Project Name:                     Stewards of Natural Resources – strengthening livelihoods for communities in the Thanintharyi Region, Myanmar

We are looking for a team of Consultants for Project Terminal Evaluation.

Project Background

Majority of the inhabitants in the Tanintharyi Landscape Corridor belong to the Karen ethnic group with low income level and farming as their main source of income. Communities depend heavily on intact forests for their daily livelihoods. Some of the key concerns cited by the target communities include forest loss, low farm productivity, low water supply and quality and land grabbing. Amidst these challenges, the new political development in Myanmar offers opportunities for political participation and improving natural resources governance. In preparing the project proposal WWF MM conducted in 2015 a survey of people’s attitude and perception of natural resources and in 2016 a livelihood assessment. The livelihood of 10 communities is improved through their strengthened access and management rights as well as enhanced capacities in and enabled structures for sustainable natural resources management. This shall be achieved through a participatory developed sustainable forest landscape vision developed by representatives of communities, regional government agencies. The vision shall guide these stakeholders in sustainable development and land use planning. Productivity of small-holder farmers shall be improved through improvement of agricultural and agro- forestry practices, establishment of producer groups and access to markets and micro-finance schemes. This shall lead to higher and more sustainable incomes.

Major Outcomes

  • Participatory sustainable forest landscape vision for the Tanintharyi Landscape Corridor is developed and forest restoration piloted
  • Land tenure and natural resources use rights of 10 communities are identified and submitted for official recognition
  • Economic opportunities based on sustainable NRM for local communities are strengthened

Purposes of Evaluation

  • To assess quantitatively and qualitatively the project’s achievement against the intended outcome and outputs
  • To assess the project’s relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and (structural/ economic, social, ecological) sustainability
  • To identify internal and external factors (e.g. political, climate, social, structural) contributing towards/ avoiding the achievement of outcome and outputs
  • To assess how under adaptive management old and new approaches differ, what are their respective advantages and disadvantages with regard to the OECD DAC criteria
  • To identify quantitatively and qualitatively other, particularly longerterm and unexpected effects on the direct and indirect target groups
  • To develop strong and clear recommendations on good practices, lessons learned and how to overcome gaps and risks
  • To develop strong and clear recommendations for an effective, efficient and sustainable implementation of the landscape vision and management plan as well as the governance mechanism necessary for it
