The BLF Madagascar is a large conservation research project being carried out in a designated priority country. The proposed consultancy supports capacity to meet with the primary mission of the project. This mission is to provide evidence-based recommendations to the Malagasy government for improving protected area management towards sustaining livelihoods of local communities, lowering biodiversity losses and reducing climate change impacts. Failure to rapidly recruit this consultant in the wake of the loss of our current coordinator will lead to a much lower chance of achieving the mission due the 6-month void that would occur through normal procurement with a further 3-month onboarding requirement for a project of this scale and complexity. This within a 24-month project window remaining.
