The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Cameroon is recruiting a Consultant to carry out
the mapping of actors involved in the restoration of TRIDOM Cameroon forest landscape.

Want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our one shared home the
Earth? Working with WWF could be the opportunity of a lifetime:

All around the world, people are waking up to the deepening crisis of nature loss. A growing
realization that nature is our life-support system. Nobody will be spared from the impacts of its
loss. Here at WWF, we are helping to tackle this enormous global challenge.
Our people come from hugely diverse backgrounds and with a variety of expertise, ranging
from HR and finance to advocacy and conservation science. We welcome applications from
anyone who believes they can help us create a better future for people and wildlife.

What we do:
We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the natural world for the
benefit of people and wildlife. From individuals and communities to businesses and
government, we are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to set nature on the
path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the
mass extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainably.
We are looking for a Consultant to carry out the mapping of actors involved in the restoration
of TRIDOM Cameroon forest landscape.

1. Context and justification
Faced with the accelerated degradation of forests and land, the international community has
undertaken several actions to reverse the trends, namely: the Bonn Challenge and the AFR100
Initiative which are two examples of movements that promote forest landscape restoration as
a key ingredient in strengthening economies and building resilience to climate shocks, as well
as a climate change mitigation measure. Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) is not just about
planting trees: it is about restoring an entire landscape and is defined as a process aimed at
regaining ecological functionality and improving human well-being in deforested or degraded
landscapes. FLR is a means of restoring, enhancing and maintaining vital ecological and social
functions, leading in the long term to more resilient and sustainable landscapes.
WWF, aware of the environmental, social and economic challenges of forest landscape
degradation, launched the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative in 2021. It brings
together nine (09) African offices to work with governments, local and regional partners,
indigenous peoples and local communities and the private sector to raise the profile of forest
restoration and scale up implementation of the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative
(AFR100) commitments.
The Initiative seeks to converge and, where possible, integrate the actions of government and
other partners not only towards a national discourse that presents forest restoration as an
economic, political and social solution to the current forest loss crisis, but also to lobby for

restoration.
The WWF Initiative vision supports fair and effective implementation in degraded forest
landscapes, mosaics and other degraded landscapes to achieve a restoration target of at least
13.5 million ha, or 35% of AFR 100 commitments by 2027. This target should not be seen in
isolation, but rather as supporting the implementation of ongoing activities by stakeholders,
including government, indigenous peoples and local communities, the private sector and civil
society.
As part of the implementation of activities to restore degraded forest landscapes, WWF
proposes to engage the services of a consultant to carry out a study on the mapping of
restoration stakeholders in the TRIDOM landscape.
2. Overall objective of the study
The overall objective of the study is to identify and characterize state and non-state actors
(government, CSO, private sector, communities, etc.) in the field of restoration of degraded
forest landscapes.
3. Specific objectives
Specifically, through this study, it involves:
· Identify and categorize actors involved in the TRIDOM landscape in terms of restoration of
degraded forest landscapes;
· Identify the nature of actors' interventions, their achievements and means mobilized;
· Make recommendations or suggestions enabling synergies of actions to be undertaken
with a view to better intervention.
4. Recommended methodology
Methodology for developing the cartography may combine:
· Documentary review of available data on the various identified actors working in predefined
themes and meeting set criteria;
· Field surveys, interviews with main actors, focus groups, semi-directed interviews with
different actors, interviews with main Informants;
· An evaluation of actions undertaken by identified actors, and any other necessary and
identified steps;
A more detailed methodology must be presented by the consultant.5. Missions expected from the consultant
The consultant must:
• Present to WWF a concept note describing methodology, execution schedule and an
indicative list of key actors potentially interesting to include in the mapping;
• Take charge of the work of a targeted research of the actors, oriented according to the
guiding questions previously formulated as well as the collection of data concerning them;
• Develop and propose to WWF the summary and structure of the mapping report for
validation;
• Finalize the mapping and report which must be validated by WWF;
• Cooperate and coordinate with WWF and make any necessary changes to the report;
• Present the map developed during a restitution and validation meeting.
6. Expected result and deliverables
Result :
 WWF CCO has a mapping and global analysis of catering players in TRIDOM

7. Duration
The duration of the mission is twenty (20) working days from the date of signature of the
contract.
8. Requested profile
