Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:00:29 +0000

MOZ-RRM: Rapid Response Mechanism - Level 1 Implementing Partners Roster STAGE 1: Call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) 1. SUMMARY OF THE OPPORTUNITY The MOZ-RRM (Rapid Response Mechanism) consortium is seeking national and international NGOs with experience in emergency programming who are interested in joining the RRM consortium’s roster of partners to support rapid humanitarian responses, anticipatory action, and emergency preparedness in northern Mozambique. About MOZ-RRM The MOZ-RRM, led by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), is a consortium of NRC, Solidarités International (SI), Action contre la Faim (ACF), Save the Children International (SCI), Fundação para o Desenvolvimento da Comunidade (FDC), Pronanac, and Impact Initiatives, funded by DG ECHO. The overall objective of MOZ-RRM is to ensure that timely, needs-based and multi-sectoral humanitarian assistance reaches populations affected by conflict-driven displacement, natural hazards and epidemics in Northern Mozambique, while strengthening anticipatory action and preparedness to reduce the impact of predictable shocks. RRM operations have been active in Cabo Delgado since at least July 2023, with consortium members conducting rapid needs assessments and emergency responses to successive displacement crises across the province. The MOZ-RRM consortium and its Consortium Management Unit (CMU) were recently established in 2026 to bring these efforts under a unified, coordinated structure. MOZ-RRM is Northern Mozambique's largest multi-sector rapid response mechanism, providing life-saving assistance to households affected by conflict, displacement, climate shocks and disease outbreaks. The consortium brings together national and international partners, each contributing operational presence and technical capacity across the priority districts and provinces outlined in Section 3. Through a network of partners, the mechanism delivers rapid emergency assistance across WASH, shelter/NFI, health and nutrition, education and child protection, including through cash and voucher assistance (CVA) as a delivery modality where appropriate. The mechanism responds through a tiered, pooled-fund-financed response model, including activation ahead of a shock in anticipatory action mode where triggers and thresholds are met. Response plans are developed with the relevant Geographic Lead Agency (GLA) for each priority area. Response is delivered in two tiers: Tier 1: a rapid, life-saving multi-sectoral package delivered within the first 15 days of activation. Tier 2: more targeted, vulnerability-based support delivered over the following period, up to approximately 90 days in total. MOZ-RRM operates a transparent, performance-based Partners Graduation Pathway, structured across three levels. The pathway is designed to support progressive strengthening of actors, enabling organizations to expand their role within humanitarian response over time: Level 1: Organizations that have completed the required screening, due diligence and readiness steps and may be considered for activation through the pooled fund, depending on their compliance status, sectoral capacity, geographic relevance, operational readiness, response needs and available funding Level 2: partners with demonstrated capacity, engaged in a longer-term role under a consortium member, participating in the Advisory Group. Level 3: full consortium membership. 2. PURPOSE OF THIS CALL This EOI is issued to identify national and international organizations interested in being considered for the MOZ-RRM Level 1 partner roster. Inclusion on the roster does not guarantee funding, partnership or activation. The purpose of Stage 1 is to identify organizations with the capacity and potential to contribute to rapid humanitarian response, anticipatory action and preparedness activities under the MOZ-RRM. Organizations that meet Stage 1 eligibility criteria at this stage will be invited to proceed to Stage 2, which will include due diligence, compliance checks and operational readiness review (see Section 7). This EOI is the first phase of a new MOZ-RRM Level 1 partner roster process. For this initial round, the consortium expects to identify approximately 8–10 organizations for further due diligence and readiness review, based on current geographic, sectoral, operational and compliance priorities. The process may be reopened or expanded in future rounds once the roster model has been tested and refined. Applicants not prioritized in this first phase may still be retained in the partner pipeline for future consideration. As the lead agency of the MOZ-RRM consortium, NRC is responsible for administering this EOI and roster process, including screening, due diligence and compliance verification. All compliance under this process follows the contractual requirements of MOZ-RRM’s donor, DG ECHO, and the terms of NRC’s contracting and sub-grant or partnership agreements, in addition to NRC's institutional policies and procedures. 3. GEOGRAPHIC AND SECTORAL SCOPE This EOI will prioritize organizations with operational presence, technical capacity or rapid mobilization capacity in the following districts: - Cabo Delgado: Mueda, Nangade, Muidumbe, Montepuez, Metuge, Chiúre, Mecúfi, Ancuabe, Macomia, Quissanga, Meluco, Ibo, Mocímboa da Praia, Palma, Balama, Namuno - Nampula: Erati, Memba MOZ-RRM prioritizes partners capable of rapidly mobilizing staff, supplies and services to reach affected populations within a period of 3 days following shocks causing population displacements and the subsequent activation of an alert-bound response. Operational presence elsewhere in Mozambique is welcomed but not a requirement. The consortium retains flexibility to activate the roster or the Crisis Modifier in other provinces for major emergencies. This EOI will prioritize organizations with operational presence, technical capacity or rapid mobilization capacity in the following sectors: WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) Shelter/Non-Food Items Health and Nutrition Education in Emergencies Child Protection/Protection/GBV Multi-purpose cash and voucher assistance (as a delivery modality where appropriate) Applicants should indicate the specific districts and sectors for which they wish to be considered and demonstrate their capacity in each of them. Inclusion in the roster, if later confirmed, may be limited to specific sectors, locations or response modalities based on the organization’s demonstrated capacity and readiness 4. MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY CONDITIONS AND SCREENING CRITERIA Both national and international organizations are eligible to apply. There is no exclusivity requirement; organizations already engaged with FAST-M, IOM's Rapid Response Fund, or a Country-Based Pooled Fund are encouraged to apply and may reference that status (see Section 5). At Stage 1, applicants should be able to confirm the following minimum requirements. Full organizational due diligence will be conducted only for organizations invited to proceed beyond Stage 1. Mandatory: • Legally registered in Mozambique, or legally authorized to operate in Mozambique, with a valid legal document • Active operational presence in Cabo Delgado and/or Nampula, OR demonstrated capacity to mobilize rapidly into these areas • Relevant technical expertise in at least one MOZ-RRM sector of intervention (Section 3) • Basic organizational systems in place: human resources, financial management, and logistics and reporting capacity • Not currently suspended, debarred or blacklisted by any donor, UN agency or government body • Willingness to comply with applicable donor, NRC and MOZ-RRM requirements, including safeguarding, PSEA, anti-fraud, financial management, visibility, reporting and audit requirements Additional Considerations • Demonstrable experience in humanitarian/emergency response programming, with preference given to organizations that have implemented similar activities within the last three years. • Demonstrated positive engagement with communities, local government, and national disaster management institutions, including the Instituto Nacional de Gestão de Calamidades (INGD), in the target area. • For organizations that have previously received sub-grants for rapid response, past performance and timely implementation will be considered. • Engagement with relevant coordination mechanisms (e.g., cluster system, inter-agency coordination platforms) • Experience with ECHO or USAID-funded programming 5. CONSENT FOR DUE DILIGENCE INFORMATION-SHARING To avoid duplicating requests already made by other coordination mechanisms, applicants will be asked to confirm: • Whether they are a current member of, or have completed due diligence with, FAST-M, IOM's Rapid Response Fund, a Country-Based Pooled Fund (CBPF), Start Network, one of the existing MOZ-RRM consortium members, or another recognized humanitarian vetting mechanism. • Consent for MOZ-RRM to request relevant due diligence and vetting records directly from that mechanism, where such information-sharing arrangements exist. • MOZ-RRM will still conduct its own supplementary checks, including sanctions and watchlist screening, regardless of prior vetting elsewhere. This is particularly important for organizations that would receive funds transferred by NRC as grant holders. 6. WHAT TO SUBMIT Applicants are asked to submit the following documents for Stage 1 through the NRC online submission platform, where you will be able to download the templates directly (see further instructions on how to apply). ● Annex 1: Organization Information Form Basic organizational details, legal status, contact information, geographic presence, sectors of expertise and prior emergency-response experience ● Annex 2: Narrative Template A short narrative, maximum 4 pages using the format provided, covering the organization’s operational presence, relevant sector experience, emergency-response experience, basic operational infrastructure, rapid mobilization capacity and relevance to the MOZ-RRM ● Annex 3: Self-declaration form Signed declaration confirming the accuracy of the information submitted, non-suspension/non-debarment, commitment to humanitarian principles, safeguarding/PSEA, anti-fraud and compliance requirements ● Annex 4: Passporting and Due Diligence information sharing consent form Confirmation of whether the organization has completed due diligence or is currently registered with another recognized mechanism, and whether the organization consents to MOZ-RRM/NRC requesting relevant information from that mechanism. Organizations with no prior platform membership or due diligence in place should indicate "not applicable." ● Please submit your legal registration documentation in a single PDF. ● Annex 5: Scoring and Prioritization Grid is provided for your information and does not need to be filled out or resubmitted. It sets out the mandatory Stage 1 checks and the scoring criteria used to assess and prioritize applications that pass those checks, including score thresholds and their outcomes. Applicants should NOT submit legal documents, audit reports, financial statements, bank details or full policy manuals, except for the organization’s legal registration documentation. These documents may be requested during Stage 2, where required, or obtained through passporting where the applicant has authorized information-sharing with another recognized mechanism. 7. SELECTION PROCESS This is a progressive screening and readiness process. Organizations may move through different status levels depending on eligibility, due diligence, compliance checks, operational readiness, training and response needs. Stage 1: EOI Screening • Submissions will be reviewed against the minimum eligibility conditions and screening criteria in Section 4 and further detailed in Annex 5 • Organizations meeting the Stage 1 requirements will be added to the MOZ-RRM preliminary roster list with an initial "identified" status and invited to Stage 2. • Applicants may be asked to provide clarifications where information is incomplete or unclear • Applicants will be notified of the outcome of Stage 1 within 14 working days of the EOI closing date. Stage 2: Due Diligence and Readiness Assessment • Organizations that meet the requirements of Stage 1 will be invited to complete the Stage 2 Due Diligence and Readiness Assessment Form. • Passporting will be used to reduce duplicate documentation requests, where applicable and where the applicant consents. It does not, however, replace NRC’s mandatory checks. • A capacity and readiness assessment may be conducted, including field verification by the relevant Geographic Lead Agencies of the Consortium (GLA), together with the Consortium Management Unit (CMU), to confirm operational presence, sectoral capacity, rapid response readiness and any support, training or verification needs. • Readiness and capacity will be assessed through the Stage 2 Due Diligence and Readiness Assessment Form, resulting in a Partnership Readiness Level that determines onboarding conditions and any capacity-strengthening support needed. Full scoring guidance will be provided to organizations invited to proceed to Stage 2. • Organizations that successfully complete Stage 2 may be confirmed on the Level 1 roster, subject to any conditions identified through the process, and will be eligible to position themselves for shock-based activations through the pooled fund, under the leadership of the Geographical Lead Agency. Important Note: Being listed on the roster does not guarantee activation or funding for any specific response. Activation depends on the needs of a given alert, sectoral fit, the response plan developed by the relevant GLA, and signing of response-specific agreements. Final approval of the EOI and roster process rests with the MOZ-RRM Steering Committee. Roster Validity: Organizations approved for the MOZ-RRM Level 1 Partner Roster will remain on the roster for a period of 24 months, subject to continued compliance with MOZ-RRM requirements, satisfactory performance and continued funding availability. The consortium reserves the right to conduct periodic reviews, suspend or remove organizations where significant compliance or capacity concerns arise. 8.

Expression of Interest for Learning & Evaluation Team Localization Initiatives – EAGL Region

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 12:33:22 +0000

Background and Context Founded in 1956, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian organisation working to protect and assist people affected by conflict and displacement around the world. It works in close to 30 countries supporting people at every stage of displacement; from acute crisis and exile through to settlement, integration and return. DRC is seeking expressions of interest from firms with demonstrable experience in longitudinal evaluation to serve as a long-term learning and evaluation team for a multi-year programme focused on locally led humanitarian response across Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, Uganda and Kenya. This is an Expression of Interest (EOI) stage. Respondents are not asked to submit a full technical or financial proposal at this point. The purpose of this EOI is to identify a shortlist of qualified firms who will subsequently be invited to respond to a full Terms of Reference in a second stage of the process. Rationale for a Developmental Evaluation Approach DRC is commissioning a developmental evaluation (DE) rather than a formative or summative evaluation. The DE is positioned as an impartial and longitudinal evaluation spanning the lifetime of the programme, with the aim of understanding the patterns of change as it is created and established and building a deeper analysis of the unique dynamics that drive it. This approach is warranted because: Genuinely evaluative questions - about whether the programme is achieving what it claims, and where it is falling short - need to be asked at a broad enough level to leave space for patterns and trends to be detected as they emerge, so they can also function as course-correction mechanisms rather than only retrospective judgements. The programme makes an explicit claim to be doing something different from conventional humanitarian financing. The evaluation needs to be honest and rigorous enough to test whether that claim actually holds, rather than assuming it. The DE has an explicit accountability function: it is expected to hold the progamme management team, to account for how well they are delivering on the programme’s mandate - which requires an evaluation team structurally independent enough to do so credibly. The operating context volatile and conflict-affected, meaning the programme’s model must be able to adapt to shifting conditions across its life cycle The DE consulting firm is expected to function as a critical friend, impartial evaluator, and real-time sense-maker; surfacing patterns, tensions, and unintended consequences early enough for the programme to adapt, while ultimately contributing to an overall assessment of its success and impact. Scope The evaluation covers the full lifetime of the progamme, from establishment through to eventual exit or wind-down. It is expected to run in phases aligned to the programme’s own lifecycle, with exact phase boundaries confirmed as the programme’s roadmap develops. The thematic scope spans six areas: Relevance and community-defined effectiveness: whether supported programming is effective from the perspective of the communities it serves Programme management: how well the management team are delivering on their mandate Adaptive learning and course correction: whether the programme functions as a genuine learning system, capable of changing in response to evidence, community feedback and shifting context Contribution to the wider humanitarian system: in what ways and under what conditions the programme strengthens local humanitarian systems and contributes to a more equitable humanitarian architecture in the region Technical Assistance: how the programme’s technical assistance offer is experienced by local actors and what its contribution to the overall programme effectiveness is Indicative evaluation questions will be shared with shortlisted candidates at the second stage. The questions are deliberately broad to leave space for patterns to be detected as they emerge and will be revisited periodically over the life of the engagement. Nature of the Engagement This is a multi-year engagement, expected to run until at least the end of 2028, structured in phases aligned to the programme’s lifecycle. In addition to the core longitudinal evaluation function, the selected consulting firm will have the option to provide flexible, drawdown-based technical MEAL support for discrete pieces of work that fall outside the core DE function. The DE consulting firm will have standing access to the programme governance meetings as an observer, and will produce a range of outputs across the engagement, including short-form real time learning briefs tied to governance milestones, periodic developmental evaluation reports, facilitated sensemaking sessions with governance bodies; annual synthesis reports; a mid-term review and a final exit-phase evaluation Required profile DRC is looking for a team that can demonstrate the following: Proven experience designing and delivering developmental evaluations over multi-year, longitudinal engagements, ideally of localisation initiatives, or adaptive governance mechanisms or programme accountability assignments. Substantive expertise in localisation and locally led response, including familiarity community-based structures Strong conflict sensitivity and remote/hybrid research methods, given access constraints in Sudan, sustained over a multi-year engagement.

Country Director – Nigeria

Position Start Date: 18.10.2026 Type of contract: CDM Duration: 24 months Location: Abuja (50%), with regular travel in Benue State and Borno State (50%). Status: Accompanied Terre des hommes does not set closing date for this position. Recruitment is on-going until the position is filled Tdh: Terre des hommes (Tdh), founded in 1960, is an independent, neutral and impartial Swiss organization committed to bringing meaningful and lasting change to the lives of children and youth, especially to those most exposed to risks. To make a difference, we focus on the areas of maternal and child health, children and youth migration, and access to justice. Context: Terre des hommes Foundation (Tdh) is an independent, neutral and impartial Swiss organisation founded in 1960, dedicated to bringing about significant and lasting change in the lives of children and young people, particularly those most at risk. Tdh works in 32 countries across humanitarian and development contexts. Nigeria is one of Tdh's most strategic programmes in Africa, requiring strong strategic vision, operational leadership and the ability to manage complex humanitarian and development portfolios. Tdh has been present in Nigeria since 2008. It established its operational base in Maiduguri in 2017 and reopened a base in Benue State in 2025. Today, Tdh operates across five states (Borno, Benue, Nasarawa, Ondo and Cross River), implementing programmes in health, WASH, migration, access to justice, education, and child protection. Our interventions combine prevention and response to child protection risks, with a strong emphasis on safeguarding children in complex humanitarian settings. In addition, Tdh implements an innovative Child Rights in Business programme in Nigeria. This initiative aims to prevent and address child labour in cocoa-producing communities by improving access to quality education, strengthening community-based child protection mechanisms, and engaging local authorities, communities and private sector actors to promote respect for children's rights. Tdh's approach is based on close collaboration with government authorities, local communities and civil society partners. As a result, the organisation enjoys strong recognition and credibility among communities, public authorities and key institutional and private donors, including SDC, ECHO, OCHA, IOM, DRA, CDCS, and Barry Callebaut. Like many international organisations operating in Nigeria, Tdh experienced a contraction of its portfolio in 2025 following changes in the humanitarian funding landscape.

Introduction The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) provides essential support to refugees and internally displaced persons worldwide, offering life-saving assistance during the initial stages of displacement crises and supporting transitional and long-term solutions in prolonged displacement situations. We continuously advocate for the rights of those affected by displacement and work to empower them. Our efforts extend across conflict-affected regions, along displacement routes, and in areas where refugees and IDPs settle. By collaborating with local actors and systems, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions to displacement. Founded in Denmark in 1956, DRC has grown into an international humanitarian organization with over 7,000 staff members and 8,000 volunteers. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, and operating in forty countries, DRC is a non-profit, politically independent, non-governmental, and non-denominational organization. Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced individuals. Our work is guided by our core values: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency. Background A country of around 230M inhabitants, with over 129 million currently living in poverty, Nigeria faces one of the world's most complex humanitarian crises in the world. The fifteen-year conflict in the Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) states, driven primarily by the Boko Haram insurgency and its splinter groups (ISWAP and JAS), has resulted in widespread displacement, violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws, and acute protection needs. More than 2.3 million people remain internally displaced in the northeast, while in the Northwest region an additional 1.3M people have been forcibly displaced due to banditry, kidnapping, and herders -farmers conflict. Northern Nigeria is heavily impacted by climate change, including lengthening lean seasons and erratic rainy seasons and droughts, resulting in food production shortfalls and more population displacements. Severe acute malnutrition is affecting a world-high total of 1.8 million children across BAY and northwestern states. DRC has been operating in Nigeria since 2016. The Country Office is in Abuja and there are 2 area offices in Maiduguri and Sokoto with sub offices in Gusau, Bama and Banki. The Cash and RRM Consortium is led by DRC and composed of Solidarités International, Impact Initiatives, and three National Partners. The Consortium aims to provide integrated life-saving assistance to address food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and build resilience among conflict and climate-affected populations in Northeast and Northwest Nigeria. It uses unconditional cash transfers to address immediate basic needs, improve food security, and reduce reliance on harmful coping strategies. Complementary services such as Protection, WASH and referrals for Nutrition and Health assistance ensure a holistic approach, especially in areas with rising malnutrition cases. The programme strengthens sector-wide coordination through support for coordination structures, collaboration with stakeholders, and monitoring economic trends and markets. It is supported by a centralized, interoperable information management system that facilitates data sharing and coordination among the humanitarian community. The Consortium Management Unit will be composed of a Chief-of-Party, Cash Coordinator, Grants and Communications Coordinator, MEAL Coordinator, Finance and Administration Coordinator, and an IM Specialist. Purpose The Consortium Cash Coordinator provides overall technical oversight, leadership and coordination to the Nigeria Cash and RRM Consortium as part of its Consortium Management Unit (CMU).

Description de l’organisation Fondée en 2006, One Acre Fund aide 5,5 millions de petits exploitants agricoles à accroître la productivité de leurs exploitations. Présents dans neuf pays qui regroupent les deux tiers des agriculteurs africains, nous fournissons des produits agricoles de qualité, des plants d'arbres, des crédits accessibles, des formations agricoles modernes et une large gamme d'autres services agricoles. En moyenne, ce modèle permet à tout agriculteur d'augmenter ses revenus et ses actifs de plus de 35 % sur les terres qu'il exploite, tout en améliorant durablement sa résilience. Tout cela est rendu possible grâce à notre équipe de plus de 9 000 employés à temps plein, issus d'horizons et de professions diverses. Pour en savoir plus, consultez notre article: Pourquoi travailler ici. On estime que 1,1 million d'hectares de terres forestières disparaissent chaque année en République Démocratique du Congo. Cette tendance à la déforestation, qui a des conséquences importantes pour la région, est principalement attribuée aux pratiques agricoles à petite échelle.

Completeness IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further including the proposal length. 5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. 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. 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. 5.4.

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%.

IUCN is using the Open Procedure for this procurement. This means that the contracting opportunity is published on IUCN’s website and open to all interested parties to take part, subject to the conditions in Section 7 below. 6.2. You are welcome to ask questions or seek clarification regarding this procurement. Please email the IUCN Contact (see Section 2), taking note of the deadline for submission of questions in Section 3.1. 6.3.

IUCN does, however, reserve the right to cancel the procurement and not award a contract at all. 6.4. IUCN will contact the bidder with the highest-scoring Proposal to finalise the contract. We will contact unsuccessful bidders after the contract has been awarded and provide detailed feedback. The timetable in Section 3.1 gives an estimate of when we expect to have completed the contract award, but this date may change depending on how long the evaluation of Proposals takes. 7.

Specific Objectives 1. Establish baseline values for the REPLAN project results framework. The draft results framework is available. 2. To identify priority restoration landscapes and implementation sites to inform project implementation. 3. Review and strengthen the project Results Framework, Theory of Change, indicators and targets. 4. To develop a practical and integrated MEAL system, including the PMP, PIRS, DQA framework and reporting tools. 5. Embed cross-cutting principles into the project monitoring system by ensuring that gender equality, human rights, safeguards, Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), grievance redress, conflict sensitivity, social inclusion, and stakeholder engagement are systematically integrated into monitoring, reporting, and learning processes. 6. To strengthen the capacity of the PMU and implementing partners to implement the MEAL system. Background The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is implementing the project ‘Building Resilient Community Conservancies for Biodiversity Conservation, Resilience, Livelihood Improvement and Peace/Security in the Churo-Kirisia-Mukogodo-Oldonyiro-Ndoto-Mathews Ranges-Sabarwawa Ecosystems in Northern Kenya’, short form REPLAN. The project is funded by the European Union under the NaturAfrica programme and implemented by IUCN in partnership with WWF-Kenya, VSF-Suisse and the Regional Centre for Mapping Resources and Development (RCMRD), each of which has responsibility for specific technical workstreams. REPLAN is a 4-year project (2026 – 2029) implemented in a connected dryland landscape covering parts of Laikipia, Samburu, Isiolo, Baringo and Marsabit counties. The project area includes community conservancies, rangelands, dryland forests, riparian systems, wetlands, wildlife corridors, water towers, pastoral mobility routes and nature-based livelihood systems. The landscape faces interlinked pressures, including biodiversity loss, rangeland degradation, invasive species, water scarcity, human-wildlife conflict, climate vulnerability, weak natural resource governance, unclear resource tenure, and recurring resource use conflict and mobility. The project seeks to strengthen the resilience of communities and ecosystems by improving biodiversity conservation, restoring degraded landscapes, strengthening climate-resilient livelihoods, promoting alternative energy, improving water and rangeland governance, supporting inclusive community institutions, strengthening human rights-based approaches, and improving conflict-sensitive natural resource governance. About IUCN IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN is now the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of more than 1,400 Member organisations and some 15,000 experts. It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards. IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development.

Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN About the Project REPLAN has four main components: Component 1: Improve biodiversity and ecosystem conservation in Northern Central Kenya. This includes degradation and invasive species mapping, restoration of degraded ecosystems, rangeland reseeding, invasive species management, water conservation measures, biodiversity monitoring, OECM-related work, safeguards screening, Human Rights Impact Assessments, Gender Analysis and human-wildlife coexistence measures. Component 2: Improve livelihoods and resilience of communities, especially women and youth. This includes support to regenerative green and nature-based enterprises, sustainable enterprise plans, blended finance support, alternative energy solutions, predator-proof bomas, and resilient livestock market systems. Component 3: Strengthen inclusive natural resource governance in project landscapes. This includes community land processes, grievance redress mechanisms, dispute-resolution frameworks, peacebuilding, IMET assessments, stakeholder learning and advocacy. Component 4: Project management, coordination, monitoring, evaluation, learning and communication. This includes baseline, mid-term review, endline, project coordination, reporting, knowledge management, financial management and adaptive learning. This Terms of Reference (ToR) provides the framework for an integrated baseline assessment that will consolidate these workstreams into a coherent project baseline. The baseline will provide the foundations for sex, age, vulnerability, and location disaggregated monitoring as well as for community resilience, socio-economic change, governance outcomes, private sector engagement and safeguards performance. The consultancy will therefore support IUCN to develop an integrated baseline and Project Monitoring Plan that brings together project level Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) requirements and partner-led technical baseline inputs into one coherent monitoring system required for implementation, partner reporting, donor reporting and adaptive management. Purpose of the Assignment The purpose of the assignment is to establish credible baseline values, methods, tools and datasets for REPLAN’s logical framework, and develop the core project Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning Plan required for implementation, donor reporting, safeguards tracking and adaptive management. The baseline will provide the reference point against which project outputs, outcomes, EU Common Indicators and NaturAfrica indicators will be monitored, evaluated and reported. It will also support site prioritisation, partner work planning, safeguards implementation and compliance, gender-responsive programming, accountability and stakeholder feedback mechanisms beneficiary targeting, risk management, and learning throughout project implementation. Description of the Assignment IUCN seeks the services of a consultant to provide REPLAN and its partners with a technically sound, practical and field-usable baseline and Monitoring Evaluation Accountability and Learning (MEAL) system that enables the project to measure progress, demonstrate results, manage risks, support learning, and report credibly to the European Union. The specific tasks of the consultancy are: 1. Establish baseline values for all REPLAN project indicators 2. Review, refine and, where necessary propose changes to the project results framework, indicators, targets, means of verification review the project's Theory of Change (ToC) to ensure logical flow from activities to EU-level outcomes. 3. Develop a Project MEAL plan Plan that includes a) a monitoring plan which defines what will be measured, how, by whom, how often, using which tools, and with what quality controls; b) project Learning agenda to include learning questions, pause and reflect sessions and adaptive manage sessions; c) project knowledge management plan and d) and accountability plan to address grievance procedures 4. Develop a MEAL risk register 5. Prepare Performance Indicator Reference Sheets for all project indicators. 6. Develop a Data Quality Assurance framework, including data verification procedures, reporting responsibilities, evidence requirements and partner-level quality checks. 7. Co-design practical reporting templates and tools for IUCN, WWF-Kenya, VSF-Suisse, RCMRD and other relevant project actors. 8. Assess the status and drivers of ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss and identify priority restoration landscapes and implementation sites using the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) and a participatory Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA). 9. Undertake a stocktake of existing restoration initiatives to document best practices, lessons learned, and what has worked and not worked in the target country, drawing on scientific evidence and local and Indigenous knowledge. 10. In consultation with the consortium members and applying the principles of NbS develop context-specific restoration action packages for the prioritized landscapes, defining the recommended restoration interventions, implementation approaches, indicative investment needs, expected outcomes, and monitoring indicators. 11. Stakeholder Mapping and Categorization; Identifying all relevant actors, their interests, and their operational scales (from local to national). 12. Establish existing coordination mechanisms and related gaps targeting gender and social inclusion in the coordination structures and policy-related bottlenecks. 13. Security and conflict dynamics mapping to identify the hotspots, frequency, root causes and potential impacts to vulnerable groups. 14. Establish a beneficiary tracking and disaggregation framework covering sex, age, location, vulnerability category and relevant stakeholder group. 15. Integrate gender, safeguards, human rights, Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), stakeholder engagement, Grievance Redress Mechanisms (GRM), conflict sensitivity and inclusion requirements into the MEAL system. 16. Produce a final baseline report and MEAL package that can be used by the Project Management Unit and implementing partners. The assignment will cover all REPLAN components, outputs, indicators and partner workstreams. It will include both quantitative and qualitative methods, and will draw on field-level, institutional, geospatial, ecological, socio-economic, governance, gender, safeguards and conflict-related data. The consultant will work across the four REPLAN micro-landscapes and relevant counties, including the following broad landscape clusters: Churo-Kirisia / Ruko-Kaptuya-Mukutan landscape; Mukogodo-Oldonyiro / Naibunga-Shulmai landscape; Ndoto-Mathews landscape and Sabarwawa / Melako-Shurr landscape. Final field sites will be confirmed during inception in consultation with IUCN and implementing partners. Methodology The baseline assessment will establish the starting position for REPLAN’s results framework and develop the core Monitoring Evaluation Accountability and Learning system required to track implementation, measure results, support adaptive management and meet donor reporting requirements. The consultant will apply a mixed-methods approach combining document review, indicator mapping, field-based quantitative and qualitative data collection, geospatial and biophysical data review, partner consultations, and validation with IUCN and implementing partners. The consultant shall not duplicate technical assessments already planned under other project activities, such as detailed geospatial mapping by RCMRD or specialist ecological assessments by biodiversity partners. The consultant shall coordinate with these workstreams and integrate available data into the baseline assessment and Project Monitoring Plan (PMP). Where partner-generated data are not available during the assignment, the consultant shall document the resulting data gaps, use the best available evidence where appropriate, and recommend how and when the outstanding data should be incorporated into the baseline and PMP. The following are some of the activities to be included in the methodology: 1. Desk review and inception: Review relevant project documents and prepare an inception report setting out the proposed methodology, sampling approach, fieldwork plan, tools, team composition, data quality approach, ethical and safeguards protocols, risk management measures and detailed workplan. 2. Results framework and indicator review: Review the REPLAN project results framework and assess whether each indicator is clear, measurable, attributable, feasible and aligned with available data sources. The assessment will develop a practical indicator measurement framework for all project outcomes and outputs. 3. Methodology, sampling and data collection tools: The consultant shall design a mixed-methods baseline methodology, including the proposed sampling approach, data collection methods and tools, quality assurance measures, and analytical framework. The proposed methodology shall be technically robust, practical and fit for the scope and objectives of the assignment, with a clear justification for the proposed approach. 4. Landscape Restoration Opportunity Assessment and Restoration Planning: Applying the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) and a participatory Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), the firm will assess ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, identify priority restoration landscapes and implementation sites, undertake a stocktake of existing restoration initiatives, and develop context-specific Nature-based Solutions (NbS) restoration action packages, including recommended interventions, implementation approaches, indicative investment needs, and monitoring indicators. 5. Field data collection: Undertake field data collection in selected project landscapes and counties using a mixed-methods approach proposed by the consultant and approved during the inception phase. The proposed methodology shall be appropriate to the scope and objectives of the assignment and should capture ecological, livelihood, governance, gender, safeguards, conflict, grievance redress and inclusion dimensions of the project. The consultant shall ensure that data collection does not raise unrealistic expectations or create conflict over project benefits. 6. Establish baseline values and confirm targets: Analyse collected data and establish baseline values for each indicator. For indicators where a baseline cannot be fully established during the assignment due to unforeseen issues, the consultant shall clearly explain the limitation and propose the method, responsible party, and timeline for confirming the baseline. The consultant shall also review and recommend refinements to targets where current targets are incomplete or require clarification. 7. Develop the Project Monitoring Plan: The consultant shall develop a Project Monitoring Plan (PMP) for REPLAN. The PMP shall be practical, concise, and usable by the PMU and partners. The PMP shall clearly identify which indicators are reported by IUCN, WWF-Kenya, VSF-Suisse, RCMRD or other actors, and how data will be consolidated. The consultant shall also prepare Performance Indicator Reference (PIR) Sheets for each indicator. The contents of the PIR shall be agreed during the inception phase. 8. Develop the Data Quality Assurance (DQA) framework: The consultant shall develop a DQA framework to guide project monitoring and reporting. The framework shall cover elements discussed during the inception workshop and should also include a simple DQA checklist for use during partner reporting and supervision. 9. Develop partner reporting tools and beneficiary tracking system: The consultant shall prepare reporting templates aligned to the donor reporting requirement and monitoring tools for use by IUCN and partners. The beneficiary tracking system shall enable disaggregation by sex, age, county, micro-landscape, conservancy/community, vulnerability category, beneficiary type and intervention type, subject to data protection and informed consent requirements. 10. Integrate Gender, Safeguards, HRBA, GRM and Conflict Sensitivity into MEAL: The consultant shall also work with the IUCN and Partner Gender and Safeguards team to ensure that the MEAL system captures the implementation of safeguards, gender, human rights and conflict-sensitivity commitments. These should be embedded in indicator reporting, activity reporting, field supervision, and adaptive management. 11. Validation and Capacity Building: The consultant shall organise and facilitate a validation workshop with IUCN, WWF-Kenya, VSF-Suisse, RCMRD and relevant stakeholders. The consultant shall also provide practical orientation to the Project Management Unit (PMU) and implementing partners on the use of the MEAL system, including monitoring and reporting tools, data quality assurance procedures, and roles and responsibilities for data collection, reporting and quality control.

Withdrawals and Changes You may freely withdraw or change your Proposal at any time prior to the submission deadline by written notice to the IUCN Contact. However, in order to reduce the risk of fraud, no changes or withdrawals will be accepted after the submission deadline. 5. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS 5.1. Completeness IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further. 5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. 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. 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. 5.4. 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 EURO 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is EURO 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%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score. 6. EXPLANATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE 6.1. IUCN is using the Open Procedure for this procurement. This means that the contracting opportunity is published on IUCN’s website and open to all interested parties to take part, subject to the conditions in Section 7 below. 6.2.

Specific Objectives The consultancy shall: Assess existing governance and management frameworks for the target CMAs, including review of management plans, action plans, bylaws, governance structures, ecological information, and institutional arrangements. Facilitate participatory stakeholder consultations with communities, Shehia Fishermen Committee (SFCs), local government authorities, fisheries institutions, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure local priorities and knowledge are reflected.

Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ About the Project Pamoja Tuhifadhi Bahari Yetu Project is a 4-year initiative (2024 – 2028) aiming to contribute to the improved environmental protection and biodiversity conservation of the coastal and marine ecosystems in Tanzania. Funded by the European Union through the Blue Economy for job creation and climate change adaptation, the project is implemented in parts of the Mtwara, Lindi, Coast and Dar es Salaam regions (Mainland) and Unguja Island in Zanzibar. The total project budget is 11.4M Euros. The initiative will contribute to a climate-resilient Blue Economy on the Tanzanian coastal cities and ecosystems. The project implementation is led by IUCN and partnering with WWF, WCS, TNC and ForumCC. The rampant degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems, weak land-use systems, poor governance of marine and coastal resources, high dependence on marine resources, and climate change are the most significant problems threatening the long-term productivity of Tanzania’s coastal and marine natural capital. Critical issues include coastal development; mangrove destruction; marine pollution from surface runoff and plastic waste; overfishing, damaging fishing practices and weak resources governance; targeting of juvenile and undersize fish and invertebrates (lobsters, crabs and sea cucumber); an uncoordinated and piecemeal approach to biodiversity and ecosystem-based fisheries management at the local level; poor advocacy skills and limited knowledge on environmental legislation for community conservation efforts; and unsustainable financing of coastal and marine resources. The Bahari Yetu project’s theory of change is that the stewardship of the marine biodiversity and blue economy will be improved if: 1) science based natural resource management and governance at a landscape and seascape scale is improved; 2) economic benefits from conservation-based enterprises are increased for women and youth; 3) new technologies and approaches for increased climate resilience measures by communities are introduced and adopted; 4) knowledge management and capacity building on marine and coastal resources management (including forests) is improved; and 5) natural resource policy development, institutions, evidence-based research and monitoring and implementation are enhanced. The project will build on the foundation and opportunities established by current and previous programs and projects, increasing focus on the well-being of rural populations, biodiversity conservation and climate action while retaining blue economy strategy implementation as its core goal. The program rationale rests on the linkage between environment and economic growth and poverty alleviation and the challenge of sustainable management of Tanzania’s biodiversity assets. The project will align management and conservation of marine and coastal resources and demonstrate that addressing conservation and development objectives simultaneously leads to better decisions and more sustainably managed ecosystems under the Blue Economy. Description of the Assignment Under Work Package 1 of the Bahari Yetu Project, IUCN seeks to strengthen community-based fisheries governance and biodiversity conservation through support to Collaborative Management Areas (CMAs) in the Northeast Unguja Seascape.

Completeness IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further. 5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. 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. 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. 5.4. 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 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%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score. 6. EXPLANATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE 6.1.

Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ About the Project Pamoja Tuhifadhi Bahari Yetu Project is a 4-year initiative (2024 – 2028) aiming to contribute to the improved environmental protection and biodiversity conservation of the coastal and marine ecosystems in Tanzania. Funded by the European Union through the Blue Economy for job creation and climate change adaptation, the project is implemented in parts of the Mtwara, Lindi, Coast and Dar es Salaam regions (Mainland) and Unguja Island in Zanzibar. The total project budget is 11.4M Euros. The initiative will contribute to a climate-resilient Blue Economy on the Tanzanian coastal cities and ecosystems. The project implementation is led by IUCN and partnering with WWF, WCS, TNC and ForumCC. The rampant degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems, weak land-use systems, poor governance of marine and coastal resources, high dependence on marine resources, and climate change are the most significant problems threatening the long-term productivity of Tanzania’s coastal and marine natural capital. Critical issues include coastal development; mangrove destruction; marine pollution from surface runoff and plastic waste; overfishing, damaging fishing practices and weak resources governance; targeting of juvenile and undersize fish and invertebrates (lobsters, crabs and sea cucumber); an uncoordinated and piecemeal approach to biodiversity and ecosystem-based fisheries management at the local level; poor advocacy skills and limited knowledge on environmental legislation for community conservation efforts; and unsustainable financing of coastal and marine resources. The Bahari Yetu project’s theory of change is that the stewardship of the marine biodiversity and blue economy will be improved if: 1) science based natural resource management and governance at a landscape and seascape scale is improved; 2) economic benefits from conservation-based enterprises are increased for women and youth; 3) new technologies and approaches for increased climate resilience measures by communities are introduced and adopted; 4) knowledge management and capacity building on marine and coastal resources management (including forests) is improved; and 5) natural resource policy development, institutions, evidence-based research and monitoring and implementation are enhanced. The project will build on the foundation and opportunities established by current and previous programs and projects, increasing focus on the well-being of rural populations, biodiversity conservation and climate action while retaining blue economy strategy implementation as its core goal. The program rationale rests on the linkage between environment and economic growth and poverty alleviation and the challenge of sustainable management of Tanzania’s biodiversity assets. The project will align management and conservation of marine and coastal resources and demonstrate that addressing conservation and development objectives simultaneously leads to better decisions and more sustainably managed ecosystems under the Blue Economy Description of the Assignment Under Work Package 1 of the Bahari Yetu Project, IUCN seeks to strengthen community-based fisheries governance and biodiversity conservation through support to Collaborative Fisheries Management Areas (CFMAs) in the Mtwara Seascape.

Completeness IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further. 5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. 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. 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. 5.4. 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 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%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score. 6. EXPLANATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE 6.1. IUCN is using the Open Procedure for this procurement. This means that the contracting opportunity is published on IUCN’s website and open to all interested parties to take part, subject to the conditions in Section 7 below. 6.2. You are welcome to ask questions or seek clarification regarding this procurement. Please email the IUCN Contact (see Section 2), taking note of the deadline for submission of questions in Section 3.1. 6.3. All Proposals must be received by the submission deadline in Section 3.1 above. Late Proposals will not be considered. All Proposals received by the submission deadline will be evaluated by a team of three or more evaluators in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in this RfP. No other criteria will be used to evaluate Proposals. The contract will be awarded to the bidder whose Proposal received the highest Total Score. IUCN does, however, reserve the right to cancel the procurement and not award a contract at all. 6.4. IUCN will contact the bidder with the highest-scoring Proposal to finalise the contract. We will contact unsuccessful bidders after the contract has been awarded and provide detailed feedback. The timetable in Section 3.1 gives an estimate of when we expect to have completed the contract award, but this date may change depending on how long the evaluation of Proposals takes. 7.

Background Project Reference: P04809 Donor reference: (DN00140) About IUCN IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN is now the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of more than 1,400 Member organisations and around 15,000 experts. It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards. IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development. Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ About the Project Pamoja Tuhifadhi Bahari Yetu Project is a 4-year initiative (2024 – 2028) aiming to contribute to the improved environmental protection and biodiversity conservation of the coastal and marine ecosystems in Tanzania. Funded by the European Union through the Blue Economy for job creation and climate change adaptation, the project is implemented in parts of the Mtwara, Lindi, Coast and Dar es Salaam regions (Mainland) and Unguja Island in Zanzibar. The total project budget is 11.4M Euros. The initiative will contribute to a climate-resilient Blue Economy on the Tanzanian coastal cities and ecosystems. The project implementation is led by IUCN and partnering with WWF, WCS, TNC and ForumCC. The rampant degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems, weak land-use systems, poor governance of marine and coastal resources, high dependence on marine resources, and climate change are the most significant problems threatening the long-term productivity of Tanzania’s coastal and marine natural capital. Critical issues include coastal development; mangrove destruction; marine pollution from surface runoff and plastic waste; overfishing, damaging fishing practices and weak resources governance; targeting of juvenile and undersize fish and invertebrates (lobsters, crabs and sea cucumber); an uncoordinated and piecemeal approach to biodiversity and ecosystem-based fisheries management at the local level; poor advocacy skills and limited knowledge on environmental legislation for community conservation efforts; and unsustainable financing of coastal and marine resources. The Bahari Yetu project’s theory of change is that the stewardship of the marine biodiversity and blue economy will be improved if: 1) science based natural resource management and governance at a landscape and seascape scale is improved; 2) economic benefits from conservation-based enterprises are increased for women and youth; 3) new technologies and approaches for increased climate resilience measures by communities are introduced and adopted; 4) knowledge management and capacity building on marine and coastal resources management (including forests) is improved; and 5) natural resource policy development, institutions, evidence-based research and monitoring and implementation are enhanced. The project will build on the foundation and opportunities established by current and previous programs and projects, increasing focus on the well-being of rural populations, biodiversity conservation and climate action while retaining blue economy strategy implementation as its core goal. The program rationale rests on the linkage between environment and economic growth and poverty alleviation and the challenge of sustainable management of Tanzania’s biodiversity assets. The project will align management and conservation of marine and coastal resources and demonstrate that addressing conservation and development objectives simultaneously leads to better decisions and more sustainably managed ecosystems under the Blue Economy Description of the Assignment IUCN Tanzania office has received funds from the European Union to implement the Pamoja Tuhifadhi Bahari Yetu Project. Under Component 1 of the project, one of its commitments is to implement a blue economy incubation (BEI) programme aimed at supporting 18 CBOs engaged in blue economy-related enterprises. The BEI programme seeks to promote sustainable and improved livelihoods, enhance marine and coastal conservation and create blue jobs particularly for youth and women through interventions such as entrepreneurship training, business plan development and ongoing technical support. To support this process, a consultant was engaged to map CBOs involved in blue economy-related value chains including seaweed farming and value addition, crab fattening, fish farming, sea cucumber farming, eco-tourism, mangrove restoration, fish processing, and to develop blue economy incubation roadmap. The mapping exercise identified a total of 100 CBOs across the project landscapes (Mtwara and Unguja Island). However, given the project target of supporting only 18 CBOs, the BEI programme will directly support only 18 CBOs from the mapped 100. The Project has identified 8 out of 100 groups to start with; the remaining 10 groups will be jointly identified from the existing database or any additional information gathered from the respective district authorities. Communities in these seascapes hold vast potential for a regenerative blue economy, comprising seaweed farming and value addition, crab fattening, fish farming, sea cucumber farming, eco-tourism, mangrove restoration, fish processing. Despite many blue economy opportunities available to coastal communities, the communities continue to face poverty due to various reasons. Some of the contributing factors include taping blue economy opportunities for subsistence rather than business purposes, lack of entrepreneurship knowledge and skills and limited access to capital. Therefore, the project aims to support and implement an incubation programme to build the capacity of communities to enable them to accelerate and upscale their blue economy businesses. The focus will be on blue economy businesses with the potential positive impacts to marine and coastal conservation and socio-economic development. It is in this regards that, the IUCN Tanzania Office is seeking an incubation firm/institution to review and manage a Blue Economy Incubation (BEI) programme that supports the community regenerative blue economy and sustainable management of marine and coastal resources in Northeast Unguja and Mtwara seascapes. This initiative will play a key role in advancing community engagement in blue economy activities while playing part in the conservation of marine and coastal resources The BEI programme will also create economic opportunities, particularly for youth and women, by improving their income through program participation. It is expected that the incubation institution/firm will support and manage the blue economy incubation programme, aligning with Tanzania’s Blue Economy Development Strategy and international sustainability goals Duration of the Assignment Deliverables and Activities The consultant will provide the following deliverables and carry out the following activities: Deliverable/Activity - Description - Deadline 1.

Completeness IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further. 5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. 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. 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. 5.4. 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 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%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score. 6. EXPLANATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE 6.1. IUCN is using the Open Procedure for this procurement. This means that the contracting opportunity is published on IUCN’s website and open to all interested parties to take part, subject to the conditions in Section 7 below. 6.2.

Conditions 50 to 60 of the Gamsberg EA sets out the special biodiversity offset conditions, which required BMM to, among other things, secure in perpetuity, through one or more of the mechanisms provided for in section 20 or 23 of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, 57 of 2003, as amended (NEMPAA), areas and/or portions of properties which individually or collectively comprise at the least the following areas of sustainably intact habitat that house the following vegetation types: 3 700ha of land comprising Aggeneys Gravel Vygieveld, including those component habitats supporting quartz gravel communities and those that are range restricted or which support localised and endemic plant species; 2 200ha of Bushmanland Inselberg Shrubland, including those habitat units supporting large succulent plants on the south facing aspects; 4 000ha of Bushmanland Arid Grassland, including those component habitats supporting calcrete gravel communities; and 2 000ha of Azonal vegetation types compromising Bushmanland ephemeral river courses and outwash plains. Condition 57 of the Gamsberg EA also required BMM to enter into a legal agreement with the DAERL in order to regulate the manner in which the Offset obligations are discharged and managed. The BOA was accordingly entered into between DAERL and BMM on 16 October 2014. It is a requirement under the Gamsberg EA, and under clause 14.7 of the BOA, for an independent review (IR) of the implementation of the BOA to be undertaken by an independent auditor or team of independent auditors every five years, with the first review to be undertaken upon the expiry of the five year period - calculated from the date of signature of the BOA, being 16 October 2014. The first IR was conducted over the period of September to November 2019 by an independent auditor. The draft report prepared by the independent auditor following the initial IR (published in November 2019) (Draft Report), highlighted substantial implementation challenges as well as differences between BMM and DAERL (collectively, the Parties) regarding the interpretation of the BOA. In this context, the Parties, under the guidance of the steering committee established in terms of clause 12 of the BOA (SC), required further assistance from the independent auditor to assist the Parties in better understanding the compliance related findings, the implementation challenges, as well as the interpretational difficulties that were identified in the Draft Report. The Parties also required the independent auditor to undertake a follow up/closing review which was completed in May 2020. The first and follow up review, are both regarded by the Parties as the “First Review”. A copy of the First Review report will be provided to the independent auditor upon appointment. The Parties further agreed for the second review to be conducted in 2022 (Second Review), two years earlier than required in terms of the BOA, as per the recommendations of the First Independent Review. The Second Review occurred between October 2022 and February 2023. The final report in respect of the Second Review was published in February 2023. Several recommendations to the SC were made in the Second Review in respect of, inter alia,improving and/or enhancing the implementation of the Offset. In the second review, one of the recommendations called to consider conducting an independent review in 2024 once the Second Time Period has lapsed. That Second Time Period was further extended of a year (to 1 March 2025) and it was therefore decided by the parties to have the third independent review after the 1 March 2025 deadline. The purpose of this RFP is to appoint a suitable qualified independent auditor or team of auditors to conduct the third independent review of the BOA. Description of the Assignment The requirements of the review are prescribed by clauses 14.7 to 14.10 of the BOA. The purpose of the review is set out in clause 14.8 of the BOA, which is to: clause 14.8.1: determine compliance with the provisions of the BOA by the Parties (being, BMM and DEARL). In this regard, we note that the independent reviewer must focus in particular on the provisions of those clauses in respect of which the Parties were found to be partially compliant and/or non-compliant in the Second Review, and on those clauses which the Parties were not assessed against during the Second Review. The independent auditor is also expected to determine whether the recommendations made in the Second Review report have been implemented by the relevant Party/ies; clause 14.8.2: determine the adequacy of the implementation of the Offset in terms of the BOA; and clause 14.8.3: provide recommendations to the SC on, inter alia, improving and/or enhancing the implementation of the Offset, including recommendations to adjust the financial provisions in terms of clause 10 of the BOA, where required. It is also required of the reviewer to provide initial suggestions and insights on the following points during the review process: The readiness of the Parties to undertake the verification of completion of the Offset in terms of clauses 14.3 to 14.6 of the BOA, as well as the actions still to be taken to achieve completion of the Offset (and what is meant by completion of the biodiversity offset?) Recommended measures to be implemented by the Parties to ensure the financial sustainability of the Gamsberg Nature Reserve beyond BMM’s financial contributions under this BOA The adequacy of the current suretyship provided by BMM (Was there a resolution of the directors/Board of the company providing the suretyship? Is there a quantification of the financial value of the suretyship? Should it be reflected as a conditional liability in the audited financial statements of the company providing the suretyship?) The actual duration of the financial provisions to be made by BMM in terms of BOA What are the rehabilitation responsibilities of BMM in terms of BOA and what should be understood by rehabilitation in the context of the BOA? and Guidance managing the respective governance requirements of the BOA, the Integrated Management Plan of the nature reserve, and the Gamsberg Nature Reserve Trust, to ensure effective, efficient, and integrated management of the Gamsberg nature reserve while avoiding duplication of governance structures. The following documents are annexed to this RFP: the Gamsberg EA; the BOA; the draft First Review report, dated November 2019; the First Review follow-up report, May 2020; the Second Review report, dated 20 February 2023; Proposals should be divided into two parts, technical and financial, two separate documents.

Compliant (C) All actions outlined in the clause were completed and where a specific timeframe was stipulated in the BOA activities were completed within the required timeframe. A clause was only assessed as compliant if the IP were fully compliant with the clause Completed but Late (C-L) The objective of the clause was achieved and all necessary activities were completed. No further actions were required. However, the IP did not complete the required actions within the timeframe specified by the BOA. *Note: This category was added after the Initial IA Report was completed Partially Compliant (P-C) Some of the activities in the clause had been completed but not all and further actions were required to achieve compliance. The IP were assessed as P-C with a clause if more than 50% of the requirements had been met and these were tangible. Since large areas of sensitive habitat had been secured clauses 6.3.1 to 6.3.4 were assessed as P-C. Where the IP had taken considerable steps to progress compliance this was noted in the report Not Compliant (N-C) Where the parties had made some progress in the right direction but there was still nothing tangible i.e. although the correct paperwork existed for fencing, no fencing had taken place on the ground yet so this was assessed as N-C. Where part of any clause was non-compliant the IR generally assessed the whole clause as not compliant Not Assessed (N-A) Where there was no implementation obligation to either IP and/or information was missing preventing the clause from being assessed i.e. the MP could not be assessed since it had not yet been developed at the time of the Initial IA; or if a time frame had not yet been reached and therefore the clause could not yet be assessed. No Compliance Obligation (NCO) Where clauses did not have compliance obligations; The structure and format of the report should also be aligned with the previous independent review reports. It should be noted that the procurement process is undertaken by IUCN on behalf of the SC, comprised of BMM and DAERL representatives. The IUCN will be the project manager for the review process, and therefore, the service provider (independent auditor) will report directly to the IUCN during this process. The IUCN will oversee the entire process and will be copied on all communication related to the review from or to the service provider (independent auditor). The service provider (independent reviewer) should schedule and include in its costing proposal at least one site visit to Gamsberg. Documents used to conduct the IR will be centralised by IUCN and provided to the selected auditor, once appointed, under a strict confidentiality agreement. Requests for additional documents will be channelled through IUCN. Interviews with representatives of the Parties, if needed, will be scheduled early in the audit process, in collaboration with IUCN. Such interviews can be done virtually. Representatives from the parties are in Johannesburg, Gamsberg (Aggeneys in the Northern Cape Province) and Kimberley.

Completeness IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further. 5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. 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.

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 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%.

Withdrawals and Changes You may freely withdraw or change your Proposal at any time prior to the submission deadline by written notice to the IUCN Contact. However, in order to reduce the risk of fraud, no changes or withdrawals will be accepted after the submission deadline. 5. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS 5.1. Completeness IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further. 5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. 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. 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. 5.4. 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 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%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score. 6. EXPLANATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE 6.1.

This project is a collaborative effort where joint action on the ground will produce critical lessons from tried best practices that inform policy which strengthen business approaches, institutions, and rules around the sustainable use of land and water. MozWateR is being implemented collaboratively with the Northern Regional Water Administration (ARA-Norte), Central Regional Water Administration (ARA-Centro) and the National Directorate for Water Resources Management (DNGRH) as primary Implementing Partners (IPs) to combat several challenges in the national water sector. Description of goods and Services 1. Objectives Implementation of the construction project for the Zembe dam located in the Macate District, Manica Province. The works include the construction of the dam structure and auxiliary water utilization infrastructure. The construction of the dam has the following objectives: i. Improved threat management and disaster risk reduction; ii. Promote and reduce small-scale crop loss, especially of vegetables and legumes, during periods of drought; iii. Ensure the availability of water for domestic use; iv. Other social activities. 2. Site overview The proposed location for the dam is situated in the Búzi River basin, specifically along the Mucessa River, at coordinates 19°16'25.70"S and 33°21'15.24"E, in the Zembe Administrative Post, Macate District, Manica Province.  From a geological point of view, rock outcrops are observed in the bed of the identified section, but not on the slopes.  Regarding the valley's morphology, it is a narrow and shallow section, with a maximum estimated depth of about 4 meters, suitable for dam construction. The valley is relatively closed in the area of the dam's axis and slightly more open upstream, a condition favorable to achieving a good water storage capacity.  From a hydrological point of view, it is noteworthy that the river has a constant flow throughout the year, associated with the presence of relatively dense vegetation on its banks and low levels of sedimentation. This fact indicates that the watercourse does not transport large quantities of sediment, thus contributing to the longevity of the reservoir and reducing the need for frequent maintenance interventions.  Regarding accessibility, the site is located less than 5 km from the headquarters of the Administrative Post, with viable access for vehicles, which facilitates the mobilization of resources during the construction phase. According to the classification of Wladimir Köppen, the climate covering the District and the locality in question is of the humid temperate type. With an average annual rainfall of approximately 1,501 mm according to data from the meteorological station of Espungabera and average annual reference evapotranspiration of around 1,170 mm; the rainy season occurs mainly from October to April, with the highest rainfall recorded between December and March. Statement of Requirements for the Zembe Dam Construction Project, February 23, 2026 4. Socioeconomic Impacts The section chosen for the dam's construction is located upstream from communities and agricultural production areas, enabling gravity-fed water supply. The construction of this infrastructure will boost agricultural activity, with a special focus on vegetable production, as well as contribute to meeting the domestic water needs of the adjacent population. This component will benefit approximately 1500 people and irrigate about 15 hectares. The main crops grown in the region under rain-fed conditions are maize, sorghum, and beans. Irrigated agriculture is practiced, but on a scale far below its existing potential. 5. The Project The Project consists of the execution of works, comprising the following: i) A dam: this is an infrastructure with a reinforced concrete waterproofing core, with a vertical upstream face, embedded 2.00 meters deep in the natural ground. The downstream face will also be vertical and will be supported by buttresses and steps of mortared stone, embedded on the horizontal slab, which constitutes the dissipation basin, duly treated and prepared for this purpose. The crest will extend for approximately 40.00 meters, with a maximum height of 4.00 meters, where a central rectangular spillway 16.00 meters long and 0.60 meters high will be incorporated. The spillway sill will be at a height of 3.40 meters. ii) A water intake well: this is a structure approximately 4m deep and 2.3m in diameter, as can be seen in the drawings, to be built to allow the extraction of water stored in the reservoir. This structure includes not only the well but also the "kit" consisting of the submersible pump and the solar power system. The solar panels should be placed on top of the elevated tank tower. This will have pipes inside, the bottom one of which will be split to ensure water enters the bottom of the well. The well must be built in a location and at an elevation that allows it to be recharged by percolation of the water stored in the reservoir through the soil. iii) An elevated deposit: this is a metal structure approximately 4m high, to be built to accommodate a 5000l tank on top, allowing the fountain and drinking troughs to be fed by gravity. iv) Two fountains: this refers to a solid block masonry structure designed to provide convenient and safe access to water for people. The project includes the concrete and block masonry structure, plumbing fixtures from the elevated tank, and a 1m diameter drain to keep the area dry. (v) A laundromat: this refers to a metal-framed shed, covered with sheet metal, equipped with six laundry tubs and a clothesline, as shown in the drawings. vi) A drinking fountain: this refers to a rectangular, ground-level tank with two cells, measuring 10m in length and 1.6m in width, to be built to facilitate convenient and safe access to water for livestock. 6.Planned Activities The planned interventions can be summarized in the following points: i. Placement of the construction sign and dam identification sign; ii. Earthmoving (levelling); iii. Construction of the dam's foundation; iv. Construction of the waterproofing wall; v. Construction of the energy dissipation basin slab; vi. Construction of the side walls, which also serve as buttresses at the ends of the spillway. vii. Construction of stepped energy dissipators; viii. Construction of the bottom outlet for controlling discharge flows; ix. Protection of the dam abutments; x. Protection of the recollection channel using a medium-sized stone with a minimum dimension of 30 cm in a 60 cm bed; xi. Cleaning the reservoir area; xii. Perform general finishing work on the dam body; xiii. Construction of the intake well; xiv. Construction of the elevated storage tank; xv. Construction of two fountains; xvi. Laundry construction; xvii. Construction of a drinking fountain. 6.1. Project Identification Plate Before and after the project implementation, construction signs and an identification or awareness sign measuring 1500mm x 1200mm should be installed, respectively, supported by a gantry with two galvanized posts measuring 76mm x 3m, containing the relevant inscriptions to be indicated by the project owner. The sign should be placed within a maximum radius of 150 meters and in a clearly visible location. 6.2 Earthmoving (levelling) In order to ensure the embedment of the dam body, excavation of soil along its axis to the project depth must be carried out using mechanical or manual means. The bed of the excavated section must be properly compacted. In the stilling basin area, the top layer of sand should be removed to a depth of 1m, followed by proper compaction. Soil must be removed to a minimum depth of 1 meter for the construction of the water tower and drinking fountain foundations, followed by proper compaction. In order to construct the well, the ground must be excavated to the depth specified in the project. NB: All uncompensated removed soil from landfills must be transported to a carefully selected disposal site within a 200m radius, to be approved by the inspection authorities. 6.3. Construction of the dam foundation and the stilling basin slab. The dam foundation will consist of a vertical reinforced concrete curtain, approximately 2m deep from one end to the other and 50cm thick in uniform proportion, and a horizontal curtain (simmersion basin slab, made of mortared stone, rubble + mortar in a 1:4 volume ratio) supported on properly compacted ground. The concrete and steel to be used will be B25 and A400 respectively. Due to the aggressive environmental conditions to which the reinforcement will be exposed underground, it must have a 10cm cover. Before the placement and tying of the reinforcing bars, a 10cm thick layer of lean concrete should be applied along the excavation bed. If sound, uncracked rock is found at a depth of less than 2m, it should be requested approval from the inspection authorities for the new depth. 6.4 Construction of the Wall/Waterproofing The waterproofing wall, consisting of a vertical curtain that prevents water from passing through it, with a uniform thickness of 50cm, should be constructed of reinforced concrete, using A400 steel and B25 concrete. This wall must be embedded at the abutments for a minimum length of 2.00 meters. 6.5 Construction of the buttresses In addition to the horizontal slab, the dissipation basin will consist of a cascade formed by steps to be constructed with mortared stone (crushed stone + mortar in a volume ratio of 1:4). 6.6 Energy dissipation steps Energy dissipation will be achieved through steps constructed immediately following the discharge structure. The steps will rest on the horizontal slab already described in section 6.3. 6.7 Protection of the recollection channel In order to avoid erosion of the natural channel immediately downstream of the stilling basin, the recollection channel should be protected with a two-layer bed of medium-sized stone, 30 cm in size, with a total thickness of at least 60 cm, along a length of 15 meters. 6.8 Protection of joints The joints will be protected by placing a layer of stone, covered with mortar in a 1:4 ratio, according to the project details. 6.9 Cleaning the reservoir area During and after construction, the cleaning of the reservoir area should consist of dredging, digging up and removing garbage, debris, vegetation, shrubs and hedges that are deemed to interfere with the construction process. 6.10 General finishing touches on the dam The overall finishing work on the dam will consist of (i) eliminating any cracks and defects, (ii) treating the entire downstream and upstream face with cement paste, and (iii) cleaning the entire perimeter of the dam and its access roads. 6.11 Construction of the intake well This includes the installation of porous concrete rings on a simple B15 concrete footing, in an excavation to be carried out according to the project dimensions, and the installation of a gravel filter and hydraulic and electrical accessory kits as specified in the drawings. 6.12 Construction of the elevated tank This includes the metal tower supported on reinforced concrete footings with A400 steel and B25 concrete, and the installation of the 5000l plastic tank, piping and fittings from the intake. The metal elements will be joined to form a monolithic unit through welded connections. All metal elements must benefit from an anti-corrosive paint finish in a color to be approved by the inspection. The dimensions of the various elements can be seen in the drawings. 6.13 Construction of two fountains This includes the construction of a reinforced concrete ground floor slab using A400 steel and B15 concrete, and masonry walls made of solid blocks to be laid with mortar in a 1:5 volume ratio, and the installation of plumbing fixtures. It should also benefit from a 1:4 volume plaster finish on the exterior and painting with paint in a color to be approved by the inspection. Dimensions and other specifications are found in the drawings. 6.14 Laundry construction This includes the construction of a metal-framed porch, with structural elements made of metal tubing, resting on a reinforced concrete foundation (A400 steel and B25 concrete), a B25 concrete floor, and an IBR sheet roof. It also includes the construction of two metal portals to support the clothesline. 6.15 Construction of a drinking fountain. This includes the construction of a reinforced concrete ground floor slab using A400 steel and B15 concrete, and walls made of solid masonry blocks to be laid with mortar in a 1:5 volume ratio. It should also benefit from a 1:4 volume plaster finish on the exterior and interior, with the interior of the drinking trough to be finished with cement. Dimensions and specifications are found in the drawings. 7. Materials i) Concrete The production of concrete must respect the composition approved by the inspection. The concrete will be manufactured by a concrete mixer, and the placement process must be accompanied by vibration; the inspection will ensure that this task is carried out as required. ii) Mortars The mortars to be used in the work will consist of siliceous sand, normal Portland cement, water and possibly plasticizing or waterproofing additives. The manufacture of the mortars will preferably be done by mechanical means, although manual production on smooth wooden or metal platforms is permitted, in proportion to the project. After manufacturing, mortars should be transported to the application sites using clean, nonabsorbent means of transport that do not cause segregation of the components. When circumstances permit, mortar transport may be carried out by gravity, compressed air, or pumping. iii) Steel The steel for the reinforced concrete will be round bars with the diameters indicated in the project and of class A400NR. The steel must be of homogeneous texture, fine grain, non-brittle, and free from zinc plating, paint, tar, clay, oil, grease, loose rust and excessive scale, cement grout, or other materials that impair its adhesion to the concrete, scrupulously complying with the prescriptions of the Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures Regulation. When this is the case, the reinforcement bars must be vigorously brushed with a wire brush and inspected by the supervisory authority. The tolerance of the reinforcing bars diameters must meet the specifications in standard NP-332, including ribbed steel bars where the tolerance will be measured between the nominal diameter and the effective diameter. The profiles to be used will be made of Fe360 (S235) class steel, as specified in REAE and/or Eurocode 3, and must be supplied with a quality certificate. 8.

Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centred care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too. We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.

The role leads the delivery of MSI’s national family planning and sexual and reproductive health programmes through mobile outreach, public sector strengthening, social marketing, maternity services, and centres, managing for results, promoting innovation, and keeping clients at the heart of everything we do. About You For us, it’s vital that every MSI team member believes in and is committed to our organisational mission, vision and values. This means that we will only accept applications from candidates who are unequivocally pro-choice. Our values act as guiding principles, providing us with a clear direction.

It’s important that our team members truly resonate with our values and demonstrate them consistently, in all that they do. We recruit talented, dynamic individuals with diverse backgrounds who share our mission and are focused on delivering measurable results. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can participate and contribute meaningfully.

Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. 5.3.3.

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 EURO 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is EURO 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%.

Terms of Reference for the Final Evaluation of the EU-Funded Action "Civil Society United Against GBV in Kisii and Nyamira Counties" The goal of International Solidarity Foundation (ISF) 2022–25 development programme was to strengthen the bodily integrity and livelihood resilience of women and girls in Kenya, Somaliland, and Ethiopia. As part of this programme, the EU-funded action "Civil Society United Against GBV in Kisii and Nyamira Counties" has been supporting three projects in Kenya's Kisii and Nyamira counties in 2023-26. Two of the projects have been implemented by ISF's local partners, the Centre for Community Mobilization and Empowerment (CECOME) and Manga Health Education Africa Resource Team (Manga HEART). These projects have focused on the prevention of gender-based violence (GBV), particularly female genital mutilation (FGM) and intimate partner violence (IPV). The third project, Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP), has been implemented by ISF. Through organisational capacity-strengthening training and small grants for local activists and civil society actors, the project has aimed to strengthen grassroots movements working to end GBV and support advocacy for the rights and inclusion of affected communities. Purpose and scope of the evaluation The final evaluation has two main purposes. First, in line with the OECD-DAC evaluation criteria, the evaluation will assess the following: Relevance: Is the intervention addressing the right priorities and needs?

Efficiency: How well are resources being used to achieve results? Impact: What changes has the intervention contributed to? Sustainability: Are the benefits and results likely to continue beyond the project period? Beyond the OECD-DAC criteria, the evaluation seeks to assess the added value of the action and generate evidence and learning to inform future GBV prevention programming by ISF, Manga HEART, and CECOME. This includes understanding how and to what extent the project approaches contributed to change at the community level, identifying factors that supported or constrained behavioral change related to GBV, and assessing how well the interventions responded to the needs, priorities, and lived realities of communities. The evaluation will also examine whether the most relevant stakeholders and community influencers were effectively engaged and how their involvement contributed to project outcomes. Methodology of the evaluation The evaluation should primarily employ qualitative methods to generate an in-depth understanding of project processes, results, and learning. Quantitative monitoring data obtained from ISF should be utilized where available and relevant, particularly to assess trends related to awareness, attitudes, and behavioural change. The methodology should include several complementary methods, for example: Desk review of relevant project documentation Key informant interviews (KIIs) with relevant stakeholders Focus group discussions (FGDs) with project participants, rights holders, community members, and other relevant stakeholders. Ethnographically informed fieldwork and observation Participatory methods to facilitate reflection and analysis by rights holders, community members, and stakeholders. The stakeholders that should be consulted within this consultancy shall include but not be restricted to: ISF programme and project staff Representatives of CECOME and Manga HEART FSTP grantees and representatives of grassroots organizations Project participants including rights holders and duty bearers Representatives of local and county government institutions.

Consultancy to Facilitate the Review and Revision of the Oxfam in Africa (OiA) Strategy 2025 2030

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:35:08 +0000

Oxfam in Africa (OiA) adopted its Strategy 2025 2030 under the vision "An Africa Without Inequality," anchored in Ubuntu. The Strategy provides the overarching strategic direction for Country Offices, the SAF Cluster, the AU Liaison Office, and engagement with African-based Affiliates and other stakeholders. It advances OiA's work on Just Economies, Accountable and Inclusive Governance, Climate Justice, Gender Justice and Humanitarian Action, while aligning with the Oxfam Global Strategic Framework (GSF) 2020 2030, Horizon II and the Confederation's transformation agenda. Since its adoption, both the external operating environment and OiA itself have evolved significantly. Across Africa, protracted conflicts, humanitarian crises, climate shocks, shrinking civic space, widening inequalities, governance challenges and declining development and humanitarian funding have increased the need for greater strategic focus, organizational agility and more effective prioritization of limited resources. Internally, OiA has undergone structural and operational changes to strengthen sustainability, collaboration and organizational effectiveness, generating important implementation experience and lessons after approximately eighteen months of Strategy implementation. At the Confederation level, implementation of the Transformation Design is commencing, while development of the next phase of the Global Strategic Framework (Horizon III) is expected during FY2027 2028. Although both processes will shape Oxfam's future strategic direction, they are not yet sufficiently advanced to guide immediate strategic adjustments within OiA. Accordingly, OiA will undertake a light, focused and evidence-informed strategic recalibration in response to its evolving organizational context and the outcomes of its recent change process. Rather than comprehensively redesigning the Strategy, the review will identify the strategic adjustments needed to strengthen its relevance, focus, feasibility and implementation within OiA's current organizational capacity and resource realities. This recalibration is intended to address OiA's immediate strategic needs while recognizing that a more comprehensive strategic review may be undertaken once the Oxfam Confederation's transformation processes and Horizon III are completed. How to apply See TOR for further details Interested consultants or consulting teams are invited to submit a complete application comprising the technical and financial proposals and all supporting documents specified in Section 12 and clearing addressing criteria in Section 13 of these Terms of Reference. SSC.Consultancy@oxfam.org no later than 5th August 2026, with the subject line: OiA Strategy 2025 The technical and financial proposals should be submitted as separate documents. The financial proposal should clearly indicate the proposed professional fees, level of effort

Recrutement d’un consultant national (Togo) pour l’évaluation finale externe du Programme SSF

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:29:16 +0000

1. Description du programme Le « Programme de promotion des structures sociales visant à mettre en place des structures durables pour des soins de santé inclusifs et à permettre aux groupes socialement marginalisés et économiquement défavorisés de participer au développement social et économique du pays (Togo) » (Programme SSF) est cofinancé par le Ministère fédéral allemand de la Coopération économique et du Développement (BMZ) et par CBM à travers le mécanisme de financement des structures sociales (Social Structure Funding – SSF). Le SSF est une initiative du BMZ visant à financer des programmes de développement à long terme tout en cherchant à influencer les politiques et stratégies de développement au niveau national. Cette initiative contribue au renforcement des structures sociales afin de répondre efficacement aux besoins et aux contraintes des populations vulnérables. À l'instar d'autres organisations allemandes actives au Togo, le Bureau Pays de CBM au Togo a bénéficié de cette opportunité de financement pour contribuer au renforcement des structures sociales locales. Ce soutien vise à améliorer l'accès à des services de soins oculaires de qualité, à promouvoir l'éducation inclusive des enfants présentant une déficience visuelle et à autonomiser les personnes en situation de handicap visuel grâce à la formation professionnelle et à l'accès à l'emploi. Pour cette première phase, le programme est mis en œuvre sous la coordination du Bureau Pays de CBM, en collaboration avec trois organisations partenaires, à savoir le PNSO, la CNT/EPT et la FETAPH, chacune apportant son expertise propre pour promouvoir la santé oculaire, l'éducation inclusive et l'emploi inclusif des personnes présentant une déficience visuelle au Togo. Cette mise en œuvre se déploie aux niveaux macro (national), méso (régional) et micro (communautés, individus), comme suit : Au niveau macro, le programme SSF vise à mener un travail de plaidoyer pour améliorer la perception du public à l'égard des personnes en situation de handicap et à assurer une meilleure prise en compte de leurs besoins et contraintes spécifiques dans les politiques et stratégies transversales. Au niveau méso, le programme SSF vise à améliorer la participation et l'implication des structures régionales et étatiques d'appui, ainsi qu'à renforcer les systèmes d'éducation et de santé inclusifs, en leur fournissant les ressources nécessaires à la mise en œuvre des mesures prévues par l'État au titre de la Stratégie de Santé Oculaire (2019–2023) et du Plan Sectoriel de l'Éducation (2020–2030). Au niveau micro, le programme SSF vise à mettre en place des structures sociales telles que des groupes d'entraide de personnes présentant une déficience visuelle (en particulier les jeunes) et de leurs aidants, des comités de parents/enseignants et d'autres groupes sociaux d'entraide, qui assureront le suivi de la qualité de l'éducation dans les écoles et du fonctionnement des services de conseil et de réadaptation, et qui soutiendront les personnes présentant une déficience (visuelle) et leurs familles à travers des activités génératrices de revenus (AGR) dans le Grand Lomé et la région Maritime. Pour la phase actuelle (2024–2026), le programme SSF est mis en œuvre dans le Grand Lomé et la région Maritime, ciblant 176 750 personnes présentant une déficience visuelle en tant que bénéficiaires finaux, à travers l'atteinte de quatre objectifs spécifiques : Objectif 1 : Des structures de dépistage et de traitement des maladies oculaires sont disponibles dans toutes les préfectures, en particulier dans le Grand Lomé et la région Maritime. Objectif 2 : Les services de réadaptation et les structures d'appui sont accessibles à toutes les personnes présentant une déficience visuelle. Objectif 3 : Les possibilités éducatives pour les personnes en situation de handicap (visuel) sont améliorées dans le Grand Lomé et la région Maritime. Objectif 4 : Les personnes en situation de handicap (visuel) ont un accès sans obstacle à des opportunités adaptées de formation professionnelle et d'emploi. Objectif de l'évaluation et utilisation prévue La présente évaluation finale vise à fournir une appréciation indépendante et fondée sur des données probantes de la performance et des résultats du Programme SSF cofinancé par le Ministère fédéral de la Coopération économique et du Développement (BMZ) et Christian Blind Mission (CBM). L'évaluation examinera la mesure dans laquelle le programme a atteint les objectifs visés et produit des résultats conformes au cadre de projet approuvé et à l'accord contractuel. Plus précisément, l'évaluation devra : Apprécier la pertinence, la cohérence, l'efficacité, l'efficience, l'impact et la durabilité du programme SSF ; Mesurer les progrès accomplis vers les effets (outcomes) et les objectifs ; Examiner, dans la mesure du possible, l'égalité de genre, l'inclusion du handicap, la durabilité environnementale et les droits humains ; Identifier les bonnes pratiques, les innovations, les défis et les leçons apprises ; Formuler des recommandations opérationnelles. Les conclusions de cette évaluation serviront à la redevabilité, à l'apprentissage et à la prise de décision par CBM, le BMZ et les partenaires de mise en œuvre (PNSO, CNT/EPT et FETAPH). Elle fournira une appréciation indépendante de la performance, des résultats et de l'utilisation des ressources du Programme SSF. L'évaluation alimentera les exigences de reddition de comptes aux bailleurs et renforcera la transparence à l'égard des parties prenantes et des bénéficiaires. Elle produira des leçons apprises fondées sur des données probantes, des bonnes pratiques et des recommandations opérationnelles pour améliorer la programmation future. Les résultats orienteront également les ajustements stratégiques des interventions en matière de santé oculaire inclusive, d'éducation et d'inclusion socio-économique des personnes présentant une déficience visuelle au Togo. 2. Champ de l'évaluation L'évaluation couvrira la période de mise en œuvre du programme allant du 1er janvier 2024 au 30 septembre 2026. Elle couvrira également les deux régions d'intervention (le Grand Lomé et la région Maritime). 3. Public cible et apprentissage L'évaluation finale s'adresse à diverses parties prenantes, notamment : Les bailleurs (BMZ, CBM) ; Les organisations partenaires (PNSO, CNT/EPT, FETAPH) ; Les Ministères de la Santé, de l'Éducation, de la Solidarité, du Commerce et de la Jeunesse ; Les conseils municipaux et communes (autorités locales) ; Les districts sanitaires, hôpitaux et directions préfectorales de la santé ; Les écoles, directions régionales de l'éducation, inspections du préscolaire et du primaire, la Direction des Examens, Concours et Certifications (DECC) ; L'Institut des Aveugles de Togoville, le Centre Polyvalent Saint-Augustin de Lomé ; Les Chambres de métiers, centres d'apprentissage ou de formation, autres structures de formation technique ou d'apprentissage. Les résultats de l'évaluation serviront à des fins de redevabilité vis-à-vis des bénéficiaires et des bailleurs de l'intervention, et à tirer des leçons de sa mise en œuvre. Plus précisément, les résultats de l'évaluation permettront à CBM et aux trois (3) organisations partenaires de comprendre l'impact de l'intervention sur les groupes cibles, en particulier les personnes présentant une déficience visuelle dans les deux (2) régions d'intervention, sur la période couverte par l'étude. D'autres parties prenantes de l'intervention, telles que les ministères clés, les autorités locales ou les partenaires techniques et financiers (PTF) actifs dans les mêmes secteurs, pourront aussi utiliser les résultats de l'évaluation pour enrichir leur apprentissage des bonnes pratiques à prendre en compte au bénéfice des personnes présentant une déficience visuelle en matière de soins oculaires, d'éducation inclusive et d'accès à la formation, à des sources de revenus ou à des emplois décents. Pour ce qui est de l'organisation contractante, CBM, les résultats de l'évaluation seront utilisés dans le cadre de la reddition de comptes au BMZ. Les résultats orienteront également sa future collaboration avec les autorités locales en vue d'établir des services de santé oculaire, des services éducatifs et des sources de revenus durables et de qualité, inclusifs et accessibles, pour les groupes cibles au regard des trois (3) axes thématiques. Les résultats permettront en outre à CBM de renforcer sa collaboration avec le BMZ dans la mise en œuvre des programmes bénéficiant du financement SSF. À des fins d'inclusion et d'accessibilité, en particulier pour les personnes présentant une déficience visuelle, l'équipe de consultants chargée de l'évaluation veillera à ce que le rapport soit rédigé dans un langage clair et accessible.

ToR: Consultancy Services for the Development of a Full Proposal under the BMZ Structural Transition Assistance (TDA)

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:02:03 +0000

1. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT 1.1 Introduction Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. (Johanniter International Assistance), in consortium with World Relief and Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP), has been invited by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to submit a full proposal under the BMZ Structural Transition Assistance (TDA) 2026 funding window. The proposed project, entitled Building Adaptive, Shock-Resilient and Inclusive Systems for Populations Affected by the Sudan Crisis in Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia (BASIS), seeks to address the growing humanitarian, development and peacebuilding needs arising from the Sudan crisis through an integrated and multi-country Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus approach. The intervention will support refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and host communities through investments in food security and nutrition, climate-resilient basic services, disaster risk management, protection, social cohesion, local systems strengthening and institutional resilience. The proposed intervention is rooted in BMZ's Structural Transition Assistance (TDA) framework, which seeks to bridge humanitarian response and long-term development by strengthening the capacities of crisis-affected populations, communities and institutions to absorb, adapt and transform in response to recurrent shocks and stresses. The full proposal is expected to further strengthen its resilience framework, localization approach, gender and inclusion strategy, conflict sensitivity analysis, sustainability planning, institutional strengthening components and monitoring systems. To support this process, Johanniter seeks to engage a highly experienced consultant or consulting firm with demonstrated expertise in BMZ proposal development, HDP Nexus programming, resilience frameworks, systems strengthening and consortium-led programme design in fragile and conflict-affected settings. 1.2 Consortium and Organizational Background Johanniter International Assistance Johanniter International Assistance is the humanitarian and development arm of Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V., one of Germany's largest humanitarian organizations. Headquartered in Berlin, Johanniter operates in more than twenty countries worldwide and implements humanitarian, transitional and development programmes in some of the world's most complex and fragile contexts. For over 60 years, Johanniter has worked to improve the lives of vulnerable populations affected by conflict, displacement, disasters, poverty and climate-related shocks. The organization has extensive experience implementing integrated interventions across health, nutrition, WASH, food security and livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, social cohesion, protection, localization and institutional capacity strengthening. Johanniter has maintained a significant operational presence in South Sudan since 2011 and has registered last year for its operations in Ethiopia. Through support from BMZ, the German Federal Foreign Office (AA), Dg-ECHO, UN agencies and other institutional donors, Johanniter has developed substantial expertise in implementing Nexus-oriented programmes that strengthen community resilience while improving access to essential services and enhancing local institutional capacities. World Relief World Relief is an international humanitarian and development organization with more than 80 years of experience supporting vulnerable populations affected by conflict, displacement, poverty and disasters. The organization works globally to strengthen resilience, improve livelihoods, support food systems, promote social cohesion and empower local communities to address the root causes of vulnerability. World Relief has a strong operational presence in Sudan and extensive experience implementing humanitarian, recovery and resilience programmes across Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan. The organization has successfully managed large-scale donor-funded interventions focused on food security and livelihoods, climate-smart agriculture, nutrition, disaster risk reduction, market systems development, natural resource management and community resilience. Through its deep engagement with local civil society organizations and community institutions, World Relief has developed strong contextual understanding and trusted partnerships that enable effective programme delivery in highly complex and insecure environments. Within the BASIS programme, World Relief will provide strategic leadership for implementation in Sudan and contribute substantial technical expertise in food systems strengthening, climate resilience, livelihoods, agricultural development and community-based resilience approaches. Nonviolent Peaceforce Nonviolent Peaceforce is an internationally recognized peacebuilding and protection organization specializing in Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP). For more than 20 years, the organization has worked in some of the world's most fragile and conflict-affected settings to strengthen community-based protection systems, prevent violence and promote peaceful coexistence. The organization has extensive experience supporting local protection structures, early warning and early response systems, community mediation initiatives, conflict prevention mechanisms and social cohesion processes. Its work places particular emphasis on the participation and leadership of women, youth, persons with disabilities and other marginalized groups in peacebuilding and protection efforts. In South Sudan and across the wider region, Nonviolent Peaceforce has built a strong track record in strengthening local protection capacities and supporting communities to address conflict drivers through inclusive and locally owned approaches. Within the BASIS consortium, Nonviolent Peaceforce will lead efforts related to protection mainstreaming, conflict sensitivity, peacebuilding, social cohesion, disability inclusion and the integration of peacebuilding outcomes across all programme sectors. Local Partner Organizations A central pillar of the BASIS programme is its commitment to localization and locally led development. The consortium will work closely with a network of experienced local organizations in Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia that possess deep contextual knowledge, strong community relationships and proven implementation capacities. In Sudan, implementation will be undertaken in partnership with organizations including HOPE, Community Development Foundation (CDF), Sudanese Development Organization (SUDO) and AORD, all of which have extensive experience delivering humanitarian and resilience interventions in conflict-affected areas. In Ethiopia, Johanniter will collaborate with RACIDA, a respected national organization with significant expertise in refugee response, governance, livelihoods and resilience programming. In South Sudan, local implementation will be supported through partnerships with I-WIN, Hasad and Mobile Theatre Team (MTT), organizations that have demonstrated strong capacities in food security, livelihoods, community protection, peacebuilding and social cohesion. 1.3 Regional Context and Rationale The conflict that erupted in Sudan in April 2023 has triggered one of the world's largest displacement and humanitarian crises, with profound consequences for Sudan and neighboring countries. Millions of people have been displaced internally, while millions more have crossed borders into South Sudan, Ethiopia and other countries seeking safety and protection. The crisis continues to evolve against a backdrop of chronic poverty, weak institutions, climate variability, environmental degradation, food insecurity and recurrent conflict, creating a highly complex operating environment that requires integrated and long-term responses. Across Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia, communities are increasingly exposed to multiple and overlapping shocks. Conflict and displacement have disrupted livelihoods, damaged infrastructure and weakened already fragile service delivery systems. At the same time, recurrent droughts, floods and climate-related hazards continue to undermine agricultural production, exacerbate food insecurity and increase competition over scarce natural resources. Economic instability, inflation and market disruptions have further reduced household coping capacities and increased vulnerability among already marginalized populations. Women, children, youth, older persons, persons with disabilities, refugees, returnees and internally displaced populations face heightened protection risks and significant barriers to accessing services and livelihood opportunities. Social tensions between displaced and host populations have increased in many locations, while local authorities and service providers are struggling to respond to rapidly growing demands with limited resources. Despite these challenges, local communities, institutions and civil society organizations continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience and adaptive capacity. Existing community structures, traditional leadership systems, local governments and civil society actors remain critical contributors to service delivery, social cohesion and crisis response. Strengthening these systems and institutions represents a critical opportunity to reduce humanitarian dependency and support long-term recovery and resilience. The BASIS programme has therefore been designed as a regional resilience initiative that seeks to bridge humanitarian assistance, development programming and peacebuilding interventions. Through integrated investments in food systems, nutrition, climate resilience, disaster preparedness, protection, social cohesion and institutional strengthening, the programme aims to support individuals, households, communities and local institutions to better withstand future shocks while advancing sustainable development outcomes. BMZ has specifically requested that the full proposal further strengthen its articulation of resilience pathways, stabilization-adaptation-transformation outcomes, localization strategy, sustainability mechanisms, conflict sensitivity, gender analysis, disability inclusion and monitoring systems. Addressing these requirements will require a highly participatory and technically rigorous proposal development process involving multiple stakeholders across three countries. 2.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON PLAN INTERNATIONAL Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child, but this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination, and it is girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters, and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood, and we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national, and global levels using our reach, experience, and knowledge. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years and are now active in more than 75 countries.

Your Proposal must remain valid and capable of acceptance by IUCN for a period of 90 calendar days following the submission deadline. 4.8. Withdrawals and Changes You may freely withdraw or change your Proposal at any time prior to the submission deadline by written notice to the IUCN Contact. However, in order to reduce the risk of fraud, no changes or withdrawals will be accepted after the submission deadline. 5. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS 5.1. Completeness IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further including the proposal length. 5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. 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. 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. 5.4. 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 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%. IUCN: Request for Proposals Page 6 of 8 Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score. 6.

Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ About the Project The TWENDE Project is a climate resilience initiative designed to reduce the economic and livelihood impacts of climate change-induced droughts on Kenya’s Arid and Semi Aid Lands national economy through restoration, sustainable management and governance of, and strategic investments in rangeland ecosystems. The project is implemented across eleven counties and thirty-nine wards within Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) through a partnership involving the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Accredited Entity, the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA), the State Department for Livestock Development (SDLD), Conservation International (CI) as Executing Entities (EE) and various service providers. The project has an ambition to restore over 500,000 hectares of degraded rangelands ecosystem and to improve resilience and livelihoods of over 600,000 households in the selected 39 wards from 11 ASALS counties. The project recently undertook a comprehensive Data Quality Audit (DQA) and Results Quality Review to assess the quality, reliability, completeness, consistency, validity, precision and integrity of project data and reported results. While the DQA established that significant project investments and interventions have been implemented across the target landscapes, it also identified substantial weaknesses in data quality, reporting systems, evidence management, results verification and outcome documentation. Key findings included: • Incomplete beneficiary databases and weak beneficiary tracking systems. • Inadequate means of verification for reported achievements. • Inconsistencies between reported and verified results. • Risks of duplicate reporting and double counting of beneficiaries and interventions. • Weak documentation of assumptions used in reporting. • Limited evidence supporting cumulative beneficiary and restoration figures. • Weak outcome-level reporting and evidence generation. • Inadequate documentation of economic and livelihood outcomes. • Inconsistent data collection and reporting systems across Executing Entities. • Weak accountability and quality assurance mechanisms. • Limited ability to demonstrate Value for Money (VfM) and project impact. These weaknesses present an opportunity to improve outcome reporting with robust data evidence that fulfils the data quality standards. While significant implementation progress has been achieved across the project landscapes reported in terms of outputs, there remains a need to systematically document evidence of change resulting from project interventions. Beyond improving data quality, the project seeks to generate credible qualitative and quantitative evidence demonstrating contributions to ecosystem restoration, climate resilience, adaptive capacity, sustainable livelihoods and value chain development, governance strengthening and institutional change. This assignment therefore combines implementation of the Data Quality Assessment (DQA) Corrective Action Plan with data mining, outcome documentation, learning and knowledge generation to strengthen accountability, adaptive management, donor reporting and communication of project achievements. To address these gaps and fast-track implementation of the DQA Corrective Action Plan, and given the complexity of the TWENDE program, IUCN seeks to engage a qualified consulting firm with proven dual expertise in: a. Dryland Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, Accountability and Learning, data quality assurance, results verification, data mining, data analytics and economic impact assessment, and; b. Dryland resilience building through livestock production and market system development Purpose of the Assignment The purpose of this consultancy is to provide implementation support to the PMU, EEs and SPs in the refining of the project’s data-to-decision (D2D framework) by strengthening the quality, reliability, completeness, accuracy and credibility of TWENDE project data that have been reported or under reported.
