IUCN will evaluate technical proposals with regards to each of the following criteria and their relative importance: 1.Quality of technical approach 30% 2.Conceptual and methodological approach 30% 3.Relevant competencies and experience 40% Total 100% Financial Proposal The financial proposal must be a fixed and firm price for the provision of the goods/services stated in the RfP in their entirety. Prices include all costs.

EVALUATION of PROPOSALS Completeness IUCN will firstly check your proposal for completeness. Incomplete proposals will not be considered further. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only proposals that meet all the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. Technical Evaluation Scoring Method Your proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high. Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. Technical Score Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your proposal’s overall technical score. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your financial proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest financial proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your financial proposal. Thus, for example, if your financial proposal is for a total of EUR 100 and the lowest financial proposal is EUR 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80% Total Score Your proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score. The relative weights will be: Technical: 70% Financial: 30% Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

Consultancy for a Gender-Responsive Policy Analysis on Environmental Management, Climate Change Adaptation & the Sustainable Blue Economy

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 14:27:06 +0000

Background The Regenerative Seascapes for People, Climate, and Nature (ReSea) project is a multi-country initiative implemented across Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar, and Comoros. The project aims to regenerate coastal and marine ecosystems, strengthen climate resilience, promote inclusive governance, and advance sustainable blue economy opportunities for coastal communities through gender-responsive and nature-based approaches. Supported financially by Global Affairs Canada and led regionally by Mission Inclusion in partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), ReSea is implemented in partnership with local women’s rights organizations, civil society groups, community networks, research institutions, and government agencies. In Kenya, the project is implemented in Kilifi County, where GROOTS Kenya serves as the Feminist Organization partner responsible for strengthening Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), fostering community leadership, gender responsive Nature Based Solutions, and supporting women-led climate and marine governance. ReSea adopts an integrated programming model that includes: Gender-responsive and inclusive governance of marine and coastal resources Nature-based solutions (NbS) such as mangrove restoration. Women and youth-led blue economy entrepreneurship incubation Strengthening of community structures, including BMUs, CFAs, and grassroots movement-building Climate risk awareness and adaptation support This approach recognizes that women and youth are not only disproportionately affected by climate and environmental degradation but are also central to sustainable restoration and economic transformation in coastal landscapes. Local Context and Need for Policy Analysis Across Kilifi, communities depend heavily on marine ecosystems for fishing, mangrove restoration, eco-tourism, marine litter management, and small-scale trade. However, evidence gathered through capacity needs assessment, outcome harvesting, and Key Informant Interviews under the ReSea project highlights widespread challenges, including: Increased climate variability has prolonged droughts, ocean warming, and unpredictable rainfall Declining fish stocks and degradation of marine habitats Barriers to accessing fishing licenses, equipment, markets, and climate information Dominance of male-controlled value chains and exploitative practices (e.g., “sex-for-fish”) Restrictive cultural and religious norms limit women’s mobility and participation Weak enforcement of environmental and fisheries policies Low representation of women and youth in marine governance structures Despite the existence of multiple policy frameworks governing fisheries, the blue economy, environmental management, and climate resilience, these frameworks often lack gender responsiveness, intersectionality, and community-grounded implementation. The ReSea project, therefore, requires a comprehensive, actionable, gender-responsive policy analysis to guide programming, capacity strengthening, and advocacy across local and national stakeholders. 2. Purpose of the Assignment The purpose of this consultancy is to conduct a gender-responsive, intersectional, and inclusive policy analysis of the environmental management, climate change adaptation, and blue economy sectors in Kenya—specifically focusing on Kilifi. The analysis will inform ReSea’s advocacy, training, governance strengthening, and entrepreneurship support to ensure women, youth, and marginalized communities can effectively participate in, benefit from, and shape sustainable coastal and marine development. 3. Scope of Work The consultant will undertake the following core tasks: A. Policy Mapping & Review Identify, compile, and analyze existing policies, legal frameworks, strategies, and regulations relevant to: Marine and coastal resource governance Fisheries management (including BMU Regulations and Fisheries Act) Marine conservation (MPAs, LMMAs) Environmental protection and natural resource management Climate change adaptation and resilience Blue economy development Gender equality, youth empowerment, and social inclusion Outputs: Annotated inventory of policies reviewed A matrix showing mandates, gaps, overlaps, and relevance to women, youth, Persons with disabilities, marginalized, and indigenous coastal communities. B.

Understanding the Quality of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) Care in Uganda: Identifying Barriers to Service Access and Gaps in Provider Capac

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 14:25:34 +0000

Background and Context Tiko is a non-profit organisation that leverages digital platforms and behavioural insights to improve access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH), HIV, mental health, and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) services for adolescents and young people (AYP) aged 15–24 years. In Uganda, Tiko applies an ecosystem implementation approach, working with health facilities, community actors, referral partners, and policy stakeholders to reduce barriers to care and improve service quality for vulnerable populations. As part of its SGBV programming, Tiko supports survivors to access a complex set of interlinked services, including biomedical care at health facilities, police services, legal aid, shelter accommodation, and psychosocial support. Survivors may access these services sequentially or concurrently and often experience repeated interactions across multiple service points over time. This makes the SGBV survivor journey particularly complex, with significant risk of attrition, re-traumatisation, and inequitable access to quality care. To strengthen survivor-centred service delivery, Tiko is implementing a mixed-methods SGBV feedback study to systematically document survivor experiences, service quality, referral effectiveness, and provider capacity gaps across the SGBV response ecosystem. The study is guided by an approved research protocol and is designed to generate actionable evidence to inform continuous quality improvement, provider capacity strengthening, and system-level adaptations. This Request for Proposals (RFP) invites qualified individual consultants to provide technical leadership and implementation support for the Uganda SGBV Feedback Study, in line with the approved study protocol. Purpose of the Assignment The primary purpose of this assignment is to lead the implementation of a rolling SGBV feedback study that assesses the accessibility, quality, safety, and coordination of SGBV services for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) survivors aged 15–24 years in Uganda. The consultant will be responsible for ensuring high-quality, trauma-informed data collection; adherence to ethical and safeguarding standards; rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis; and timely reporting of actionable findings to inform programme improvement. Study Objectives and Key Evaluation Questions 1.General Objective To assess the accessibility, quality, and coordination of health and referral services for adolescent survivors of SGBV, in order to inform survivor-centred, safe, and effective service delivery. 2. Specific Objectives The specific objectives and corresponding evaluation questions that the evaluation seeks to address include: Research Objective To identify and analyze the multi-level barriers and facilitators influencing the practice of SGBV screening among healthcare providers and community mobilisers using the Tiko platform in Uganda. Research question What are the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of healthcare providers and mobilisers regarding the importance, feasibility, and their role in screening for SGBV? What are the specific individual, client-related, and health system-level barriers that prevent providers and mobilisers from consistently screening all Tiko clients for SGBV? What practical, evidence-based interventions and support mechanisms could increase the rates and quality of SGBV screening within the Tiko platform? Research Objective To assess the accessibility and responsiveness of health services provided to SGBV survivors aged 15–19. Research question How accessible are the SGBV-related health services to adolescents aged 15–19 in terms of location, affordability, and availability? How promptly do adolescents receive care after reporting an SGBV incident? Research Objective To evaluate the quality of care and support received by adolescent SGBV survivors from health service providers. Research question What are the perceptions of adolescent survivors regarding the quality of medical and psychosocial care they received? To what extent do survivors feel respected, listened to, and supported during their interactions with service providers? Research Objective To understand the experiences, perceptions, and satisfaction levels of adolescent SGBV survivors in navigating the referral and linkage system to other relevant services (e.g., psychosocial support, legal aid, shelters). Research question How effective are the referral mechanisms in connecting adolescent SGBV survivors to other relevant services (e.g., counselling, legal aid)? What challenges do adolescents face when navigating the referral process? Research Objective To identify the stages as which attrition could occur across the biomedical, police, legal and shelter services Research question At what stages in the service delivery pathway does client attrition occur within biomedical, police, legal, and shelter services for survivors of gender-based violence, and what factors contribute to drop-off at each stage? Research Objective To identify barriers and facilitators that affect the willingness and ability of adolescent survivors to seek and utilize SGBV-related health services. Research question What personal, social, or systemic barriers prevent adolescents from seeking or continuing with SGBV services? What factors encourage adolescents to access and continue using these services? Research Objective To gather adolescent survivors’ feedback on how health and referral services can be improved to better meet their needs. Research question What changes or improvements do adolescent survivors suggest for SGBV services to better meet their needs? What specific components of the service delivery were most or least helpful from the adolescents’ perspective? Research Objective To determine the extent to which confidentiality, safety, and dignity are maintained in the provision of health services to adolescent SGBV survivors. Research question Do adolescent survivors feel that their privacy and confidentiality are respected throughout the service process? What measures are in place to ensure their safety and dignity, and how effective are these? Research Objective To explore the role of community awareness, stigma, and family support in influencing service uptake among SGBV survivors aged 15–19. Research question How does stigma related to SGBV affect the decision of adolescents to seek services? What role does family or community support play in the survivors’ access to and use of services? Study Design and Methodology Tiko expects the use of a mixed-methods approach. The Consultant is expected to apply these methods, among others: Quantitative surveys with service providers Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with survivors In-depth interviews (IDIs) with survivors’ care givers Key informant interviews (KIIs) with providers, mobilisers, Paralegal officers, case managers, legal actors and community leaders.

Guinea Worm Eradication Program (GWEP) Technical Advisor – Ethiopia

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 14:22:01 +0000

TERMS OF REFERENCE – TECHNICAL ADVISOR Work with the Guinea worm eradication Program Manager (PM), Senior Technical Advisor (STA) if present, and with The Carter Center Senior Country Representative (SCR) to Ethiopia, as well as with Ministry of Health (MOH), and Gambella State Health authorities to perform, as appropriate, the duties listed below. Obtain geographic coordinates (using GPS units) of the location of the villages/localities reporting cases of GWD during. Report the geographic coordinates to the national EDEP secretariat for preparation of new or update of existing operational maps. Review the clustering of villages/localities reporting cases of GWD to determine the number of sub-districts defining clusters, following the norms established by these programs for number of villages and non-village areas to be supervised by a volunteer/focal person, and for a Field Officer (FO). Work with Senior Project Coordinator (SPC) to determine the number of FOs, Supervisors, and Village Volunteers (a male and a female volunteer, whenever possible) needed to cover each of the defined zones to implement interventions against GWD. Work in collaboration with the PM, relevant Officers, and SCR to develop training guidelines and schedules to improve the skills of field officers, supervisors and community leaders/village health committees. Train FOs and Supervisors on technical matters and norms of the integrated program, including definitions of Guinea worm rumors, suspects, and cases/infections and Guinea worm endemic villages, the interventions against GWD including health education, behavior change communication , social mobilization, surveillance (including use of case/animal infection registers, and monthly reporting) containment of transmission from cases and infections of GWD, distribution, use and care of cloth and pipe filters, ABATE Larvicide application, interventions related to domesticated animals, on the use of supervisory check lists, and on the use of forecasting line lists for endemic villages to help time the applications of ABATE Larvicide, the distribution of filters, etc. Where applicable, develop work plans with the FOs, FCs, BCC Officer, Program/Assistant Entomologist(s), and Program/Assistant Veterinarian to improve surveillance, consistent application and monitoring of interventions, community mobilization and behavior change communication/health education on consistent tethering of dogs/cats, and proper care, and regular treatment of unsafe water sources. Train Supervisors, FOs, and Village Volunteers/Focal Persons on how to establish an effective dialogue with GWD endemic communities to explain what GWD is, how it is transmitted, how it can be prevented, and to let the entire community know what the EDEP will do to empower them to take action to prevent transmission of GWD, while at the same time convincing residents that their active positive participation is needed to stop transmission, i.e., by preventing anyone with an emerging Guinea worm from entering sources of drinking water, and by always filtering all drinking water and caring for the filters provided. Supervise the training of Focal Persons/Volunteers by FOs to ensure the quality of the training and conveyance of the appropriate messages and techniques to the trainees. In coordination with the GWEP team develop an annual plan of action and budget for the needs of the endemic area of assignment and develop a plan for the use of resources in consonance with the seasonal needs of the EDEP. Submit and discuss this plan with PM and TCC CR for their recommendations and approval. Assess the sensitivity of the surveillance system for cases of GWD in endemic villages/localities. Determine whether the village-based surveillance is being conducted daily (active), and whether there are the required personnel and resources to detect 100% of all cases/infections of GWD within 24 hours of Guinea worm emergence. Check that all entries in the village case register are properly recorded. Where the surveillance system is not active and/or not completely sensitive, recommend immediate action steps the EDEP supervisor needs to take to correct flaws in the system, and help implement these. Ascertain whether there is compliance with the international definition of a case/infection of dracunculiasis and with the standards for containing transmission from each infected person/animal. Determine if a) endemic villages have the necessary resources (village volunteers, filters, medical kits, etc.) to contain every case/infection in the village and non- village areas, and b) transmission from infected persons/animal is indeed fully contained. In endemic villages where cases are not being detected and contained within 24 hours of worm emergence, recommend the implementation immediate action steps to correct these deficiencies, and help implement these. Assess the frequency and quality of supervisory visits to the village volunteers, including the use of a supervisory checklist and that the volunteers know what they need to do, are doing it, and are satisfied with the working relationship with their supervisor. Take immediate action steps to correct any deficiencies noted about the frequency and or quality of supervisory visits. Provide regular supervision, evaluation and on-the-job training to program assistants, field officers, supervisors and other actors in community-based health care as appropriate. Evaluate the frequency, quality, and penetration of BCC messages and social mobilization events about GWD and the prevention. Where inadequate, assist FOs, volunteers, and relevant stakeholders to improve the quality of participatory health education activities at the village level. Promote the need for political and community leaders and community members to take action to eradicate GWD. Become informed via civil authorities, partners, or other stakeholders implementing, monitoring and evaluating public health emergency management (PHEM) surveillance system in their respective locations. In areas where ABATE® Larvicide is being used: assess the frequency and quality of applications in sources of drinking water used by endemic villages, by checking the records, including the calculation of water volume, and whether ABATE® Larvicide crews are using “forecasting” to time the applications of ABATE®. Inquire as to the rationale for the particular selection of sources of drinking water being targeted for treatment with ABATE® Larvicide. Recommend immediate action steps to correct any deficiencies in the application or the strategy for use of ABATE® Larvicide and help implement these. Assess whether line-listings of GWD endemic villages (arranged in descending order of cases reported in the previous year and showing the number of cases reported, number of households, number of filters distributed, % coverage of households with filters, number of ponds, number of ponds treated, numbers of functioning boreholes/hand-pumps, etc.) are being used to monitor the status of interventions and as an advocacy tool for providing safe sources of water to these villages. If not, help supervisors prepare such listings and educate them about the advantages of using these to monitor interventions and of updating such line-listings monthly and posting them at the district and area level offices. Ascertain whether the data from the previous year showing cases reported by month is being used to forecast the timing of interventions in each of these villages, including health education, social mobilization, the distribution of filters and the treatment of ponds with ABATE® Larvicide. Check a sample of households to ensure that filters are available, being used, undamaged, and whether additional new filters need to be distributed. Assess whether supervisors are using a supervisory checklist during their visit to villages and that the outcomes of each visit are recorded in writing and acted upon by the senior field officers and or area staff. Where applicable, assist FOs to submit monthly reports on activities. Summarize these into one comprehensive report for the entire project area. Coordinate collection / compilation of monthly activities data from field to database. Ensure that FOs report monthly on the status of water hand pump construction/rehabilitation and/or other devices providing safe water in endemic villages, and whether these are functioning. Work with the SPC and local authorities/officials in establishing a system for secure storage and appropriate distribution and use of supplies for Guinea worm eradication activities. Work cooperatively and harmoniously with TCC and Woreda leaders/officials as an integral part to strengthen the programs in every way possible. Play active role to advocate and promote inter- sectoral collaborations with stakeholders and other actors in GWD eradication. Work daily with awareness that the EDEP is under the leadership of the EDEP Coordinator, and you are a guest of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and work under the jurisdiction of the GWEP Director and the government of Ethiopia. Assist in improving the organization of program personnel so that all GWD cases are identified and contained and all GWD interventions are applied in all focal areas. Work with officials and persons at all levels in ways that build confidence and that promote a sense of hope and optimism that GWD can be eliminated in Ethiopia. Assist in improving every aspect of data collection and reporting, including accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. Ensure that data are internally consistent; analyzed on a monthly basis; used for decision-making at the district level; and reported in complete accordance with Region, Woreda, Kebele and national requirements and procedures. Work with the SPC and Woreda Coordinators/Supervisors and FOs to organize and conduct monthly management/communication sharing meetings of State Coordinators, and Village Volunteers. These meetings should provide a forum for highlighting and resolving issues/problems faced by the coordinators, field officers and volunteers. Represent The Carter Center with pride, integrity, professionalism, humility, understanding and respect of persons, and sensitivity to local culture and traditions. Be constantly aware that you represent an organization founded by a former President of the United States who believes in working aggressively and harmoniously to assist and strengthen our host counterparts. Work with the SPC and identify all interventions supplies/materials that will be needed for the transmission season and regular programming.

FEWS NET Country Technical Senior Specialist-Conflict – Sudan

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 14:01:46 +0000

Introduction The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) is an integrated set of activities funded by the United States Government (USG) and is intended to provide timely, accurate, evidence-based, and transparent food insecurity early warning information and analysis. Created in 1985 in response to famines in East and West Africa, FEWS NET provides global coverage of acute food insecurity. FEWS NET’s work is implemented across several mechanisms by a team of partners that includes the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the University of California-Santa Barbara’s Climate Hazards Center (UCSB-CHC), University of Maryland’s Department of Geographical Sciences, American Institutes for Research (AIR), and Chemonics International (Chemonics). Chemonics implements FEWS NET’s Decision Support Team (DST), which is charged with providing integrated monitoring and analyses of current and forecast acute food insecurity in countries worldwide to support the United States Government’s (USG) policy and programmatic decisions. The DST operates through a Washington-based technical office, regional FEWS NET offices, and national staff presence in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and eastern Europe. FEWS NET’s objective is to produce timely, evidence-based decision support to enable the efficient allocation of humanitarian assistance on the basis of need. Based on an in-depth understanding of local livelihoods, FEWS NET monitors information and data on factors that affect food security, such as conflict, weather and agroclimatology, crops, pasture, markets and trade, and nutrition. The FEWS NET DST produces regular reports, including Food Security Outlooks and Outlook Updates, emergency alerts, market and price updates, and targeted analyses. FEWS NET makes reports available at www.fews.net and distributes them globally to governments, relief agencies, and other organizations engaged in humanitarian response and development programs. The eighth phase of FEWS NET began in 2024. The work of the FEWS NET DST relies on close collaboration with international, regional, and national partners on food security-related data and information gathering and analysis.

Expression of Interest: Circular Economy Innovation Challenge: Creating Green Skills and Livelihood Opportunities for Somali Youth in Agropastoral Com

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 13:59:34 +0000

Background and Context Agropastoral communities in Somaliland face increasing pressure fromclimate shocks, environmental degradation, and limited livelihood opportunities. Recurrent droughts, declining soil fertility, and resource scarcity continue to undermine traditional livelihoods, while economic diversification remains limited. Young people are disproportionately affected, often lacking access to meaningful employment, market-relevant skills, or viable pathways to contribute to household income and community resilience. These challenges are particularly pronounced in rural and peri-urban agropastoral areas. At the same time, Somaliland is experiencing growing environmental pressures linked to underdeveloped market systems. Agricultural residues, organic by-products, plastic waste, and aging technical equipment are accumulating across communities, contributing to pollution, health risks, and lost economic value. These challenges coexist with unmet demand for affordable agricultural inputs, construction materials, and technical services, highlighting a persistent disconnect between available resources, skills, and functioning markets. Despite these constraints, Somaliland presents strong entry points for circular economy and green skills innovation, particularly where waste streams intersect with livelihood needs and emerging market demand. Agropastoral livelihoods generate substantial volumes of crop residues and organic by-products that can be transformed into productive inputs such as organic fertilizer. Urban growth and changing consumption patterns have increased plastic waste, while a growing number of local enterprises are demonstrating the feasibility of recycling plastic into construction and consumer products. In parallel, the rapid expansion of solar energy—driven by high electricity costs and limited grid coverage—has created increasing demand for repair and maintenance services, opening new income opportunities for youth through applied green skills. To ensure that the Innovation Challenge responds to real market conditions and user needs, its design was informed by structured engagement with ecosystem actors. This included a co-creation workshop using a human-centred and design-thinking approach to unpack underlying challenges, explore root causes, and frame opportunity areas from the perspective of actors working directly in agropastoral and circular economy settings. Building on these insights, an open market dialogue was conducted with solution providers, private-sector actors, cooperatives, and innovators to scan existing circular solutions, assess how they operate within value chains, and identify system-level constraints and opportunities. These engagements were exploratory and non-procurement in nature, and aimed to ground the Challenge design in practitioner experience and market realities. Insights emerging from these engagements point to several consistent patterns across the ecosystem: Circular economy activities are present across agropastoral and urban contexts but remainfragmented, with weak coordination between producers, service providers, and markets. Youth are already engaged in activities such as waste collection, repair, fabrication, and agro-processing, but often through informal arrangements with limited opportunities for skills upgrading, enterprise development, or income stability. Skills development initiatives are frequently delivered as standalone or short-term interventions, with limited alignment to market demand or viable business models. Access to appropriate financial products for circular and youth-led enterprises remains a key constraint to growth and sustainability. Across these engagements, emerging market signals were observed in several circular economy pathways. These include growing interest in organic soil inputs derived from crop residues, increasing acceptance of recycled plastic products in construction and consumer markets, and rising demand for repair, recovery and maintenance services for technical equipment. While these markets are still developing, they demonstrate sufficient activity to support early-stage enterprise growth and youth employment when combined with targeted skills development and market integration. Taken together, these conditions point to the need for an innovation challenge that prioritizes market-anchored, youth-focused circular solutions, rather than isolated pilots or training programs. The emphasis is on translating existing skills and local resources into viable services and products, embedding learning within real economic activity, and enabling youth to generate income while contributing to environmental sustainability and climate resilience. In response to these findings, theCircular Economy Innovation Challenge has been designed to support solutions that can be realistically implemented within a six-month period and that strengthen livelihoods, circular value chains, and environmental outcomes in agropastoral communities. The Challenge is implemented under the SIDA III Programme by the SomReP Consortium, with funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). 2. Purpose The purpose of the Circular Economy Innovation Challenge is to identify, support, and pilot market-anchored circular solutions that strengthen green skills and income-generating opportunities for youth in agropastoral communities in Somaliland. The Challenge aims to translate existing skills, resources, and emerging market demand into viable services and products that contribute to environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and inclusive economic development. 3. Objectives The specific objectives of the Circular Economy Innovation Challenge are to: Support circular solutions that create tangible livelihood and income opportunities for youth in agropastoral and peri-urban communities Strengthen green skills through learning-by-doing, embedding practical skills development within operational circular enterprises and services Enable market-ready circular innovations that respond to existing or emerging demand, particularly in areas such as organic fertilizer production, plastic recycling, and repair and maintenance services Improve linkages between skills, enterprises, and markets, reducing fragmentation in the circular economy ecosystem Facilitate access to appropriate financing mechanisms and business models suited to circular and youth-led enterprises Demonstrate feasible and scalable approaches that can be replicated or adapted in other agropastoral contexts within Somaliland Contribute to environmental sustainability and climate resilience by reducing waste, extending product lifecycles, and improving resource efficiency 4. Scope of the Challenge This section outlines the scope of the Circular Economy Innovation Challenge, including the types of solutions sought, priority thematic focus areas, target communities, timeframe expectations, and activities that fall outside the scope of the Challenge. Applicants are expected to ensure that proposed solutions align clearly with this scope. In addition to delivering circular economy outcomes, all proposed solutions are expected to demonstrate clear potential to create, strengthen, or apply green skills among youth in agropastoral and peri-urban communities. Green skills refer to practical, work-based skills related to resource recovery, processing, repair, fabrication, maintenance, or service delivery that are directly linked to income-generating activities. Solutions should therefore be designed in a way that enables youth to acquire and apply such skills through active participation in day-to-day operations. Types of Solutions in Scope: The Challenge seeks practical, market-facing circular economy solutions that deliver tangible products or services and create income-generating opportunities for youth, including through roles that require hands-on technical, operational, or service-related skills relevant to a green economy. Solutions may be proposed by enterprises, cooperatives, youth groups, civil society organizations, or consortia, provided they demonstrate a clear pathway to implementation and market engagement. Solutions in scope may include, but are not limited to: Circular production, processing, or service-delivery models Repair, maintenance, refurbishment, or recovery services Waste collection, aggregation, sorting, or transformation approaches Cooperative- or enterprise-based models that strengthen circular value chains Market linkage or service models that connect producers, service providers, and end users Proposals should move beyond conceptual ideas and clearly demonstrate how activities translate into viable products or services that respond to local needs and generate economic value. Priority Thematic Focus Areas: Based on ecosystem engagement and market analysis, the Circular Economy Innovation Challenge will focus on two priority thematic areas where there is strong relevance to agropastoral livelihoods, emerging market demand, and realistic opportunities for youth engagement within a six-month pilot period. Thematic Area 1: Underutilized Biological By-Products The Challenge prioritizes solutions that transform crop residues and livestock manure into productive, market-relevant inputs for agropastoral systems. Solutions under this thematic area are expected to contribute to improved soil fertility, resource efficiency, and climate resilience, while creating opportunities for youth to participate in activities such as collection, processing, quality control, application support, and distribution. Examples of solutions under this thematic area may include, but are not limited to: Composting or processing of crop residues into organic fertilizer or soil-improvement inputs Manure-based soil amendments or blended organic inputs suitable for local farming conditions Service-based models that support farmers in managing organic by-products and improving soil health Proposals should demonstrate how currently underutilized biological materials can be converted into products or services valued by farmers, cooperatives, or agricultural enterprises, and how youth are engaged in operational roles that build practical capabilities in organic input production, handling, and application. Thematic Area 2: Technical Waste (Plastic Waste and E-Waste) The Challenge also prioritizes solutions addressing plastic waste and electronic waste, which are increasing rapidly in urban and peri-urban areas and pose environmental and health risks if unmanaged. Solutions in this thematic area should focus on improving the recovery, reuse, repair, or transformation of technical waste into viable products or services that respond to local market needs. Examples of solutions under this thematic area may include, but are not limited to: Plastic recycling or reuse models that convert waste into marketable and fit-for-purpose products Repair, refurbishment, or component recovery services for electronic and electrical equipment Aggregation, sorting, and processing approaches that improve the quality, safety, and usability of technical waste streams Solutions should demonstrate how resulting products or services are appropriate for agropastoral and peri-urban contexts, and how youth participate in technical and service roles—such as sorting, processing, repair, refurbishment, or fabrication—that enable the development of transferable green skills alongside income generation. Geographic Scope and Target Communities The Challenge targets agropastoral and peri-urban communities in Somaliland. Proposed pilots must be implemented within Somaliland and demonstrate relevance to local livelihood systems, resource availability, and market conditions. Applicants should clearly indicate: The specific location(s) where the pilot will be implemented How the solution responds to local agropastoral conditions and community needs Timeframe and Scale of Pilots The Challenge is designed to support short-term pilots that demonstrate early results and learning. Within the scope of the Challenge: Proposed solutions must be implementable within a 4–6-month period within Somaliland Pilots are expected to operate at small to medium scale, with clear potential for replication or expansion Applicants should demonstrate how early outcomes—such as service delivery, product uptake, or income generation—will be achieved within the pilot timeframe 5. Funding Modality and Contract Size The Circular Economy Innovation Challenge will support up to two (2) innovations, with individual budgets up to USD 15,000. Funding is intended to support practical, market-oriented pilot implementation, including costs directly related to delivering the proposed circular solution. Eligible costs may include operational expenses, materials and inputs, modest equipment, personnel costs, and other implementation-related expenses necessary to test and refine the solution during the pilot period. Funding will be provided on a milestone-based basis, linked to agreed deliverables and learning objectives. The final amount, milestone structure, and disbursement schedule will be confirmed during the contracting phase. Funding is not intended to support large-scale infrastructure investments, long-term operational costs beyond the pilot period, or activities outside the scope of this challenge. 6. Guiding Principles All proposed solutions must align with the following guiding principles throughout design and implementation: Humanitarian Principles and Do No Harm Solutions must be implemented in line with core humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence. Proposals should demonstrate sensitivity to local conflict dynamics, social tensions, power relations, and vulnerabilities, and include practical measures to avoid exacerbating risks or inequalities, particularly for agropastoral and marginalized communities. Innovation and Ethics Proposals should demonstrate innovative approaches—through business models, service delivery, partnerships, or adaptation of existing practices—while upholding ethical standards, transparency, accountability, and responsible use of resources. Localization Solutions must be grounded in the Somaliland context, leveraging local knowledge, skills, materials, and partnerships, and strengthening local ownership, leadership, and capacity, in line with the principle of “as local as possible, as international as necessary.” Design with the User Solutions should be informed by the needs, realities, and constraints of end users, with mechanisms for user engagement, feedback, and inclusive participation, particularly for youth, women, and marginalized groups. Sustainability and Scalability Proposals should demonstrate potential for financial, social, and environmental sustainability beyond the pilot period, as well as realistic pathways for replication or scale within similar agropastoral contexts. Environmental Stewardship Solutions must apply a do-no-harm approach to the environment and integrating climate and environmentally responsible practices. Proposals should assess and manage environmental and climate risks, promote sustainable use of natural resources, and, where feasible, contribute to positive environmental outcomes and resilience building. Knowledge Sharing and Learning Applicants should be willing to document and share learning, lessons, and results to support broader ecosystem learning, accountability, and continuous improvement across humanitarian and development actors. 7. Performance Specifications Selected solutions are expected to meet the following performance specifications during the six-month pilot period: Functional Delivery Deliver a working circular product or service under real operating conditions, serving actual users or customers in agropastoral or peri-urban communities. Practical Innovation Demonstrate a clear improvement over existing practices (e.g. efficiency, quality, safety, market linkage, or income stability), through adapted approaches or business models rather than technology alone. Market Engagement and Reach Engage a defined local market segment and show early signs of uptake, such as product use, service requests, partnerships, or initial revenue, appropriate to pilot scale. Youth Engagement and Green Skills Involve youth in hands-on operational roles (e.g. collection, processing, repair, fabrication, service delivery) that build and apply practical green skills linked to income generation. Impact and Early Outcomes Demonstrate early livelihood and circular economy outcomes, such as youth earning income, waste being reduced or reused, or improved access to services or inputs. Environmental Performance Apply safe and environmentally responsible practices, contributing to waste reduction, resource recovery, or extended product lifecycles. Learning and Adaptation Use implementation learning to adapt and improve the solution during the pilot, and document key lessons and challenges. Sustainability and Future Potential Outline a realistic pathway for continuation or growth beyond the pilot, based on observed market conditions and operational experience. 8.

Senior Assessment Officer – MSNA for Nigeria, based in Dakar

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 13:56:50 +0000

BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise. IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis and GIS. We are currently looking for a Senior Assessment Officer to support our team in Nigeria (remotely from Dakar, Senegal) Department: REACH Position: Senior Assessment Officer – MSNA Contract duration: 11 months Location: Dakar, Senegal (with occasional travel to Abuja, Nigeria). Starting Date: 1st April 2026 (dependent on funding confirmation). COUNTRY PROFILE Nigeria is confronted by multiple security challenges. The Insurgency of The Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād (JAS) – more popularly known as Boko Haram – has entered its twelfth year and has spawned a humanitarian crisis rendering sections of Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe state inaccessible, limiting affected population`s access to basic infrastructure and services, and displacing millions. In the Northwest, banditry has emerged as a key challenge, becoming more sanguinary with every year. The high levels of crime and increased use of violence and kidnappings have led parents and authorities to pull millions of students out of school. The spotlight remains on the Northeast yet needs – both humanitarian and developmental – are rising in the Northwest, long-running discontent and militancy prevails in the Niger Delta, discontent is increasing between herders and farming communities spreading from the central belt southwards, and separatist Biafra agitations in the Igbo Southeast simmer on. Against this backdrop, IMPACT Initiatives has developed a wide range of research cycles to provide an evidence-base for the humanitarian community. Historically, IMPACT Initiatives has been present in both the Northeast and Northwest of Nigeria. Thematically, across 2021 – 2023 IMPACT Initiatives fielded Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessments (MSNAs), Hard to Reach (H2R) assessments, Area Based Assessments (ABA), Rapid Overviews of Areas of Return (ROAR), Thematic Assessments (TA), Rapid Assessments (RA), and WASH Infrastructure Mapping, while also playing a key role in Famine Monitoring, Nutrition and Food Security Surveillance, and the Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI). IMPACT is currently hosted by a national NGO, FACT Foundation, and all staff are seconded to FACT during their mission in Nigeria. Both organisations are anticipating the confirmation of an upcoming ECHO-funded consortium in Nigeria, focused on emergency response mechanisms through cash as the primary response modality as well as full REACH MSNA in the North-East. This will be the first REACH-led MSNA in the NE since 2022 and it aims to align directly with the 2026 HPC. Due to persistent visa issues in Nigeria, the position is for the time being placed in IMPACT’s satellite office in Dakar.

Scoring Method Your Proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high. 5.3.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. 5.3.3.

Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal. Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80% 5.5. Total Score Your Proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score. The relative weights will be: Technical: 70% Financial: 30% Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

ATTACHMENTS Attachment 1 Specification of Requirements / Terms of Reference Attachment 2 Declaration of Undertaking. TERMS OF REFERENCE CONSULTANCY SERVICES TO CONDUCT A REGULATORY IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON FOREST CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT (CHARCOAL) DRAFT REGULATIONS Background About the BIODEV2030 project Implemented by the international Union for Conservation of Nation (IUCN), the objective of BIODEV2030 Phase 2 (2024-2026) is to contribute to the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework in 15 countries (including Kenya) by promoting changes in production practices thatreconcile biodiversity and economic development. Phase 2 of BIODEV2030 was preceded by phase I, which took place from 2020 to 2022 and intended to advance the integration of biodiversity in the economic sectors, through the promotion of voluntary commitments in economic sectors that most threaten biodiversity. The first phase of BIODEV2030 was implemented through three components: the first on the multistakeholder dialogue informed by a second component of scientific results on the state, trends, and threats to biodiversity in the country and the situational analysis on the opportunities and challenges for the implementation of voluntary commitments in forestry, agriculture and livestock (focusing on pastoralism), followed by a third component of exchange of experiences and knowledge sharing between implementing countries. In Kenya, the project ended up identifying voluntary commitments for crop production (horticulture), livestock production and agroforestry (with a focus on wood energy). BIODEV2030 phase 2 has three specific objectives: Support the national public authorities in identifying the sectoral public policy instruments (SPPIs) of the priority sectors and possible reforms to encourage this change in practices. Develop an action plan in a pilot area / landscape that defines the necessary changes in practices needed to achieve positive impacts on target biodiversity values, and the clear actions that are needed to achieve such changes, further formulated into a bankable project proposal for implementation at the end of BIODEV2030 phase 2 (i.e. February 2026). Develop the capacity of the key actors in mainstreaming and financing biodiversity projects. Through Specific Objective 1, BIODEV2030 phase 2 will support the public authorities on analysing how well the existing SPPIs are aligned with the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Agreement and provide recommendations for strengthening their alignment. In 2025, the BIODEV2030 project developed a policy brief on “Aligning public policy instruments to biodiversity conservation in Kenya’s forestry sector.” The policy brief finds that at the county-level, permits are prone to misuse, masking illegal trade. It recommends that digitization of permits and fast-tracking of the charcoal regulations can enhance traceability and enforcement as well as conservation of biodiversity hotspots. In this context, the IUCN Kenya Country office is collaborating with the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry to develop a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) report for the Draft Charcoal Regulations 2025. Introduction to the assignment The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry has drafted the Forest Conservation and Management (Charcoal) Regulations 2025. The Regulations are meant to provide detailed guidelines on the production, trade, and management of charcoal in Kenya. The Regulations aim to enhance regulation in the charcoal sector through the registration and licensing of commercial producers, while promoting the sustainable management of trees and forest resources on both community and private lands. They further encourage the adoption of efficient production technologies such as modern kilns to minimize wood wastage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the Regulations provide for the establishment and enforcement of standards governing the packaging, storage, transportation, and trade of charcoal, coupled with strengthened law enforcement to curb illegal production and trading activities. The Regulations elaborate on the obligations of the Kenya Forest Service, the County Government, charcoal producers and traders in regard to regulating charcoal business in the country. Importantly, the Regulations allow the production and transportation of charcoal for subsistent use. In accordance with the Statutory Instruments Act, No. 23 of 2013, a regulation that is likely to have a direct or indirect significant impact on business, the economy, the environment, or the administration of justice must be accompanied by a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA). Charcoal production and trade directly affect forest resources, rural livelihoods, energy access, and local economies, particularly among vulnerable and low-income households. There is therefore a need to develop a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) report for the Draft Charcoal Regulations 2025 to ensure that the proposed regulations are evidence-based, proportionate, and responsive to the socio-economic and environmental realities of the charcoal sub-sector. The RIA will systematically assess the anticipated environmental, social, and economic impacts of the Draft Regulations, including compliance costs, enforcement and institutional implications, and effects on producers, transporters, traders, consumers, and county governments. It will also help identify potential unintended consequences such as increased illegal production, market distortions, or livelihood losses and evaluate feasible regulatory and non-regulatory options to achieve sustainability objectives at least cost. The Ministry in collaboration with International Union for Conservation of Nature and under advisory of Technical Working Group appointed by the Ministry, seeks to engage a consultant to develop a RIA for the Regulations. Scope of Work The work shall be guided by Kenya’s existing policy, legal, and institutional frameworks relevant to the forestry and charcoal sub-sector, including the Constitution of Kenya, the Forest Conservation and Management Act and the Energy Act. The consultant shall draw on applicable regulatory standards, best practice in Regulatory Impact Assessment, and available national data to identify appropriate indicators, data types, and information sources necessary to assess the economic, social, environmental, and administrative impacts of the proposed regulations. These will inform the collection of baseline and contextual data through a combination of desk reviews of Kenyan policy and sectoral documents, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and structured stakeholder consultations and workshops, which will collectively serve as the primary data collection framework for undertaking the task: Review the Regulations and analyze the means and alternative options of achieving the objectives of the same, including regulatory and non-regulatory measures. Facilitate public participation workshops (virtual/physical) for collection of comments and validation of findings by the regulated communities. Collect, analyze and document all comments and submissions given by the public, and submit the same in seven (7) bound and clearly marked sets. Prepare a Regulatory Impact Assessment as per the set legal requirements, which should include: A statement of objectives on the proposed Regulations and the reasons for the same A statement explaining the expected effect of the proposed legislation A statement of other practicable means of achieving the same objectives (including regulatory and non-regulatory) An Assessment of the expected costs and benefits of the proposed Regulations and any other practicable means of achieving the same objectives, which should include an assessment of the expected economic, social and environmental impact and the likely administration and compliance costs including resources allocation. Prepare and submit independent advice as the regulatory impact assessment Prepare a Certificate to be signed by the Cabinet Secretary in line with relevant provisions of the Statutory Instruments Act of 2013 Key Deliverables Inception report- describing detailed methodology for the RIA, an interpretation of the ToRs, timeline, stakeholder engagement plan and identified data sources and gaps**.** Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS)- detailing findings from white and grey literature and stakeholder consultations, comprehensive analysis of the likely economic, social, environmental, and administrative impacts of the draft regulations, regulatory options and their costs/benefits, potential risks, trade-offs, and mitigation measures and preliminary recommendations.
