The GBIF Secretariat seeks proposals from consultants to research and draft a written study assessing the impact of the first phase of the Biodiversity Information for Development (BID) programme (2015-2019) in its target regions of sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and Pacific (ACP), using selected indicators recommended in a baseline study carried out in the early phase of the programme.
In order to report effectively on the results of the BID programme, GBIF Secretariat is committed to providing an impact study giving an overview of the difference that the programme has made in the target regions, as well as in the GBIF community more widely. The impact study will follow up the baseline study carried out in 2016. Drawing on the baseline study, the following indicators are recommended as the core of the impact study. The Consultant is welcome to suggest other indicators of impact.
