WWF For a living planet
Call for Expressions of Interest (Eol) Gender Analysis Expert
WWF Tanzania Country Office is a Non-Government Organization dealing with environmental protection in Tanzania since 1990 and it has supported the Government of Tanzania in implementing various projects on Marine, Forest, Fresh Water, Energy and Wildlife. WWF global mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by promoting inclusive economic development, including gender equality.
The Government of URT, with support from WWF Tanzania, has been spearheading the development of an Integrated Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration program targeting Tanzania’s national allocation under the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The central objective of this project is to ensure the sustainable management of natural resources in several priority production landscapes in Tanzania through integrated land and water management and sustainable and inclusive value chains for a catalyzed landscape economy and improved livelihood. The landscapes targeted in this regard are the Kilombero district within the Kilombero sub-basin on mainland Tanzania, and the North A/North B districts on Zanzibar (hereafter referred to as Unguja landscape).
The key problem to be addressed by the project is the degradation of rich forest lands and wetlands and the related loss in forest health and biodiversity, which has detrimental effects on the delivery of ecosystem services (including carbon sequestration) and related livelihood and economic opportunities. Barriers the project will respond to include: 1) weaknesses in land and water use planning and management; 2) absence of a framework for encouraging sustainable investments and value chains; and 3) absence of a conducive legal, policy and institutional framework to guide sustainable land and water management.
During the implementation of this project, gender mainstreaming is paramount important to ensure inclusive delivery of the planned activities. Therefore, a Gender and Social inclusion Strategy will be developed during the project design phase.
To support this process, WWF Tanzania is requesting the services of an expert, specialized in Gender analysis, to work in close cooperation with the Project design team and the Lead Consultant to provide support on gender analysis during the development and documentation process of this project. Under the guidance of the Lead Consultant, the gender expert will contribute to the project design in support of Government priorities (policies, legislation, guidelines, etc) and in accordance with WP and GEF standards. All registered, eligible and reputable, firms, institutions and individuals are advised to submit both technical and financial proposals for this assignment.
