The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region stretches 3,500km across Asia, spanning eight countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan. Encompassing high-altitude mountain ranges, mid-hills, and plains, the zone is vital for the food, water, and energy security of up to two billion people and is a habitat for countless irreplaceable species. It is also acutely fragile, and vulnerable to the impacts of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.

The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), based in Kathmandu, Nepal, is an international organisation established in 1983, that is working to make this critical region greener, more inclusive and climate resilient. For more information, read our Strategy 2030 and explore our website.

ICIMOD is seeking consultancy services from established consulting firms or organisations to conduct an independent evaluation of its capacity-building approaches and outcomes. Individual consultants should not apply. A gender-balanced team with a diverse mix of members from the HKH region and beyond is highly encouraged.

The primary objective of this evaluation is to assess ICIMOD’s capacity-building approaches and their outcomes, identifying strengths, areas for improvement, and opportunities to enhance their effectiveness. For detailed information, please download the Terms of Reference (ToR) here.
