    Brief

    The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority is seeking an evaluation partner to assess how well its Child Poverty Action Plan Programme is working. The programme includes various interventions aimed at reducing child poverty and improving economic inclusion for families across the North East region. The evaluation partner will need to produce strong evidence showing what works, for whom, and in what circumstances. They should also help the programme team learn and improve continuously during delivery. Key deliverables should include practical recommendations and easy-to-understand outputs that can guide future policy decisions, commissioning processes, and regional strategies to address child poverty. This is an opportunity for organisations with expertise in programme evaluation, family support, and poverty reduction to make a real difference in the North East.
