Evaluation of USAID STEM partnerships between U.S. & Indonesian Universities

FOUR POSITIONS — 2 INTERNATIONAL, 2 INDONESIAN

IBTCI, a Washington area small business that focuses on

multi-sectoral M&E, has recently completed a series of

evaluations of partnerships between Indonesian and U.S.

universities on behalf of USAID/Indonesia. USAID/Indonesia has

now invited IBTCI and perhaps a couple of other firms to submit

a proposal to evaluate a set of five new partnerships between

Indonesian and U.S. universities. This assignment will probably

call for four-five weeks in-country, probably in May/June. This

assignment is separate from other assignments for which we are

recruiting.
