DESCRIPTION

First 5 LA is seeking qualifications from qualified individuals or firms that can provide the organization with support in developing the Child & Family Progress project, a key component of the Impact Framework designed to assess progress toward First 5 LA’s nine Strategic Plan Objectives.  Each Strategic Plan Objective describes a condition affecting children prenatal to age 5 and/or their families, along with a desired measurable outcome. To evaluate progress, a set of indicators will be identified for each Objective. These indicators will serve as metrics used to track change over time, allowing First 5 LA to monitor improvement, highlight gaps and inform strategic decision-making throughout the life of the Strategic Plan. Applicants responding to this RFQ must have the qualifications, experience and demonstrated success in designing methodological approaches for assessing change over time, acquiring and analyzing data, and developing dissemination products.
