| Overview : N.B.: This vacancy announcement is extended and in such, the deadline dates noted below will be discussed after the selection. Project Title: Enhancing Effectiveness and Financial Sustainability of Protected Areas in Malaysia Project Description: This is the Terms of Reference for the UNDP-GEF Midterm Review (MTR) of the full-sized project titled Enhancing Effectiveness and Financial Sustainability of Protected Areas in Malaysia (PIMS#3967) (also knowns as PA Financing project) implemented by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks in Malaysia, which is to be undertaken in June 2016. The project started on the 5 June 2012 and is in its fifth year of implementation. The project is scheduled to end on 30 June 2019. In line with the UNDP-GEF Guidance on MTRs, this MTR process was initiated before the submission of the fourth Project Implementation Report (PIR). The MTR process must follow the guidance outlined in the document Guidance for Conducting Midterm Reviews of UNDP-Supported, GEF-Financed Projects (see http://web.undp.org/evaluation/documents/guidance/GEF/mid-term/Guidance_Midterm%20Review%20_EN_2014.pdf). The PA Financing project was designed to address the sub-optimal management and inadequate resources invested in the protected area system in Malaysia with primary focus on the three protected area networks covering a total area of 2.98 million hectares, managed by the Federal Department of Wildlife and National Parks, Johor National Parks Corporation and Perak State Parks Corporation. The objective of the project is to establish a performance-based financing structure to support effective protected area system management in Malaysia. Interventions to achieve this objective are structured into three outcome components, designed to address barriers at the national, sub-national network and site PA levels respectively: Outcome 1: Systemic and institutional capacities to manage and financially support a national PA system by addressing barriers at the national systems level to improve management effectiveness and financial sustainability of protected areas. Outcome 2: Technical and institutional capacities to manage sub-national PA networks, including capacities for effective financial management by strengthening the sub-PA network capacity to be able to meet the management standards set under Outcome 1 so as to decrease funding gap of the PA network. Outcome 3: Effective site-level PA management by improving basic PA management capacities where required, and will also enhance the management and business planning skills of PA managers, to enable the PA system to maximize revenue generation and to streamline costs.
