Objectives of the Mid-term Review
The MTR is expected to assess progress towards the achievement of the project objectives and outcomes as specified in the Project Documents (both the LtC and Danida project), and assess early signs of project success or failure with the goal of identifying the necessary changes to be made in order to set the project on-track to achieve its intended results. The MTR will also review the project’s strategy and its risks to sustainability.**
Further, the MTR also aims to make a deep dive on the CSO partnerships and its alignment with WWF commitment of strengthening ownership and accountability. This MTR will serve as a learning exercise for WWF and other key stakeholders especially the approach in building strategic partnerships with local CSOs in delivering conservation outcomes in DTL.
Approach & methodology
The MTR must provide evidence-based information that is credible, reliable and useful. The MTR consultant together with WWF colleagues will review all relevant sources of information including the Project Document, project reports including Annual Project Reports/TPR, project budget revisions, and any other materials that the evaluation consultant considers useful for this evidence-based review. The MTR team is expected to follow a collaborative and participatory approach ensuring close engagement with the Project Team, local communities, CSO partners, and other key stakeholders. The MTR team will assess the following four categories of project progress. These categories are: project strategy, progress towards results (outputs, outcomes and impact), project implementation and adaptive management, and sustainability.
The MTR consultancy will be for 20 working days (to be supplied of days) starting July to September 2020. **
