World Wildlife Fund, Inc. (WWF) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) require a terminal evaluation (TE) for all full and medium-sized projects. The following terms of reference (TOR) set out the expectations for the TE for the project “Financial tools for small scale fishers in Melanesia,” hereafter referred to as the “Project”. The technical consultant(s) selected to conduct this evaluation will be referred to as “evaluator” throughout this TOR. 
 
The Project seeks to improve the resilience of vulnerable coastal communities to the adverse impacts of climate change, including major shock events, in Fiji and PNG. The project works in three communities: Tavua District and Macuata Qoliqoli Cokovata in Fiji, and Madang province in PNG. 
 
The Project was organized into the following components and outcomes: 
 
Component 1: Enabling environment for ex ante risk financing to improve resilience for coastal communities in Tavua District and Qoliqoli Cokovata in Fiji and Madang Province in PNG.1.1 Climate risks, coverage priorities, and risk pooling options identified1.2 Improved financial literacy to engage with risk financing and financial products for climate resilience amongst coastal community members1.3 Markets developed in the target geographies to provide insurance products for community level climate resilience and adaptationComponent 2: Financial products and incentives for coastal communities2.1 Insurance program(s) designed to underpin improved financial resilience to climate shock events for three target communities, including developing options for incentivizing sustainable ecosystem management practices and other climate adaptation measures in risk-responsive pricing2.2 Premium financing identified and mobilization pursuedComponent 3: Knowledge Management and Monitoring & Evaluation3.1 Effective project communications, knowledge management and adaptive management   See the WWF GEF project website https://www.worldwildlife.org/projects/financial-tools-for-small-scale-fishers-in-melanesia for additional details and project documents.

The objectives of this evaluation are to examine the extent, magnitude and sustainability of any project impacts to date; identify concerns as well as best practices; assess progress towards project outcomes and outputs; and draw lessons learned that can both improve the sustainability of benefits from this project and aid in the enhancement of future related projects. The evaluator is expected to frame the evaluation effort using the seven (7) core criteria of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, results/impact, sustainability and adaptive capacity. Particular emphasis will be placed on effectiveness, efficiency, results/impact and sustainability. See Annexes A – D for definitions of these criteria, additional assessment areas and ratings, and a sample report outline.
