistance and related services, (2) housing finance products and services, and (3) public goods/enablers. For the purpose of this evaluation, the focus will be on the first two areas—construction related services and housing finance recognizing that some interventions integrate both through embedded models that link construction support with access to finance and enabling services along households’ incremental building journeys. The evaluation will focus on these two areas of the Peru portfolio:
• Improving access to trusted construction technical assistance and related services (standalone or embedded) that enable low-income households to plan and implement incremental home improvements safely, affordably, and sustainably (including gender- and climate sensitive considerations).
• Improving access to appropriate housing finance products and services, with related enabling support (standalone or embedded) such as financial capability and consumer protection, and linked, where relevant, to construction technical assistance.
Objectives
1. Relevance: Assess the extent to which the program’s objectives, strategies, and activities are aligned with LIH housing needs and priorities, and with the roles, incentives, and capacities of key housing market actors.
2. Effectiveness: Assess the extent to which the program has achieved its intended outputs and early results/signals of change, and how different interventions have contributed to observed changes.
3. System-level change: Examine sign of changes/changes at household and market actor levels and identify early signs of broader housing market transformation that can be plausibly linked to the program.
4. Learning and adaptation: Identify key lessons learned and good practices to inform future strategy, programming, and partnerships.

Deadline for EOIs: 20 February 2026.
