WWF, one of the world’s leading nature conservation organizations, has been working for nearly 60 years and have offices in 100 countries, and started the program in Myanmar in 2014. We believe together we can protect Myanmar’s globally important forests and rivers. Together we will ensure a future for Myanmar’s precious wildlife. We believe everyone has a role to play in forging a sustainable future for Myanmar  - from civil society to banks, to private  companies. Together we can empower people and make Myanmar, and our planet, a better  place  for  everyone.    Together, we will  change  the  course  of  history.  Find  out  more  at  www.wwf.org.mm. 

Objectives of the consultancy 

The purpose of the consultancy is to develop two workshops and one follow-up session that use experimental economic concepts to discuss the roles of cooperation, competition, natural resources, and public goods, and  how to work with communities to co-design inclusive social norms that can improve their livelihoods and  the conservation of the environment. 

The first workshop should be implemented in a community and in that workshop, community leaders, as  well as other influential members of the community, will develop several experimental economic games and  use them as a basis for discussion about the creation of cooperative social norms. The second workshop should be implemented with local CSOs. In contrast to the first workshop, this second one is designed as a ToT, in which the consultancy will discuss with the CSOs the best practices on how the CSOs can replicate this exercise in other  communities.

Major Responsibilities:  

To  discuss  with  local  communities  and  leaders,  using  experimental  economic  concepts,  the  roles  of  cooperation, competition, natural resources, and public goods, and how to co-design inclusive social norms  that can improve their livelihoods and the conservation of the environment.
