S02. Provide enough detail on the content of the selected project to allow its approval by the AFD and its subsequent implementation/monitoring (components/sub-components, expected results, institutional set-up, budget, monitoring system)
Beneficiaries
AFD of Quito
The Pachamama Foundation
Conservation International
Results
R1. Analysis of the project's contribution to the development of a virtuous bioeconomy and improved biodiversity conservation in the targeted area

R3. . Identify the obstacles to the development of a sustainable bioeconomy that may emerge from the analysis of the Public Policy Matrix
R4. Set up a provisional timetable for the duration of the project
R5. Propose a monitoring and evaluation system for the project based on the results indicators set in the logical framework
R6. Analysis of the interest of the project with respect to climate change (adaptation and mitigation) and gender issues
R7. Identify an overall logical framework in terms of quantitative results to be achieved and objectively verifiable indicators of activities, outcomes and impacts (numbers of beneficiaries, etc.)
Activities
A1. Meet with the stakeholders to enable the consultant to become familiar with the pre-identified projects and thus enable AFD to make a first informed choice of the project to be studied
A2. Carry out a short mission to Ecuador in order to realize a concise overview of the "bioeconomy" components currently supported by the Ecuadorian government and its territorial partners (Pachamama Foundation and the NGO Conservation International)
A3. Analysis of the elements gathered and provide the necessary deliverables for AFD to make an informed choice, and in particular, an initial note facilitating AFD's choice of project to be financed, a presentation sheet of the selected project, a note of surprise on the Public Policy Matrix and the feasibility study report
