This initiative is part of a wider conservation effort spanning 134,000 km², aimed at engaging local communities in the project area. The tender is currently in the active stage, with submissions due by 9 am GMT on 16th December 2019. The service is classified under research and development consultancy services, specifically soliciting expertise in stakeholder representation and natural resource management. The contract period is expected to commence on 13th January 2020 and conclude by 30th April 2020. This consultancy presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on community engagement, environmental consultancy, and social impact assessments. Services that can effectively navigate stakeholder representation, particularly those familiar with rights-based approaches and local community dynamics, will be particularly advantageous. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), and those with expertise in facilitating consultations involving indigenous groups, farmers, and other local stakeholders in Kenya and Tanzania should consider participating in this tender process to enhance their business footprint in the transboundary conservation landscape. ## Notice WWF-Kenya and WWF-Tanzania Country Offices are in the early stages of co-creating an ambitious transboundary conservation programme along the Southern Kenya-Northern Tanzania (SOKNOT) landscape which spans 134,000 km2. The programme which will be undertaken in an integrated landscape approach; seeks to contribute to the two Government's efforts to implement their respective wildlife corridor and dispersal area strategies while ensuring that the livelihoods and well-being of people living within those wildlife areas are enhanced. This consultancy opportunity is to design and lead a stakeholder consultation (and consent) process with local communities who live in, and around, the area marked in red and/or who use the resources in this area. The overall purpose of the consultancy is to design and lead a stakeholder and rights-holder consultation process in and around the designated SOKNOT priority area (outlined in the attached Terms of Reference document), in both Kenya and Tanzania, and that will maximise the opportunities for diverse members of local communities (e.g. indigenous groups, traditional leaders, livestock and crop farmers, small and medium entrepreneurs, women, youth, residents and immigrants of different ethnic groups) to participate in programme development and future implementation with the aim of identifying potential environmental and social safeguard risks, respecting rights to consultation and consent and securing ownership and support of local people and to follow a rights-based approach with them and their trusted and accepted representatives. It is expected that in working to this purpose: (i) potential negative environmental and social impacts and appropriate mitigation measures can be identified and (ii) that staff or partners of WWF Kenya and Tanzania will be equipped to lead similar corresponding consultation processes themselves in the future. For full details of the project scope, required outputs and desired skills that WWF is seeking, please refer to the attached Terms of Reference document.
