The tender falls under the 'Foreign economic-aid-related services' industry category. It involves a contract value of £31.5 million and will focus on business and market development in the Congo Basin. The EME event is scheduled virtually for October 31st, 10:00 - 11:30 GMT, aiming to engage potential delivery partners for the programme. This tender by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office presents an opportunity for businesses involved in sustainable forest management and economic development in forest landscapes. Companies experienced in foreign economic-aid-related services, particularly those with expertise in the Congo Basin region, may find this tender well-suited for their capabilities. The planned tender aims to mobilize private investment for sustainable agriculture, forest protection, and restoration across 4.5 million hectares of land, benefitting smallholder farmers and rural communities. ## Notice IFLSU1 worked with the private sector to develop and implement new approaches to business which balance commodity production, livelihoods and forest protection and mobilise investment in protection and sustainable use of forest resources. Results include over PS1bn in private investment mobilised into sustainable agriculture, forest protection and restoration. This has improved management across 4.5m hectares of land, benefiting over 250,000 people, mainly smallholder farmers and rural communities. IFLSU2 will be delivered through five linked components: * Component 1 - Business incubation, pipeline development, business enabling conditions and demand-side measures. Interventions oriented towards catalysing forest-friendly enterprises in forest landscapes in East Africa, West and Central Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia. * Component 2 - Enhanced support for smallholder farmers. Interventions oriented towards reaching smallholders at scale in order to support their transition to sustainable production in ways that deliver strong developmental and social outcomes. * Component 3 - Business and market development in the Congo Basin. Interventions oriented towards building the fundamental enabling conditions, capabilities, and structures to enable business-led sustainable production in Congo Basin countries. * Component 4 - Policy support to catalyse transformational change and action at scale. Interventions oriented towards building political momentum, action, collaboration, demand shifts and policy change through global and regional level collaboration. * Component 5 - Monitoring, evaluation, learning (MEL) and knowledge: Independent monitoring and evaluation to support programme-wide learning, inform management decisions, programme strategy and delivery and strengthen evidence.
