The terminal review seeks to assess project performance (in terms of relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency), and determines outcomes and impacts (actual and potential) stemming from the project, including their sustainability. The review has two primary purposes: (i) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and (ii) to promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UNEP, and the relevant agencies of the project participating countries. The consultant will prepare an analysis based on the evidence gathered through the evaluation, and using triangulation of sources to provide lessons learned and recommendations for change and adaptation for the new project document.
