Consultancy: DEVELOPMENT OF ADVOCACY STRATEGY TO INFLUENCE THE GOVERNMENT AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS FOR ADOPTION OF POLICIES AND LEGISLATION THAT RECOGNIZE AND SECURE RIGHTS OF COMMUNITIES IN MANGROVE MANAGEMENT

WWF Tanzania Country Office(WWFTCO)through the RUMAKI Seascape Plus is is currently implementing a project titled “Mangrove Management for Climate Risk Resilience and Improved Livelihoods” funded by the Norwegian NORAD and regionally implemented in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Madagascar. In Tanzania the project is implemented in six (6) villages across three districts namely Kibiti district (Mchungu and Msindaji villages), Mafia district (Jimbo and Kanga villages), and Kilwa district (Somanga and Malendego villages). WWF supported the review of national policy and legal frameworks on mangroves conservation and development of recommendations for promoting community user rights management systems in Tanzania which was carried out in a very recent past. The study identified policy and legislation gaps around mangrove conservation and developed recommendations including on the socio-economic issues of community’s adjacent mangrove areas. An advocacy campaign is required for awareness raising to the wider stakeholders particularly the decision and policy makers to support implementation of the policy study recommendations.

WWF Tanzania is therefore looking for a consultant(s)to develop a Policy Advocacy Strategy by involving extensive stakeholder consultations with government agencies, civil society organizations, community representatives, and other relevant stakeholders. This inclusive approach ensures that the advocacy efforts are informed by diverse perspectives and priorities, increasing the likelihood of their effectiveness and sustainability.
