Request for Proposals (RFP):

Consultancy: Develop a National Forest Landscape Restoration Program and Action Plan for Local Government and Village Land Forest Reserves and Develop at least two 2 Fundable Restoration Proposals for Soliciting Funds from different Sources for Sustainable Management of Local Government Forests in Tanzania.

Various efforts have been made by the Local Government Authorities in protecting local government forests including forests under village governments and wildlife habitats, but still, the Local Government Authorities lack the financial and technical resources to adequately reduce the natural resources depletion rate at these forests. Government budget allocations to the forest sector have for years been minimal. Given the importance of the Local Government Forests and increased community dependence on increasing deforestation and degradation, WWF Tanzania recently supported PO-RALG to organize policy forums for awareness creation on decentralization by devolution, powers, roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders for sustainable management of forest resources in Tanzania. The workshop recommendations identified the need to develop a Local Governments Sustainable Forest Management Program/Strategy for unlocking sustainable financing to support LGA's sustainable forest resources management. It is against this background that PO-RALG in partnership with WWF Tanzania seeks to recruit a consultant to facilitate the development of the National Forest Landscape Restoration Program and at least two (2) fundable restoration proposals for sustainable management of Local Government forests in Tanzania.
