CALL FOR CONSULTANT PROPOSAL TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF BASELINES AND TECHNICAL APPROACHES FOR A FRESHWATER FOCUSED INTEGRATED CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS PROGRAMME IN TWO CRITICAL WATERSHEDS (SOKNOT AND RUVUMA LANDSCAPES)
Background
Water is one of the most important resources with great implications for Africa’s development. Africa already faces significant challenges regarding its freshwater resources including frequent droughts and floods; illegal and/or over extraction particularly for agriculture and industry and many more (refers to ToR). This is resulting in degradation of ecosystems. decreased biodiversity, increased human-wildlife and human-human conflict and increased poverty for local communities.
There is an urgent need to ensure that all approaches are “future proof” to the further impacts of climate change, population growth and rapid economic development which Africa will experience. Under the working title of ‘Water for Life: Securing freshwater resources in East Africa for wildlife and people; WWF is developing a programme that seeks to develop and implement locally appropriate, future proof freshwater governance and allocation frameworks that better secure freshwater resources in two focal transboundary freshwater sites in southern Kenya/northern Tanzania and southern Tanzania/northern Mozambique, measurably benefiting key elements of biodiversity and local wellbeing.

(2) Lead on the clarification of quantitative Darwin Extra project design indicators and baselines based on the draft project log frame and intended results.
The Outputs have been classified by project into three themes as(A) Biodiversity Context (B) Policy and governance of water use, systems and management (C) Freshwater quality and quantity.
