Caritas Internationalis (CI) is a worldwide Confederation composed of 162 national organisations and 7 Regional Secretariats working on emergency relief and integral human development. In 2022, Caritas undertook a highly participatory process to develop the CI Strategic Framework 2024-2030 (CI SF), which was approved in May 2023 by the General Assembly and entered into force in January 2024.

The CI SF includes Five strategic orientations: Caritas at the heart of the Church (SO1); Reduce risk, save lives and rebuild communities (SO2); Promote sustainable integral human development and care for creation (SO3); Increase the effectiveness of the Caritas confederation (SO4); Build global solidarity (SO5). Moreover, eight shared commitments which are linked to the Caritas values, were also included in the SF. In 2025, after the establishment of the global Working structure to implement the strategy, and considering the changing international contexts, the CI Representative Council decided to undertake a First Review of the CI Strategic Framework, which was facilitated by an external consultancy team (PIRON Global Development).

Three main processes will characterize the follow-up of the First Review:

1. Regionalization (which will be led by a specific Task Force in charge of it)
2. Building a MEAL Plan to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the CISF, and operationalise the data collection, reporting and use of the CISF indicators
3. Revision of the current version of the CI Strategic Framework for presentation to the General Assembly 2027. This consultancy is required to address points 2 and 3, while point 1 is an ongoing parallel process (under implementation through an external consultancy between March and September 2026).

*Objective:* Develop a MEAL Plan and revise the current Strategic Framework 2024-2030. The consultant will be responsible for both components of the work, according to the calendar proposed.

*Deliverables*: A MEAL Plan including key indicators for the current strategy, and the revised version of the Caritas Internationalis Strategic Framework 2024-2030.

*Period of consultancy*: **April 2026 – March 2027** (estimated 60-70 days)

*Deadline* to submit technical and financial offer: **7 April 2026**
