I. Background:
Since 2016, WCS started working with the Criminal Statistics Bureau (CSB or Department 2) of Supreme People’s Procuracy (SPP) on collecting data and developing reports on wildlife violations, crimes and law enforcement.
However, the data collection and statistical analysis processes have been manual, resulting in significant time and effort requirements. In order to address these challenges and streamline the workflow, we aim to develop an analysis tool that incorporates standardized and automated Microsoft Excel forms and templates. This tool will enable efficient data collection on wildlife crime cases nationwide and facilitate the generation of analysis reports in subsequent periods.
Therefore, we are seeking a consultant who can conduct research and propose the optimal solution for developing this tool.
II. Objectives:
The consultant will cooperate with WCS and its partner to carry out activities to achieve the following objectives:
- Survey the current status, collect requirements and propose software solution
- Software development on Microsoft Excel to develop, finalize and maintain a standardized and automated analysis tool, including Microsoft Excel forms and templates for data collection and statistics of criminal wildlife cases.
- To provide training sessions of the developed tool to the users from WCS and relevant partner agency
