A.    INTRODUCTION

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 TEs of the full-sized projects below:

.    Project 1: Conservation and sustainable use of indigenous agricultural genetic diversity in Hubei (PRC-GEF Partnership Program on Sustainable Agricultural Development (C-SAP) Project #4) (PIMS 5822)

This project is implemented by the Hubei Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The project started on September 29th, 2020, and is in its fourth year of implementation.

.    Project 2: Participatory in-situ conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity in Hainan (PRC-GEF Partnership Program on Sustainable Agricultural Development (C-SAP) Project #3) (PIMS 5823)

This project is implemented by the Hainan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The project started on October 26th, 2020, and is in its fourth year of implementation.

The TE process must follow the guidance outlined in the document ‘Guidance For Conducting Terminal

Evaluations of UNDP-Supported, GEF-Financed Projects: ( financedProjects.pdf ).

B.    PROJECT BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

This is the Terms of Reference for the following two projects: 1) Conservation and sustainable use of indigenous agricultural genetic diversity in Hubei (PRC-GEF Partnership Program on Sustainable Agricultural Development (C-SAP) Project #4: C-SAP 4 Project); 2) UNDP-GEF Terminal Evaluation (TE) of Participatory in-situ conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity in Hainan (PRC-GEF Partnership Program on Sustainable Agricultural Development (C-SAP) Project #3: C-SAP 3 Project)

1. Project 1: Conservation and sustainable use of indigenous agricultural genetic diversity in Hubei (PRC-GEF Partnership Program on Sustainable Agricultural Development (C-SAP) Project #4) (PIMS 5822)

Brief project description: The project is part of an innovative programmatic approach to mainstream in-situ conservation of agrobiodiversity across China and reduce key threats to globally significant genetic resources for food and agriculture (GRFA). This project is designed to remove barriers currently restricting the protection and sustainable use of indigenous agricultural genetic diversity in Hubei Province, contributing towards achievement of the long-term objective of strengthening conservation of Hubei’s globally important agrobiodiversity, through an enhanced provincial policy framework, strengthened institutional capacity, the establishment of innovative incentive mechanisms, and improved knowledge and understanding of the economic and environmental value of local GRFA varieties.

A core focus of the project is demonstration of innovative, participatory, partnership-based and incentivized approaches that support the achievement of long-term agrobiodiversity conservation and sustainable development outcomes. Participatory approaches will be implemented in three demonstration landscapes having a cumulative area of 15,500 hectares, with two landscapes situated within the Danjiangkou Reservoir area in northwestern Hubei and one within the Dabie Mountains region in the eastern part of the province. The target GRFA varieties in the demonstration landscapes include rouge rice (Oryza sative), Wudang Tao tea (Eurya alata) and black goat (Capra hircus).

The key  barriers are:1)The absence of a cohesive policy and regulatory framework to support the in-situ conservation of agrobiodiversity and a lack of inter-sectoral coordination mechanisms; 2) Uncoordinated and insufficient incentive mechanisms for farmers to engage in the conservation and sustainable use of local agricultural varieties; 3) Limited capacity for in-situ conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity and a lack of mainstreamed institutional support structures; 4) Lack of awareness on the importance of indigenous crops and livestock and a lack of access to knowledge and information.

The project strategy as the GEF alternative aimed at removing the barriers outlined above is broken.

Duties and Responsibilities

C.  TE PURPOSE

The TE report will assess the achievement of projects results against what were expected to be achieved and draw lessons that can both improve the sustainability of benefits from this project, and aid in the overall enhancement of UNDP programming. The TE report promotes accountability and transparency, also assesses the extent of project accomplishments.

The TE will also establish the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, performance and success of the project, including the sustainability of results and the long-term sustainability strategy. The TE will draw and analyze lessons learned through the project and best practices pertaining to the strategies employed, and implementation arrangements, which may be utilized to inform future programs.

Special Objectives: Gender and cross cutting issues. The terminal evaluation will assess the implementation status of Gender Analysis and Mainstreaming Action Plan, and will place a strong emphasis on gender equality and the integration of cross-cutting issues, reflecting UNDP’s commitment to these priorities across its programming. Special objectives include assessing the extent to which gender considerations have been effectively mainstreamed throughout the project cycle, from design to implementation and results.

Additionally, the TE will scrutinize the handling of cross-cutting issues such as human rights, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion, evaluating how these dimensions have been addressed to foster holistic and inclusive development outcomes.

D.  TE APPROACH & METHODOLOGY

D.1 General Methodologies

The TE report must provide evidence-based information that is credible, reliable and useful.

The TE team will review all relevant sources of information including documents prepared during the preparation phase (i.e.  PIF, UNDP Initiation Plan, UNDP Social and Environmental Screening Procedure/SESP) the Project Document, project reports including annual PIRs, project budget revisions, lesson learned reports, national  strategic and legal documents, and any other materials that the team considers useful for this evidence-based evaluation. The TE team will review the baseline and midterm GEF focal area Core Indicators/Tracking Tools submitted to the GEF at the CEO endorsement and midterm stages and the terminal Core Indicators/Tracking Tools that must be completed before the TE field mission begins.

The TE team is expected to follow a participatory and consultative approach ensuring close engagement with the Project Team, government counterparts (the GEF Operational Focal Point), Implementing Partners, the UNDP Country Office(s), the Regional Technical Advisor, direct beneficiaries and other stakeholders.

Engagement of stakeholders is vital to a successful TE. Stakeholder involvement should include interviews with stakeholders who have project responsibilities, including but not limited to Hubei Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Hainan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Ministry of Finance, member agencies of Project Board/PSC, senior officials and task team/component leaders, UNDP Regional Technical Advisor for the project, key experts and consultants in the subject areas, project beneficiaries, academia, local government and CSOs, etc. Additionally, the evaluation consultants are expected to conduct field missions to Yunyang, Danjiangkou and Xishui for PIMS 5822 Project and to Qiongzhong, Baisha and Qionghai for PIMS 5823 Project.

On gender and cross-cutting issues, the evaluation shall also evaluate the project’s impact on diverse groups and to identify any unintended consequences or gaps in programming. This may involve collecting and analyzing data on project outcomes disaggregated by gender and other relevant factors, as well as conducting stakeholder consultations and/or engaging with local communities. The evaluators shall also go to the field visit for the “tangible” result verification on the ground, facilitated by the Evaluation Reference Group.

The specific design and methodology for the TE should emerge from consultations between the TE team and the above-mentioned parties regarding what is appropriate and feasible for meeting the TE purpose and objectives and answering the evaluation questions, given limitations of budget, time and data. The TE team must, however, use gender-responsive methodologies and tools and ensure that gender equality and women’s empowerment, as well as other cross-cutting issues and SDGs are incorporated into the TE report.

The final methodological approach including interview schedule, field visits and data to be used in the evaluation must be clearly outlined in the TE Inception Report and be fully discussed and agreed between UNDP, stakeholders and the TE team.

The final report must describe the full TE approach taken and the rationale for the approach making explicit the underlying assumptions, challenges, strengths and weaknesses about the methods and approach of the evaluation.

D.2 Data collection and analysis

The TE team will first review all relevant sources of information including documents prepared during the preparation phase (i.e. PIF, UNDP Initiation Plan, UNDP Social and Environmental Screening Procedure/SESP) the Project Document, project reports including annual PIRs, project budget revisions, lesson learned reports, national strategic and legal documents, and any other materials that the team considers useful for this evidence-based evaluation. The TE team will review the baseline and midterm GEF focal area Core Indicators/Tracking Tools submitted to the GEF at the CEO endorsement and midterm stages and the terminal Core Indicators/Tracking Tools that must be completed before the TE field mission begins.

The evaluation shall then conduct a set of semi-structured interviews, including the Key Informant Interview (KII) and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). These interviews will be based on the methodologies and questions itemized above, whilst customizing these questions to different stakeholders. The evaluator shall also go to the field visit for the “tangible” result verification on the ground. The evaluator should triangulate data from various sources to ensure validity and reliability of the data.

E.  DETAILED SCOPE OF THE TE
