Location: Tashkent and Sherabad district, UZBEKISTAN
Application Deadline : 21-Jun-10
Additional Category Environment and Energy
Type of Contract: SSA
Post Level: International Consultant
Languages Required: English
Expected Duration of Assignment: 25 working days during July- August 2010


Background

The full version of Terms of reference for the Project Mid-term Evaluation is available at: http://www.undp.uz/en/projects/project.php?id=146

The objective of the project is to demonstrate new management approaches for expansion of protected area system of Uzbekistan. The globally significant biodiversity of Uzbekistan is protected through a system of protected areas covering 5.57% of the territory. The strict nature reserves represent the most numerous and important instrument of in situ biodiversity conservation in the country. Under current conditions, the National Protected Area System (NPAS) of Uzbekistan does not effectively safeguard its biodiversity against threats, as it is not ecologically representative. Large number of species, ecosystems and ecological processes are not adequately protected and the management regimes of the existing protected areas do not provide full security for particular species or ecosystems. The project aims to demonstrate new management approaches for the expansion of protected area system in Uzbekistan. One of the planned interventions of the future project is to provide a test ground for the ”buffer zone” provisions of the new Protected Area Law, by adjusting reserves’ boundaries, rezoning and working with local communities for the establishment of the first community – owned and managed protected areas in Uzbekistan. The proposed project will build the management capacity of all strict nature reserves across the country, to effectively utilize opportunities that have been opened up by the adoption of the new law. The project has the following three outcomes:

- master plan for PAS of Uzbekistan is guiding the expansion;
- Strengthened institutional and individual capacity to enable expansion and improved management effectiveness; and
- Demonstration of new conservation management approaches (new governance approaches) in buffer areas of strictly nature reserves in Uzbekistan.

The actual operations of the UNDP-GEF Project “PIMS 2111 BD MSP. Strengthening Sustainability of the National Protected Area System by Focusing on Strictly Protected Areas” started in June 2008 – when the project was signed by the Government. The total project budget is US$ 2,215,000, out of which the GEF contribution comprises US$ 975,000. The national executing agency responsible for the project from the side of the Government is Main Forestry Department of Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources.

Objective of the Mid-Term Evaluation

The evaluation is intended to provide a comprehensive overall assessment of the project and provides an opportunity to critically assess administrative and technical strategies issues and constrains associated with large international and multi-partner initiatives. The evaluation should also provide recommendations for strategies, approaches and/or activities to improve the potential of the Project to achieve expected outcomes and meet the objective within the Project timeframe. Findings of this evaluation will be incorporated as recommendations for enhanced implementation of the current project phase in the future years.

The purpose of the Mid-Term Evaluation is:

- To assess overall performance against the Project objective and outcomes as set out in Project Document and other related documents
- To assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the Project
- To analyze critically the implementation and management arrangements of the Project
- To assess the progress to date towards achievement of the outcomes;
- To review planned strategies and plans for achieving the overall objective of the Project within the timeframe;
- To assess the sustainability of the project’s interventions.
- To list and document initial lessons concerning Project design, implementation and management
- To assess Project relevance to national priorities
- To provide guidance for the future Project activities and, if necessary, for the implementation and management arrangements.

In particular, this evaluation will assess progress in establishing the information baseline, reducing threats, and identifying any difficulties in project implementation and their causes, and recommend corrective course of action. Effective action to rectify any identify issues hindering implementation will be a requirement prior to determining whether implementation should proceed.

Project performance will be measured based on Project’s Logical Framework Matrix, which provides clear performance and impact indicators for project implementation along with their corresponding means of verification. Many of these indicators relate to the reduction/prevention of the key threats to biodiversity. Success and failure will be determined in part by monitoring changes in baseline conditions. The Report of the Mid-Term Evaluation will be stand-alone document that substantiates its recommendations and conclusions.

The Government Executing Agency, the project personnel, and other stakeholders are also interested to have an independent and experienced evaluation of the project at the “halfway stage” so that major management and technical issues can be highlighted and addressed and the best possible basis created for the projects long term success.
Considering the challenging socio-economic and political environment, UNDP Uzbekistan is highly interested in the independent evaluation of the project’s progress and possible ways to adjust the project strategy, if necessary, in order to achieve the stated objective. Based on the evaluation results of other UNDP-GEF projects in Uzbekistan: i) “Establishing Nuratau-Kyzylkum biosphere reserve as a model for biodiversity conservation in Uzbekistan”; ii) “Conservation of Tugai Forest and Strengthening Protected Areas System in the Amu Darya Delta of Karakalpakstan” (Uzbekistan)” and recent developments in UNDP corporate result-based management principles, UNDP-Uzbekistan already sees potential problems in legal establishment of a PA where the actual decision depends on the Governmental counterparts and not on UNDP and project team;
Therefore evaluation should be focused on an estimation of an opportunity of decision-making of the Government of Uzbekistan.
Particular emphasis should be put on the current project results and the possibility of achieving all the objectives in the given timeframe, taking into consideration the speed, at which the project is proceeding.

This evaluation is to be undertaken taking into consideration the GEF Monitoring and Evaluation policy: http://thegef.org/MonitoringandEvalu...rocedures.html and the UNDP/GEF Monitoring and Evaluation Policy: http://www.undp.org/gef/05/monitoring/policies.html

Efficient and transparent management of the budget system becomes an important tool to address these problems in this context.
