    RFP No. KN004/2022
    Project Overview
    The project is implemented in three landscapes (Sabarwawa, Mid Tana and Chyulu Hills) spanning 11 counties. These target landscapes face a range of challenges including weak capacity for landscape planning, poor access to climate data and analysis, and limited access to markets and financial services. Implementation of the TWENDE project is through three components:

    Component 1: Climate change adapted planning for drought resilience – The component ensures coordinated transboundary rangeland management decisions are strengthened by enhanced climate change analysis and participatory community and county planning. The component contributes to addressing the barriers of weak capabilities and inadequate governance institutions. National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) is the executing entity for this component.
    Component 2: Restoration of rangeland landscapes for ecosystem-based adaptation – The components main output is to ensure prioritized rangeland resources (including water), are brought under restoration, safeguarded and sustainably managed for improved climate change resilience. Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries is the executing entity for this component.
    Component 3: Climate change resilient ecosystem management for investments – Main focus is public, private and community investments in natural resources, addressing barriers related to insufficient investment in rangelands and poor access to markets and financial services. Conservation International is the executing entity for component 3.
    The assignment will be conducted within a period of 5 months (negotiable) between 10th April to 9th September 2022.
