Overview :

The Scaling up community resilience to climate variability and climate change in Northern Namibia, with a special focus on women and children (SCORE) Project is a project for the Ministry of Environment and Tourism; and the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry (MAWF) that is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and is being implemented by UNDP. The objective of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of rural communities to drought and floods in Northern Namibia, with special focus on women and children. The project is being implemented in seven northern regions of Namibia namely: Oshana, Omusati, Ohangwena, Oshikoto, Kunene, Kavango West and Kavango East. These regions are regularly and increasingly threatened by extreme weather events such as floods which causes damage to infrastructure and agricultural productivity, as well as severe droughts. A combined effect of these natural disasters has detrimental effect on the livelihoods of people.

The project aimed to strengthen the adaptive capacity of 4000 households to climate change and reduce their vulnerability to droughts and floods, with 80% of these households being women-led, and children from 75 schools in Northern Namibia. Its desired outcomes include: (1) Smallholder adaptive capacity for climate resilient agricultural practices strengthened; (2) Reduce vulnerability to droughts and floods; and (3) Mainstreaming climate change into national agricultural strategy/sectoral policy, including budgetary adjustments for replication and scaling.

As the project end is drawing closer, a Terminal Evaluation (TE) needs to be conducted. The objectives of the evaluation are to assess the achievement of project results, and to draw lessons that can both 

improve the sustainability of benefits from this project, and aid in the overall enhancement of UNDP programming.  

The TE will be conducted according to the guidance, rules and procedures established by UNDP and GEF as reflected in the UNDP Evaluation Guidance for GEF Financed Projects. 

Against the above background, a team of two (2) consultants is needed to conduct the TE. The overall evaluation will be conducted by an international consultant, supported by a national consultant
