| Overview : In accordance with UNDP and GEF M&E policies and procedures, all full- and medium-sized UNDP-supported GEF-financed projects are required to undergo a Terminal Evaluation (TE) at the end of the project. This Terms of Reference (ToR) sets out the expectations for the TE of the full sized project titled Improving Management Effectiveness of the Protected Area Network (PIMS 4943) implemented through the South Africa National Parks (SANParks). The project started on the 29 June 2015 and is in its seventh year of implementation. The project has thus far received two extensions, the latter being from 01 July 2021 - 31 December 2021 The TE process must follow the guidance outlined in the document ‘Guidance for Conducting Terminal Evaluations of UNDP-Supported, GEF-Financed Projects’ (http://web.undp.org/evaluation/guideline/documents/GEF/TE_GuidanceforUNDP-supportedGEF-financedProjects.pdf and UNDP Evaluation Plan for the country office. The TE will assess project performance against expectations set out in the project’s Logical Framework/Results Framework (see ToR Annex A). The TE will assess results according to the criteria outlined in the Guidance for TEs of UNDP-supported GEF-financed Projects http://web.undp.org/evaluation/guideline/documents/GEF/TE_GuidanceforUNDP-supportedGEF-financedProjects.pdf The Findings section of the TE report will cover the topics listed below. - Project Design/Formulation
