Through this Terms of Reference (ToR), the Authority is seeking a Supplier to carry out an Evaluation of the Counter Illegal Wildlife Trade Ranger Training Programme. This Terms of Reference (“ToR”) sets out the Authority’s requirements for a Supplier to undertake an independent evaluation of the CIWT Ranger Training Programme activities in Malawi and Zambia from 2017-2022.
