The tender period will conclude on 3rd January 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 17th February 2020, concluding on 30th September 2020. This opportunity presents an excellent avenue for businesses, particularly those operating in the fields of environmental consultancy, biodiversity, and conservation services.

Interested parties should prepare a technical proposal, showcase relevant experience, and provide a financial proposal to capitalise on this opportunity for growth and collaboration in sustainable development strategies. ## Notice 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.
