Indo-Burma

Description

1) Objective

The CEPF Secretariat intends to conduct an evaluation of the regional implementation team (RIT) of the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot to inform future involvement in the region. The RIT provides strategic leadership for the program, which is implemented in Cambodia, China, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam.

In each of the biodiversity hotspots where it invests, CEPF selects an RIT to provide strategic leadership for the program. Each RIT consists of one or more civil society organizations active in conservation in the hotspot. The objective of the RIT is to convert the plans in the ecosystem profile into a cohesive portfolio of grants that achieves the objectives outlined in the logical framework. In each hotspot, CEPF will commission an independent evaluation of the incumbent RIT toward the end of the investment phase. This will comprise a review of the performance of the incumbent RIT and challenges, opportunities and lessons learned associated with the RIT role. In combination with the final assessment of the results of the hotspot investment (conducted as a separate exercise), this evaluation will enable future applicants for the RIT role (in the event of a re-investment) to be better informed about the experience of the incumbent RIT and the results achieved, and create a more competitive environment for all applicants.

2) Eligibility

CEPF will accept proposals from any qualified organization, including NGOs, private consulting firms and universities.

3) Location

Actions must take place in Cambodia, China, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam.

4) Budget
