RELEVANT DATES
World Wildlife Fund, Inc. (WWF) policies and procedures for all GEF financed full-sized projects require a midterm evaluation (MTE). The following terms of reference (TOR) sets out the expectations for the MTE for the project: Connectivity Corridors in two priority landscapes of the Ecuadorian Amazon Region, hereafter referred to as the “Project.” The technical consultant selected to conduct this evaluation will hereafter be referred to as “evaluator.”
The Project seeks to improve the ecological connectivity of two priority landscapes of the Ecuadorian Amazon, through the establishment of two connectivity corridors and associated management mechanisms, to ensure the long-term biodiversity conservation of its ecosystems. This project supports the implementation of the Ecuadorian government’s ecological connectivity model, which, according to Ministerial Agreement 019 issued by the Ministry of Environment, Territorial Planning and Environment (now MAE) in 2020, defines Connectivity Corridors as “Special areas for biodiversity conservation, primarily established between areas of the National System of Protected Areas, the National Forest Heritage, and other special areas for biodiversity conservation, under a sustainable landscape management approach”. The Project was organized into the following components:
Scope and Objective for the evaluation
WWF is seeking an independent consultant to undertake a Midterm Evaluation (MTE) of the Project. The scope of the MTE will cover the WWF GEF financed components.
The objective of this evaluation is to examine the extent, magnitude, sustainability and potential for project impacts to date; identify any project design problems; assess progress towards project outcomes and outputs; and draw lessons learned that can improve the project effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of project benefits. Based on this assessment, it is expected that the evaluator will provide feasible recommendations that could be applied for the remaining duration of the project.
Evaluation Approach and Method
The evaluation will adhere to the relevant guidance, rules and procedures established by WWF and align with guidance from the GEF Terminal Evaluation and Ethical Guidelines.
