Oxfam Ireland (OiE) is one of 22 Oxfam affiliates working in over 70 countries around the world to combat inequality, poverty and injustice. As part of OiE strategy to address inequalities in the digital space, OiE is leading the implementation of the ‘ReCIPE’ project (ReCentering the Civic Internet through Partner Engagement).

ReCIPE is a multi-year, multi-country project led by OiE and co-founded by the European Union, receiving 3,500,000 Euros over three years. The ReCIPE project partners with Civil Society Organisations from 10 countries around the world with the overall objective of promoting and contributing to a ‘rights-respecting digital ecosystem that is values-based, people-centred and safe for civil society actors and human rights defenders.’

The RecIPE mid-term evaluation will independently assess the performance of the project and the organisational capacity to achieve the agreed programme objectives looking at the first 18 months of project from 01/01/2024 – 30/06/2025.

As an integral part of Oxfam's commitment to accountability and learning, and in line with donor requirements, the evaluation will look at four key areas: Effectiveness, Impact, Sustainability, Relevance and Lessons Learned.

The evaluation will also highlight stories of change to illustrate the relevance of the project through case studies and, based on its findings, make recommendations in the above categories.
