**Introduction and background:**

CABI envisions a world in which women, youth and marginalised communities are included in agriculture, and become key to ensuring equity, increasing participation in agribusiness, and reducing youth unemployment; promoting livelihood improvement; increasing production and reducing poverty. CABI’s Medium-Term Strategy (2023-25) pursues five major goals:

1\. Improve the food security and livelihoods of smallholder communities

2\. Help communities adapt to the impacts of climate change

3\. Reduce inequality through better opportunities for rural women and youth

4\. Safeguard biodiversity and support the sustainable use of natural resources

5\. Increase the reach, application, and impact of science in agriculture and the environment

PlantwisePlus Burundi is a project led by CABI, implemented in partnership with ISABU and other key stakeholders, with funding support from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) in Bujumbura. The project seeks to strengthen Burundi’s plant health system by improving access to quality agricultural advisory services, promoting lower-risk crop protection practices, and enhancing national phytosanitary capabilities to safeguard food security, farmer livelihoods, and trade potential.

CABI is initiating an evaluation on behalf of EKN to assess what the project actions have delivered and to document lessons learned. We are seeking a consultant to assist with this end-of-project evaluation.
