PURPOSE OF THE POSITION
This evaluation comes after 6 years of implementation in the same communities of the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal.

Oxfam is committed, over the next decade, to a just and sustainable future. As Oxfam is driving by this mission, it works to enhance humanitarian action for which Oxfam helps people and communities develop core competencies to strengthen their resilience, continues to reorient the humanitarian system towards local leadership, and expands opportunities for those impacted by protracted conflict and recurring crises to lead on sustainable solutions. As populations around the world are heavily impacted by multi-dimensional inequalities, which make people more vulnerable to natural disasters, Oxfam fights those inequalities in a conscious way by promoting just economies, gender and climate justice, and accountable governance.

(The structure of reports will be collectively decided).
5.Key Findings Dissemination Planning: Share learnings with various audiences (i.e., Oxfam, partners, government agencies, and community DRR groups), and develop an uptake plan per country that will inform Oxfam and partners on what actions to take and plan to share key findings with a variety of audiences.

Sub questions:
- What are the main factors and barriers that can support and jeopardize the sustainability of Oxfam and partners’ work?
- How can we overcome these barriers and challenges?
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
With the support of Oxfam and partners, the consulting team will lead and develop a robust methodology adequate to answer the key evaluation questions and to assess the level of sustainability. The evaluation process should include the following steps:
-
Inception phase: Review available documentation on current and past projects and evaluations. Consult communities, local NGOs and local authorities and define sustainability and local leadership in those specific contexts to design the evaluation’s methodology to evaluate the sustainability of Oxfam’s DRR interventions, and validate the sustainability domains proposed in this ToR. There may be need to clearly define key concepts such as food and economic security, and the different domains of sustainability. It is recommended developing a first roadmap of the dissemination strategies to be considered for this evaluation and identifying key program actors.
- Inception report with detailed methodology building on literature review of available data and initial consultations) max 10 pages. (10 days). To be delivered by August 17, 2026.
-
On site data collection: To avoid survey fatigue from partner communities and stakeholders we work with, conduct culturally appropriate data collection in Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, and in the Philippines when necessary. We recommend to maximize the time in the field to do some sensemaking, valuable information sharing and recommendation formulations with those local actors, respectful of respondent’s time, rights, language, and of any cultural norms when interacting with them.

Some additional and valuable monitoring data will be made available to the evaluation team such the endline data reports, and annual outcome harvesting. Data analysis will be undertaken in first half of November 2026 (11 days).
- Analysis and Interpretation: Review and sense-making of evaluation findings with the right stakeholders to obtain rich insights and analytical points that are context-specific.
- Evaluation Reports: Write one evaluation report answering the key evaluation questions and provide credible findings and evidence. The main evaluation report should provide a list of annexes from which short country-specific evaluation reports, two visual stories of local DRR transformation from each country, and other relevant documentation should be annexed. (The structure of reports will be collectively decided).
Draft Evaluation Report (35 pages max.), including short case stories and Key Recommendations. To be delivered by Nov 16, 2026. The consulting team will identify vital enabling factors and barriers impacting DRR interventions’ effectiveness against the key evaluation questions, and provide recommendations.

Tips for Your Remote Project Consultant Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote project consultant openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search for roles that match your methodology background and apply directly as soon as they post, since remote roles close faster than in-office positions when hiring teams are working asynchronously.
Build a written work sample library
Remote project consultant hiring managers rely on written communication as a primary signal. Put together a short portfolio of project charters, status updates, or stakeholder summaries from past work. Concrete documents prove async collaboration skills faster than resume bullets alone.
Get fluent in distributed project tools
Remote employers screen for hands-on experience with tools like Jira, Asana, Monday.com, Confluence, and Slack before the first interview. List the specific tools you've used in your resume and be ready to describe how you used them to keep distributed teams aligned.
Prepare for asynchronous interview rounds
Many remote project consultant interviews include a written case response or a recorded video question round before any live call. Practice answering stakeholder scenario questions clearly in writing and keep recorded answers concise, since remote hiring teams often review them outside business hours.
Remote Project Consultant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote project consultant job?
Remote project consultant roles go to candidates who can demonstrate strong self-direction, clear written communication, and the ability to manage deliverables without in-person oversight. Remote employers screen heavily for async collaboration skills, familiarity with tools like Asana, Jira, or Confluence, and a portfolio or case studies showing real project outcomes. Prior remote work experience, even freelance or contract, gives you a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote project consultants?
Remote project consultant roles are posted by WTW, CBRE, and Optum and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. The employers hiring this role remotely tend to be remote-first consulting firms, technology companies with distributed delivery teams, and large enterprises managing change or transformation programs across multiple locations.
Can you get a remote project consultant job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level project consultant roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage your own workload from day one without on-site support. You can open the door by completing a PMP, CAPM, or Google Project Management certificate, contributing to volunteer or nonprofit projects you can document, and showing written communication samples that prove you can collaborate across distributed teams.
Do you need a degree for remote project consultant jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated project outcomes, methodology knowledge like Agile or PMP certification, and a history of delivering results more heavily than a specific degree. A strong portfolio of completed projects, client references, and evidence that you can work independently and communicate clearly in writing can substitute for a traditional four-year credential at many companies.
Which industries hire the most remote project consultants?
Remote project consultant roles concentrate in Accounting & Auditing, Investment & Asset Management, and Technology & Software, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors rely on distributed project teams to coordinate complex initiatives across multiple time zones, making remote project consultants a practical staffing choice rather than an exception.
