Expression of Interest for Development of Project Implementation Manual (Pim). Date Added: March 10, 2026 Deadline: 31/03/2026 Category: Consultancy 1.2 Project Development Objective 1. The development objective of the project is to enhance resilience to climate change and reduced food insecurity through creating opportunities for food production and incomes in Yobe State. This will be done by (i) renovating existing nurseries where tree seedlings would be produced and subsequently used to establish shelterbelts, orchards, and woodlots as well as stabilize sand dunes; (ii) expanding agricultural production area by rehabilitating degraded oasis; (iii) promoting agriculture water management schemes in riverine areas; (iv) developing and deploying carbon sequestration through multiple approaches including trees planting in institutions and implementing regreening methodologies in communities and providing incentives for natural regeneration of trees; (v) establishment of MSME that are not dependent on forest wood; (vi) creating alternative clean cooking energy for both industrial and domestic needs thus generating green jobs at scale and reducing dependency on firewood overtime; and (vii) creating systems to access carbon market. All these would be to improve agricultural production (livestock, crops, and fish) activities, as well as support other non-forest dependent livelihoods. The project is also aimed at building the resilience of local communities against the impacts of climate change, environmental degradation and effects of desertification. Sand dunes have devastated rural livelihoods with rapid encroachment on arable lands and oasis in the State. It will also promote income generation and job creation through supporting the establishment of MSMEs that are not dependent on forest wood. The project will also establish frameworks and guidance to optimise gender, environmental services and climate change benefits such as Payment of Ecosystem Services, and Carbon Credit. 2.
