Project description
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the German Government through KfW as well as the Government of Tanzania finance the Simiyu Climate Resilience Project. The Ministry of Water (MoW) acts as Project Executing Agency (PEA) and is steering and monitoring the Project. The project aims at increasing the climate resilience of rural and urban households in the Simiyu Region by improving water supply, sanitation and agriculture and at improving policies and regulation for cross-sectoral action towards climate adaptation. In order to implement this Project, the support of two consultancies is required to assist the PEA:
- Management Consultant (MC, Lot 1) to the Ministry of Water (MoW) focussing on contract management, monitoring of implementation, capacity development at MoW and establishing holistic inter-sectoral strategies.
- Implementation Consultant (IC, Lot 2) focuses on project implementation including development of concepts, infrastructure, assistance in the operation of implemented investments, community-driven approaches and capacity building.
The Simiyu Climate Resilience Project has the objective to increase the climate resilience of rural and urban households, particularly small-scale farmers and women living in the Simiyu Region, and to improve policies and regulations for cross-sectoral action towards climate change adaptation. The outputs, outcomes and indicators of the project are listed in the updated logical framework. In total, 495,000 people shall directly benefit from the measures (257,000 of them being women), plus 2.5 million indirect beneficiaries (by trigger effects and further projects).
