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 as part of the Impact Programme for the Integrated
Management of Forest Landscapes in the Congo Basin – Cameroon segement’ with a view to
developing and implementing a participatory system for monitoring the results and impacts of
NTFP enterprise development efforts, particularly in terms of benefits, changes in attitudes and
behavior, reduction of threats and improved biodiversity conservation in the CAMPO, TNS and
TRIDOM landscapes.
I. Context and justification
The project entitled ‘‘Impact Programme for the Integrated Management of Forest Landscapes
in the Congo Basin – Cameroon segement’’, commonly known as GEF 7 Project, aims to
strengthen the integrated management of Cameroon's globally important forest landscapes in
the Congo Basin in order to guarantee its biological integrity and increase economic
opportunities and livelihoods for forest-dependent populations. Over a six-year period, the
project will address the main barriers and drivers of deforestation, forest degradation and
biodiversity loss through an inclusive and integrated approach that aims to achieve and
maintain the effective participation and empowerment of indigenous peoples and local
communities (PACL) and local communities (PACL) and builds their resilience. The project is
being implemented across the Cameroon segments of three transboundary landscapes: (i) the
Campo Ma'an-Rio Campo landscape (769,446 ha), particularly around the Campo Ma'an
National Park; (ii) the Tri-National Dja-Odzala-Minkebe (TRIDOM) landscape (4,949,174 ha),
and (iii) the Tri-National de la Sangha (TNS) landscape (1,490,552 ha), particularly in and
around the Lobéké National Park.
This will be achieved through 05 components, including component 3 which is: ‘Advancing
sustainable forest management (SFM) through non-timber forest product (NTFP) and timber
value chains’. In order to provide a quality analysis of the development of NTFPs, it is important
to have a monitoring and evaluation tool to track results and assess the impact of the
development of value chains on the well-being of populations and on the sustainable
management of forests.
II. Purpose of the consultation
1. Main objective
Develop and make operational a participatory monitoring and evaluation system to regularly
monitor the results and impacts of NTFP enterprise development efforts in target communities
and to inform the project's adaptation strategies.
2. Specific objectives
 1 participatory impact monitoring and evaluation system is available in the 3 landscapes by
December 2024,
 100% of the NTFP enterprises and associations in the communes where the project is being
implemented are involved in the process of developing the participatory monitoring and
evaluation system,
 The people interviewed recognise the positive socio-economic impact of NTFPs in their daily
lives.
III. Methodological approach
After publishing the offer, candidates will submit a technical and financial proposal. The
technical proposal will include the approach for carrying out the service. In its proposal, the
consultant will also describe the approach it will use to ensure the operationalisation of the tool
and the participation of stakeholders in general, and of indigenous peoples and women in
particular. The implementation approach therefore comprises two parts : the theoretical part,
which will consist of developing the participatory monitoring and evaluation system, and the
practical part, which will consist of training stakeholders in the use of the system.
