RfP - Evaluation of the MSF Transformational Investment Capacity (TIC)

PURPOSE OF THE EVALUATION 

The Transformational Investment Capacity (TIC) was created in 2016 by MSF’s Executive Committee and International Board. The TIC invests funds, intellectual capital, and human resources to implement transformational and game changing initiatives. Any MSF staff or associative member can propose projects. Successful proposals receive funding for development, and projects are evaluated, selected, and tracked in a way that is transparent and visible to everyone throughout MSF.

In February 2026, the TIC has 40 active projects, for a budget of 45 million EUR. Since it started in 2016, the TIC has supported 80 other projects that are now completed, for a budget of 92 million EUR. 

About 80% of TIC-supported projects have found a permanent home at the end of the TIC support, whether through new or existing MSF entities, shared services, or support functions. 

INTENDED USE

The evaluation is meant to assess the merit, worth or significance of the TIC, with regards to its overarching objective: in its ten years of existence, to what extent has the TIC contributed to transform MSF? In order to answer this question, the evaluation will first focus on a shared understanding of what constitutes value for the TIC, and then assess the overall portfolio against this definition of value.

The evaluation will enable the TIC to better understand to what extent it is fulfilling its purpose and will be used by the TIC and MSF key stakeholders to inform its strategy moving forward.
