Terms of Reference for consultancy services for the final evaluation of the Finance for Inclusive Growth in Somalia (FIG Somalia) programme
Country: Somalia
Organization: Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund
Closing date: 8 Dec 2025
1. About FIG Somalia
Finance for Inclusive Growth in Somalia (FIG –Somalia) is a pilot programme component under the European Union-funded Inclusive Local and Economic Development (ILED) programme in Somalia. The FIG programme is funded by the EU under the Trust Fund. The programme started the implementation in September 2020 and will run until December 2025. The programme is implemented by the African Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF) in partnership with six Somali financial institutions (FIs): MicroDahab MFI, IBS Bank, Sombank, Amana MFI, Maal MFI, and Raas MFI.
The programme objective is to revitalise and expand the local economy with a focus on livelihood enhancement, job creation and broad-based inclusive growth for Somali women, youth, and producers1 through:
Designing and offering appropriate and sustainable financial products and services to clients through two Somali Financial Institutions (FI) and ensuring targeted clients are growing and becoming more bankable.
Catalyzing a sustainable increase in lending to economic actors in Somalia, youth, women, and producers.
Building the capacity of the partner financial institutions to increasingly provide appropriate financial services for a wider scope of customers living in urban centers, and rural and decentralized areas in Somalia.
Building the capacity of targeted end clients to profitably use the financing for business
The programme consisted of two phases and initially partnered with two financial institutions— MicroDahab MFI and IBS Bank. Each of these financial intermediaries received €1 million in returnable capital as a revolving fund and matched this amount with their own €1 million each.
In the second phase, the programme expanded its impact by collaborating with four additional financial institutions: Sombank, Maal MFI, Amana MFI, and Raas MFI. Each of these institutions received €350,000 in returnable loan funds (RLF) and matched that amount 1:1 with their own funds
for on-lending to the programme’s target clients, which include 40% women, 30% youth, and 30% producers.
The programme’s activities expanded to all regions of the country, including:

A mixed-method approach will be used to combine qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. At the end of this phase, it is expected that the evaluator(s) present their preliminary findings to the key audience for this evaluation.
Reporting and dissemination phase: The third phase will include reporting, validating and prioritizing findings and recommendations, and disseminating the results to AECF and its stakeholders. The evaluator(s) will submit a final evaluation report in Word and PDF. The final report should not exceed 25 pages and clearly and transparently demonstrate links between review questions, data collection, analysis, findings and conclusions.

Evaluation of Financial Proposals
The Financial Proposals of the bidders who attain the minimum technical scores are opened and the summary of cost prices read out and recorded in the bid opening form by the tender committee. All other Financial Proposals are returned unopened after the Contract negotiations are successfully concluded and the Contract is signed.
Arithmetical errors will be rectified in the following manner.

We catalyze the private sector by surfacing and commercializing new ideas, business models and technologies designed to increase agricultural productivity, improve farmer incomes, expand clean energy access, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve resilience to the effects of climate change. We finance high risk businesses that struggle to access commercial funding; we are committed to working in frontier markets, fragile contexts, and high-risk economies where few mainstream financing institutions dare to go.

Purpose and objectives of the assignment
The purpose of the assignment is to showcase the impact of the work of two investees funded under the programme: Virl Microfinance and Zambuko Trust Limited. They were all funded by AECF through the REACT SSA program.
About the Investees
a) Virl Microfinance
VIRL Financial Services is a Zimbabwean microfinance institution (MFI) established in 2010 with a mission to promote financial inclusion and community transformation.

Its products include agricultural loans, working capital loans, asset finance, and green loans for solar and energy-efficient solutions. Beyond credit, VIRL offers financial literacy and business training to ensure borrowers can grow sustainable enterprises. With a strong women-led leadership team and partnerships with development organizations, VIRL bridges the gap between marginalized communities and economic opportunity, driving both social and financial impact across Zimbabwe.

Zambuko Trust is one of Zimbabwe’s pioneering and longest-serving microfinance institutions, established in 1990 with a mission to extend financial services to people traditionally excluded from formal banking.
