The purpose of the consultancy is to design the next LRD Business Plan (2025-2029) through:
• Initially reviewing the implementation of the expired LRD Business Plan: 2019-2023, taking stock of
the performance of interventions, opportunities, challenges, lessons and impact on the Pacific Island
Countries and Territories (PICTs), as well as the region.
• Designing the next phase of LRD’s Business Plan (2025-2029) using strategic foresight methodology,
building on the results of the review process, aligning LRD’s goal and objectives to SPC’s strategic
direction, addressing the priorities of the region as stipulated in the regional agriculture and forestry
strategy, and other relevant regional and global strategies.
Specifically, the consultancy services are expected to:
1.Review Phase
• Articulate a suitable approach/methodology to be used to consult all stakeholders during the review
as well as design processes, encompassing participatory reflection, learning, as well as strategic
foresight.

implemented business plan to the region and PICTs from 2019 to 2023.
• Describe the key achievements, opportunities, lessons, as well as challenges faced by PICTs, and other
partners, measured against the business plan objectives, and the reasons underpinning such results.

• Produce a comprehensive review report about the old Business Plan 2019-2023
