Call for Expression of Interest – Implementation of a results-oriented monitoring (ROM) and evaluation plan based on the log-frame within the framework of the UNCTAD biotrade principles and criteria

76

Implementation of a results-oriented monitoring (ROM) and evaluation plan based on the log-frame within the framework of the UNCTAD biotrade principles and criteria, that clarifies the logical thinking behind the project, by showing how inputs will be utilized to realise activities that will lead to outputs, outcomes, and eventually development impact/objective.

The ABS Compliant Bio-trade in South(ern) Africa (ABioSA) project is funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, under the umbrella of the Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) Capacity Development Initiative, a multi-donor funded programme. ABioSA is hosted within the GIZ Centre for Cooperation with the Private Sector (CCPS), which hosts four regional/global programmes that support sustainable development for employment, economic growth and natural resources. ABioSA is implemented in close partnership with the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), which leads the South African government’s approach to biotrade. This collaboration is guided by existing SA policy and legislation, such as the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act of 10/2004 (NEMBA); and the amended Bioprospecting Access and Benefit-Sharing (BABS) regulations which govern access to South Africa’s indigenous plants and ensure communities benefit from their use. Within this context the project also supports the prioritisation of DEFFs top species identified for cultivation and sustainable harvesting.

This 3-year second phase aims to support the development of a resilient economic, gender responsive, Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) compliant southern African biotrade sector through a systemic competitiveness approach with all the relevant biotrade stakeholders/actors (micro, meso and macro level) to increase the market access for value-added natural ingredients and products where communities are included.

The Assignment:

The project requires a consultancy/consortium of consultants to support the implementation of a results-oriented monitoring (ROM) and evaluation plan based on the ABioSA logframe within the framework of the UNCTAD biotrade principles and criteria.

The plan should include:

  1. Baseline assessment phase (±Jun’22 – Jan’23) – 35% of the project
  2. Mid-term review phase (± Jun – Oct’23) – 25% of the project
  3. Close-out evaluation phase (±Jun – Sept’24) – 40% of the project
