Tenders Are Invited For Environmental Protection – 81319783 - Technical Assistance On Resources Mobilisation For Integrated Water Catchment Management And Landscape Protection In Zambia

Environmental Protection – 81319783 - Technical Assistance On Resources Mobilisation For Integrated Water Catchment Management And Landscape Protection In Zambia. The Integrated Water Catchment Management And Landscape Protection (Aware 2.0) Project Is Co-Financed By The European Union (Eu) And The German Federal Ministry For Economic Cooperation And Development (Bmz) And Is Being Implemented By Deutsche Gesellschaft Für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (Giz) Gmbh. Aware 2.0 Forms A Strategic Component Of The Broader Green Partnership And Investment Programme Under The Green Nexus Framework. This Overarching Programme Promotes Sustainable Development And Green Recovery Across Sectors-Agriculture, Forestry, Biodiversity, Water, And Climate-In The Zambian Portion Of The Greater Kavango Zambezi Trans-Frontier Conservation Area (Kaza Tfca). The Geographic Focus Of The Aware 2.0 Project Spans Ecologically Significant Landscapes, Including The Greater Kafue Ecosystem In The Southwest And The Luangwa-Nyika Corridors In Central And Eastern Zambia. Together, These Areas Form A Diverse And Interconnected Landscape Targeted For Integrated And Sustainable Management. The Project Is Aligned With Zambias Policy Commitments On Climate Resilience, Water Governance, And Ecosystem Restoration. Aware 2.0 Aims To Strengthen Integrated Water Catchment Management (Iwcm) And Landscape Protection In Zambia. The Project Works With Key National Counterparts Including The Ministry Of Water Development And Sanitation (Mwds), The Ministry Of Green Economy And Environment (Mgee), And The Water Resources Management Authority (Warma). The Intervention Targets Both National-Level Institutions And Sub-National Actors, With A Particular Focus On The Lower Kafue Sub-Catchment (Lksc). The Project Is Structured Around Four Interlinked Outputs: I. Strengthened Capacities Of Central Government Institutions To Execute Their Mandates Related To Iwcm, Landscape Protection, And Climate Adaptation. Ii. Improved Institutional And Technical Capacity Of Decentralized Authorities To Plan, Protect, And Sustainably Manage Water Catchments And Ecosystems Within A Changing Climate. Iii. Enhanced Functionality Of Water Governance Structures In Managing Water-Related Disputes In The Lksc. Iv. Scaled-Up Implementation Of On-The-Ground Measures For Water Catchment Management, Ecosystem Restoration, And Climate Adaptation. While Policy Frameworks Exist, Zambia Continues To Face Severe Underfunding In The Areas Of Catchment Management And Landscape Restoration. Several Challenges Impede Resource Mobilization: A Lack Of Robust Economic Valuation Of Nbs And Restoration Benefits, Weak Intersectoral Coordination In Financing, And Limited Private Sector Engagement Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility (Csr) Approaches. To Address These Constraints And Unlock Sustainable Financing, Aware 2.0 Project Will Implement A Strategic Intervention Across Three Interconnected Thematic Areas.
