Consultancy Opportunity: Strategy Development for the Greater Virunga Landscape

Tender description

The Greater Virunga Landscape (GVL) is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Given its high biodiversity value, the GVL is one of WWF's five priority landscapes in Africa. WWF is now making an overt commitment to facilitate bottom-up development of a transboundary landscape GVL initiative that will embrace integrated landscape level approaches and learning so that it adds value to the existing breadth of work that is happening. The purpose of this consultancy is to provide long-term capacity to support the development of a coalition-owned and locally-owned GVL strategy that embraces people-centred, transboundary landscape, and sustainable approaches. The specific objectives of this consultancy and the expected deliverables are detailed in the attached Terms of Reference. Contracting arrangements will be with WWF-UK but the appointed consultant will be guided by the GVL working group. Those wishing to be considered for this consultancy should submit: a technical proposal, demonstrating understanding and interpretation of the ToR and providing an indication of the travel that is anticipated in order to execute this consultancy; evidence of past relevant experience, including any testimonials from such work; and financial proposal by email to Cath Lawson (clawson@wwf.org.uk) by 3rd January 2020.
