Background
In mid-2015, the Council for the Global Environment Facility (GEF) approved, as part of its "Programmatic Approach" titled Global Partnership on Wildlife Conservation and Crime Prevention for Sustainable Development, a Child Project Concept for Mozambique with UNDP as the selected GEF agency. The project has the following titles and reference:
UNDP-GEF Project Title
Strengthening the conservation of globally threatened species in Mozambique through improving biodiversity enforcement and expanding community conservancies around protected areas
Reference short title
• PIMS 5474 Mozambique Conservancies and Wildlife
• See more information about the GEF’s Programme here:
• www.thegef.org/gef/project_detail?projID=9071
• Refer to the approved Child Project Concept for Mozambique here: http://bit.ly/1OnqFjW
The project’s target GEF funding is $15.75M and it has been duly endorsed by the Government of Mozambique, which selected Gorongosa National Park and Niassa Reserve in Mozambique as project implementation sites, in addition to a national capacity building component.
The full project to be developed on the basis of the Child Project Concept is slated to be implemented through a partnership among the National Agency for Conservation Areas (ANAC), the Ministry of Land, the Environment and Rural Development (MITADER), responsible for the national-level activities, and civil society organizations (CSOs) Gorongosa Restoration Project (GRP) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), which have the respective responsibility for managing the two mentioned protected sites.
The project aims to strengthen the conservation of globally threatened species in Mozambique through implementation of the Conservation Areas Act (Law 16/2014). The project will both improve the enforcement aspect of biodiversity management, in light of the need to comply with CITES (Convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora threatened with extinction), and it will contribute to expanding the country's protected areas estate, creating the first community conservancies, while also implementing targeted rural development action.
Project Preparation Process
In order to prepare the required documentation for the final approval of the project, a Project Preparation Grant (PPG) provided by the GEF is being implemented with clear and realistic targets and deliverables.
The GEF submission documentation to be prepared consists of a complete UNDP Project Document (PRODOC) and a CEO Endorsement Request form, to be duly filled in on the basis of the PRODOC, which takes precedence. These two key documents are to be accompanied along with co-financing letters, indicator tracking tools for the applicable GEF focal areas and social-environmental risk screening, using UNDP's methodological procedure.
These documents need to submitted to the GEF no later than December 2016, and hence need to be ready for UNDP’s internal review by end October 2016, after due national validation.
The project responds to national priorities and its PRODOC needs to be prepared in close collaboration with key government partners in several institutions, financing partners, research entities, the private sector and in particular with the CSOs responsible for the management of targeted protected areas.
The project includes the following three components:
National strategy to promote the value of wildlife and combat illegal wildlife trafficking;
Strengthening enforcement capacity in key protected areas to combat wildlife crime on the ground; and
Establishing conservancies to expand PA complexes, bringing sustainable land and forest management benefits, restoring degraded ecosystems and generating livelihoods.
The Child Project Concept received early comments from the GEF Secretariat, while four of the GEF’s Council members, as well as the GEF’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) provide thorough and insightful comments on the Programmatic Approach on Wildlife Crime. These comments, together with comments from the GEF Secretariat need to be addressed during the project preparation phase and this needs to be reflected in the final documentation. They are included in the annex to the TOR:

Expected Duration of Assignment: Up to 90 effective working days in 2016
Background
In mid-2015, the Council for the Global Environment Facility (GEF) approved, as part of its "Programmatic Approach" titled Global Partnership on Wildlife Conservation and Crime Prevention for Sustainable Development, a Child Project Concept for Mozambique with UNDP as the selected GEF agency. The project has the following titles and reference:
UNDP-GEF Project Title
Strengthening the conservation of globally threatened species in Mozambique through improving biodiversity enforcement and expanding community conservancies around protected areas
Reference short title
• PIMS 5474 Mozambique Conservancies and Wildlife
• See more information about the GEF’s Programme here:
• www.thegef.org/gef/project_detail?projID=9071
• Refer to the approved Child Project Concept for Mozambique here: http://bit.ly/1OnqFjW
The project’s target GEF funding is $15.75M and it has been duly endorsed by the Government of Mozambique, which selected Gorongosa National Park and Niassa Reserve in Mozambique as project implementation sites, in addition to a national capacity building component.
The full project to be developed on the basis of the Child Project Concept is slated to be implemented through a partnership among the National Agency for Conservation Areas (ANAC), the Ministry of Land, the Environment and Rural Development (MITADER), responsible for the national-level activities, and civil society organizations (CSOs) Gorongosa Restoration Project (GRP) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), which have the respective responsibility for managing the two mentioned protected sites.
The project aims to strengthen the conservation of globally threatened species in Mozambique through implementation of the Conservation Areas Act (Law 16/2014). The project will both improve the enforcement aspect of biodiversity management, in light of the need to comply with CITES (Convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora threatened with extinction), and it will contribute to expanding the country's protected areas estate, creating the first community conservancies, while also implementing targeted rural development action.
Project Preparation Process
In order to prepare the required documentation for the final approval of the project, a Project Preparation Grant (PPG) provided by the GEF is being implemented with clear and realistic targets and deliverables.
The GEF submission documentation to be prepared consists of a complete UNDP Project Document (PRODOC) and a CEO Endorsement Request form, to be duly filled in on the basis of the PRODOC, which takes precedence. These two key documents are to be accompanied along with co-financing letters, indicator tracking tools for the applicable GEF focal areas and social-environmental risk screening, using UNDP's methodological procedure.
These documents need to submitted to the GEF no later than December 2016, and hence need to be ready for UNDP’s internal review by end October 2016, after due national validation.
The project responds to national priorities and its PRODOC needs to be prepared in close collaboration with key government partners in several institutions, financing partners, research entities, the private sector and in particular with the CSOs responsible for the management of targeted protected areas.
The project includes the following three components:
National strategy to promote the value of wildlife and combat illegal wildlife trafficking;
Strengthening enforcement capacity in key protected areas to combat wildlife crime on the ground; and
Establishing conservancies to expand PA complexes, bringing sustainable land and forest management benefits, restoring degraded ecosystems and generating livelihoods.
The Child Project Concept received early comments from the GEF Secretariat, while four of the GEF’s Council members, as well as the GEF’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) provide thorough and insightful comments on the Programmatic Approach on Wildlife Crime. These comments, together with comments from the GEF Secretariat need to be addressed during the project preparation phase and this needs to be reflected in the final documentation. They are included in the annex to the TOR:
