Literature and secondary data review: Identifying impact pathways from deforestation-free supply chains to forest conservation-DEval is looking for an consultant. The consultant will conduct the literature review based on the information in the reconstructed ToC of BMZ"s support for deforestation-free value chains, which will be provided upon contracting. The literature review should focus on validating intended impact pathways from outcome level to impact level. In addition, the consultant should explore whether other outcome-level results not included in the ToC contribute to impact-level effects. The review should also assess relevant contextual factors that enable or hinder the intended impact pathways and identify any unintended impact-level effects. Where the literature reports differentiated effects for certain (marginalised) groups, or an absence of effects, this should also be documented in the review. The consultant should review internationally available evidence on the impacts and regardless of the funder. The focus of the review should be on: 1) Scientific literature: the consultant should use a suitable search strategy to identify relevant peer-reviewed scientific literature, including systematic reviews, rapid evidence assessments and individual articles. To reduce risk of bias due to algorithms in generic search engines, the consultant should use scientific data bases for the literature search. To ease the process, relevant evidence gap maps (see 5 Additional Information) can be used. 2) Evaluation reports: this should include evaluation reports from relevant multilateral organisations such as the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, international NGOs that receive ODA funding, or other bilateral, especially European, actors that promote deforestation-free value chains. Before the start of the literature search and data extraction, the consultant will be expected to develop a search strategy that includes, at a minimum: - clear inclusion and exclusion criteria - primary search strings - a mitigation strategy to minimise risk of bias/ensure the quality of the studies included in the review The search strategy shall be shared with DEval for feedback before commencing the search. The consultant shall prepare a fully-referenced report that summarizing the literature review findings. The report should provide an assessment of the strength and quality of available evidence for each impact pathway identified. For more Details please see the Terms of References
