Contract Tittle: Consultancy Service to Develop a Climate Conflict Early Warning Tool

Issued23rd January 2025

  1. The Conflict Early Warning and Response Mechanism of IGAD is in the process of developing a climate – conflict early warning and predictive tool in selected IGAD climate conflict vulnerable clusters. To this end, CEWARN has received a grant from the Government of Ireland through its Embassy in Addis Ababa towards part of this initiative. CEWARN is therefore desirous to recruit a consultant expert or consultancy firm specialized in developing early warning systems towards this initiative.
  2. The specific objectives of the consultancy shall include;
  • Develop a predictive model and tool to assess conflict risks tied to adverse climate conditions in key cross-border clusters.
  • Enable geospatial visualization of conflict probabilities through a mobile-compatible application with desktop interoperability.
  • Ensure data-driven decision-making by embedding both conflict and environmental data into the model to generate cluster-based forecasts.
  • Support scalability so the tool can accommodate additional regions over time.
  • Should be based on mobile platform application with web/desktop interoperability capabilities.

Scope of work

The consultant will develop the climate-conflict probability calculator with coverage of four pilot regions, representing high-risk sub-ecosystems with cross-border dynamics:

  • Aweil (Sudan-South Sudan).
  • Karamoja South (Uganda-Kenya).
  • Assosa (Sudan-Ethiopia).
  • Mandera (Kenya-Somalia).
  1. The geospatial visualization of conflict probability forecasts will be limited to each respective sub-ecosystem, eliminating the need for full regional maps. The consultant must ensure that the system supports intuitive interaction and location-based visualization. The platform may utilize tools such as Google Earth or other GIS systems that support embedded shapefiles.
  2. The IGAD Conflict Early Warning and Response Mechanism therefore invites qualified consulting firms to express their interest in providing these services.
  3. Eligibility criteria, establishment of the short-list and the selection procedure shall be in accordance with the IGAD Procurement “Rules and Procedures.
  4. The assignment will be carried out over a period of 45 days upon signing the contract.
