This is the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the UNDP-GEF Midterm Review (MTR) of the full-sized project titled Combating Illegal Wildlife Trade and Human Wildlife Conflict in Angola (PIMS# 5993) implemented by the Ministry of Environment (MINAMB) through the National Institute of Biodiversity and Conservation (INBC), which is to be undertaken between end of March 10 to end of April 2024. The project started on the 30th July 2020 (date of project document signature), with the inception workshop held on July 21, 2021, due to delays in recruitment of the project management unit caused by institutional challenges (recurrent changes of Ministers).
