The United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the world's environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the environment.
Under the supervision of the AEF Steering Committee and the AEF Secretariat hosted under the UNEP Law Division, the Consultant will work on this two-part assignment with the following objectives:
To undertake a mapping study of approximately 20 largest regional and international organizations and initiatives working on elephant conservation in Africa, including the CITES-MIKE programme. This is aimed at identifying the organizations/initiatives that are active in these efforts, understand the work already being undertaken, and identify opportunities, gaps and possible areas of collaboration for the AEF. The mapping will identify the type of organizations/initiatives (e.g. NGOs, for-profits, etc), the scale and scope of the activities undertaken, and their knowledge management tools (e.g. databases on information on the African elephant) . Where possible, it will also identify the challenges facing them, their resources, and the areas of potential collaboration with the AEF. For this study, 'large' organizations/initiatives are defined as those that have an annual budget exceeding USD 500,000, operate in several African regions or countries and have been operating for more than 5 years. More detailed selection criteria will be determined during the consultancy assignment.
Based on the findings of the mapping study described above, to develop a draft strategy to guide the operations of the African Elephant Fund (AEF), including a Theory of Change (ToC). This is aimed at building on the growth and impact achieved over the past 10-plus years to further strengthen the engagement with and among the range States, and to scale the impact of AEF funded projects to the regional and continental levels.
The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Chief of the Environmental Conventions and Policy Branch and Head of the AEF Secretariat. The consultant will also report to the AEF Steering Committee.
