| 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 Securing multiple ecosystems benefit through SLM in the productive but degraded landscapes of South Africa (PIMS 5054). As per the Project Document, the project was implemented by the national Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Affairs (DFFE), in partnership with three Responsible Parties (Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research, CSIR; Rhodes University; and Endangered Wildlife Trust, EWT). The project is in its fifth year of implementation. The TE process must follow the UNDP Evaluation Plan for the country office, and the guidance outlined in the document entitled, Guidance for Conducting Terminal Evaluations of UNDP-Supported, GEF-Financed Projects (http://web.undp.org/evaluation/guideline/documents/GEF/TE_GuidanceforUNDP-supportedGEF-financedProjects.pdf A TE team of two evaluators will conduct the TE – one team leader (with international experience and exposure to projects and evaluations in other regions/countries); and one national team expert, resident in South Africa. Important to note that this TOR is specifically for the national expert. The ToR for the international evaluator will be shared separately. |
