The report would provide a snapshot of focus areas, such as capacity building, on-ground demonstrations and multi-actor engagement.
This report will be used for engagement with donors, academia and at international events to help position WWF’s efforts. The report will showcase the wealth of knowledge and tools developed, and demonstrate how these were used in practice.
The consultant will work very closely with one technical team to understand the background and journey of the programme, as well as with WWF-Myanmar’s Communications and Advocacy team to support with strategizing the messaging and structure of the report.
