81268682 - Water management and capacity building
In the past 30 years, Afghanistan has been experiencing civil war and violent conflicts which have led to an increased vulnerability of the rural and urban population. More than 55% of Afghanistan"s people live in extreme poverty, more than 10 million people suffer from natural disasters and over 3.5 million suffer from food insecurity, making Afghanistan the country with the second highest fatality rate related to disasters worldwide. In 2018 alone, more than 4 million people were affected by disasters, especially because 2018 was a drought prone year that led to a major livelihood crisis by limiting food production and depleting farmers" and livestock keepers" assets and livelihoods. Weather experts predict an extremely dry year for 2021, too.
The project provides structural support to the rural population in strengthening their resilience to recurring dry periods and landslides and makes a contribution to reducing poverty. The project starts with the construction of water storages and the sustainable management (structural and economic) and smaller rural infrastructure measures to directly improve the livelihood of the population.
The focus of the implementation is on the sub-national government and administrative levels in order to ensure sustainability and to strengthen the trust of the local population in the functionality of government structures. Through advice, small structural infrastructure measures and capacity development, the project helps to reduce the effects of climate change by increasing the adaptive capacity and resilience of the population.
The contractor is responsible for implementing the followingoutputs:
Output 1: Access to and capacities for the management of water reservoirs in selected districts of Badakhshan province have been improved.
In the context of Output 1, the access to and capacities for the management of water storages in the intervention area will be improved. For this purpose, local structures will be enabled to assess the needs of the population for water supply in the project communities. Building on the results of the needs assessment and in close cooperation with the local administrative structures, construction measures for the water infrastructure are planned. Local craftsmen (carpenters, plumbers and masons) are enabled to build and renovate cisterns through introductory training and on-the-job qualification for special challenges in cistern construction in the earthquake area.
Output 2: The basic village infrastructure and capacities to protect particularly vulnerable communities against natural disasters have been improved.
Output 2 aims at improving basic village infrastructure and capacities to protect particularly vulnerable communities against natural disasters. It is based on the recommendations of the risk analyses (Output 3) and adds to the measures of Output 1. The conflict-sensitive implementation of small-scale measures for the rehabilitation or stabilization of basic, rural, social and productive infrastructure in villages particularly at risk from natural disasters includes analyses, advice, provision of building materials and training.
Output 3: The capacity of local DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) authorities is strengthened.
Output 3 is directed towards improving the capacities of the local disaster management authorities. Subnational administrative units are enabled to protect communities threatened by natural disasters through disaster prevention measures, the provincial and district administration as well as the provincial office of the national authorities are supported by advisory services in the preparation of demand-oriented risk analyses for endangered communities in selected districts. The analyses are based on existing risk maps and are supplemented on site by expert analyses of the physical threats from natural events (risk assessment) and the analysis of societal susceptibility (vulnerability assessment).
00000 Afghanistan
In the past 30 years, Afghanistan has been experiencing civil war and violent conflicts which have led to an increased vulnerability of the rural and urban population.
More than 55% of Afghanistan"s people live in extreme poverty, more than 10 million people suffer from natural disasters and over 3.5 million suffer from food insecurity, making Afghanistan the country with the second highest fatality rate related to disasters worldwide. In 2018 alone, more than 4 million people were affected by disasters, especially because 2018 was a drought prone year that led to a major livelihood crisis by limiting food production and depleting farmers" and livestock keepers" assets and livelihoods. Weather experts predict an extremely dry year for 2021, too.
The project provides structural support to the rural population in strengthening their resilience to recurring dry periods and landslides and makes a contribution to reducing poverty. The project starts with the construction of water storages and the sustainable management (structural and economic) and smaller rural infrastructure measures to directly improve the livelihood of the population.
The focus of the implementation is on the sub-national government and administrative levels in order to ensure sustainability and to strengthen the trust of the local population in the functionality of government structures. Through advice, small structural infrastructure measures and capacity development, the project helps to reduce the effects of climate change by increasing the adaptive capacity and resilience of the population.
The contractor is responsible for providing/supporting the following activities:
After being awarded for the assignment the contractor shall proceed with an inception phase. During this time, the contractor is responsible to develop a deeper understanding of the intervention area and the assigned outputs 1-3. The contractor has to familiarize itself with the context of the Province of Badakhshan including local experience and based on that develop a detailed work plan for the tasks to be performed. This inception phase is scheduled to last 3-4 months. It is envisaged that an experienced NGO supports the activities in the target villages. The workplan has to be developed together with this NGO.
Output 1: Access to and capacities for the management of water reservoirs in selected districts of Badakhshan province have been improved.
As a first step, the needs of the population for water supply and the existing water storages in the intervention communities should be analysed. Based on the outcome, the rehabilitation (and construction) of existing but no longer functioning water reservoirs is carried out. Local administrative structures for coordination, management, sustainable economic operation and financing as well as technical maintenance of water infrastructures are trained. The management committees and those responsible for jointly used cisterns receive organizational advice and further trainings.
Output 2: The basic village infrastructure and capacities to protect particularly vulnerable communities against natural disasters have been improved.
For this output, participatory and conflict-sensitive identification of necessary infrastructure measures for disaster protection of selected villages are identified. The implementation of cash-for-work measures for rural access roads, erosion protection, rainwater runoff storage, wildfire protection, etc. supports the local population. Capacity development of farmers and staff of local administrations on rainwater runoff storage, erosion protection, etc. accompanies the measures. The village population and staff of local administrations are advised on disaster-preventive management of agricultural land (especially steep slopes).
Output 3: The capacity of local DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) authorities is strengthened.
Output 3 is directed towards improving the capacities of the local disaster management authorities. Evaluation of analyses on the disaster vulnerability of communities are carried out together with the local authorities. Dialogues between local disaster prevention authorities and residents of the communities are organised. Training of governmental and civil society organizations in disaster risk management in relation to prevention and relief measures (water distribution, etc.) during prolonged dry periods and droughts is carried out. Training and sensitization of employees of local administrations and the population on hygiene rules in the use of drinking water is organised.
GIZ may optionally commission contract amendments and/or increases based on the criteria in the tender documents to the successful bidder of this tender. For details, please see the terms of reference.
