WWF UK Wholescape Programme - Review and Evaluation of Large-scale Conservation Initiatives in the UK and Europe

Tender description

Please read TOR document for full information. WWF-UK seeks an academic partner and/or research consultancy to inform the development of a new Wholescape Programme, which ultimately will direct our investment in on-the-ground work across the UK. The project will be structured around the following tasks: Task 1: work with WWF-UK to finalise a research framework and areas of research that will form the basis of the consultancy. Task 2: undertake desk-based research, providing monthly updates on progress to WWF-UK. Task 3: provide between 5 and 8 detailed case studies of initiatives that have either planned or delivered work that incorporates at least two pillars of the Triple Challenge e.g., climate and nature, nature and people, taking into account the need for examples at multiple scales (Study Objective III). Separately signposting to key project staff and stakeholders to enable WWF UK to build on desk-based research later. Task 4: delivery of a report that synthesizes findings from tasks 2 and 3 into a document that can be used to 'mine' information to inform the development and delivery of the Wholescape. The report will provide an evaluation of the case studies in terms of what worked well and what didn't, enabling WWF UK to integrate findings into the Wholescape Programme. The report will be no more than 50 pages in total, but accompanied by a summary with headline findings. Task 5: final presentation of findings delivered either in person at one of the three WWF-UK offices (Edinburgh, Cardiff or Woking) or virtually.
