Abschnitt II: Gegenstand
81269730-Climate-Sensitive Innovations in Land Management (CLM)
With almost 50% of agricultural land eroded and at least 30,000 hectares of fertile land lost every year, land degradation is a major threat to the crop and livestock production in the rural highlands of Ethiopia. Agriculture is rapidly encroaching into marginal lands including lake catchments such as Chamo and Tana lakes to produce food and animal feed.
Reversing land degradation has been a high priority agenda for the Ethiopian government since 2010. The government has developed a strategic investment framework (ESIF) aiming at improving the economic well-being of farmers, pastoralists and forest users by combining practices for large-scale sustainable land management with the potential to restore, maintain and increase the productivity of land resources. The national investment flagship Sustainable Land Management Program (SLMP) is part of the ESIF being implemented in the six highland regional states (Amhara, Benishangul Gumez, Gambella, Oromia, Southern Nations and Nationality Peoples and Tigray). BMZ, through GIZ, has been providing technical and managerial support to the implementing partners at national, regional, woreda and community level. The program has so far reached 3100 community watersheds in the six regions and has restored around 1.5 million ha degraded land, of which 0.9 is arable land.
The "Climate-Sensitive Innovations in Land Management" (CLM) project is a technical cooperation (TC) module of the programme "Sustainable Land Management and Food Security in Ethiopia" within the sectoral focal area of "Sustainable Use of Natural Resources, Agriculture and Food Security" of the German-Ethiopian Development Cooperation. GIZ is commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) with costs of German contribution EURO 18,000,000 to implement the project. The project, within the three years implementation period (July 2021 to June 2024), aims at improving effectiveness of the extension system at federal, regional states and woredas and regional level in planning and implementing sustainable, climate sensitive land management.
The CLM project support measures are organized under three major outputs.
Output 1: Project support measures focus on advises the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) on the development of guidelines for the operationalisation of SLM strategies and policies and offers tailor-made training courses. The guidelines will enable the national and regional state institutions to further develop and implement innovative, climate-sensitive approaches to sustainable land management (SLM), so that they can effectively and efficiently implement the funds provided by various donors, which amount to several hundred million dollars.
Output 2: The measures under this output directly strengthen the capacities of community leaders who act as multipliers in their communities. Furthermore, the measures strengthen the system of Development Agents, who work at the interface between WSUAs and agricultural extension services. Their capacities are promoted through targeted training events on climate-sensitive land management or intersectoral cooperation. To exploit the potential of digitisation for more efficient service provision, the topic of digital literacy is integrated into training measures.
Output 3: The measure under this output focuses on the development of integrated approaches comprising biophysical, social, economic and institutional solutions in addressing lake catchment challenges in lake chamo.
The Ethiopian ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and its structure from federal to community level is the lead executing agency of the project. Implementation of the project will be oversighted by a team of technical and steering committee composed of representatives from different directorates in MoA and development partners.
The contractor under this tender is expected to contribute to Output 3 of the project.

The planned consultancy service is expected to contribute to the achievement of output 3 of the CLM project which aims at developing a scalable model for a climate-sensitive landscape approach in the lake Chamo catchment area in Southern Ethiopia.
The consultancy service and work will focus on shaping a holistic, cross-sectoral landscape approach which is envisioned to enhance the participation of local communities, strengthen their ownership and eventually increase their measurable benefits from land rehabilitation. As an overarching objective, the consultant"s services should contribute to improving rural communities" livelihood opportunities and enhance overall sustainability of productive natural resource management (NRM) activities.
The consulting firm is expected to deliver targeted training services to the extension workers and community leaders on selected topics related to participatory land use and watershed development planning (PLUP). Critical support is to be provided to a total of 70 communities in their efforts to prepare and submit their participatory land use and watershed (WS) development plans. Furthermore, the contractor is tasked with advising at least 10 communities in adapting innovative approaches to protecting lake Chamo"s catchment areas.
To this effect, the contractor is required to deploy experienced technical experts in areas ranging from sustainable farming, NRM, and PLUP, to agricultural value chain development and organisational development as well as social and gender studies. Stationed in Arba Minch, frequent travel to the intervention areas is expected of the expert to properly guide community-based extension workers and authorities in successfully preparing said participatory resource use, management and development plans.
Details of the required work and service from the planned consultancy under this contract are described below:

Furthermore, the consultant is tasked with supporting the development of an innovative incentive system to ensure the participation of the concerned local communities as well as advising on the quality and feasibility (e.g. means of enforcement) of related community agreements. This is to be summarized in a validated 10-year perspective concept paper and a 3-year implementation road map, taking into account a viable exit strategy from the very inception of the project.
Moreover, the updating of the output monitoring and evaluation system in line with GIZ requirements are among the mandatory services to be rendered by the consultant.

Furthermore, the consultant is expected to provide guidance and technical assistance in creating market linkages for selected value chains that create new livelihood opportunities while also respecting the catchment area"s environmental needs for climate change sensitivity.
As part of the on the job training, the consultant is also expected tol support the SLM implementing partners at zone and district level during the documentation and analysis of biophysical as well as socio-economic conditions in the intervention areas.
Cooperation and knowledge management
Services under this work package comprise the establishment of functional, multi-stakeholder coordination platform on local, zonal and catchment area level. This platform is to be composed of representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture, the EFCCC and other relevant institutions that cover both the public and private sector. Under the guidance of GIZ, the consultant is thus expected to support the cross-sectoral coordination between the various development partners, steering project activities with regional, zonal and woreda administrations and engage relevant members of these institutions throughout the project cycle as deemed necessary.
