Expressions of Interest for Consulting Services to Conduct Mangrove Ecosystem and Management Diagnostic Assessment.
The consultant will undertake comprehensive assessments, including ecological, environmental, and socio-economic diagnoses for each site. This will involve evaluating the current health of mangrove ecosystems, identifying causes of degradation, and recommending restorative actions. Specific tasks include conducting floristic and faunal inventories, mapping habitat integrity, analyzing hydrological and abiotic parameters, and developing topographical models where feasible.
A socio-economic and gender diagnosis will be carried out to assess the communities' interaction with mangrove habitats, map stakeholders, identify income sources, and propose sustainable income-generating activities, ensuring a gender-sensitive approach throughout.
Based on these assessments, the consultant will prepare detailed intervention plans tailored to each site. These plans will include strategies to restore mangroves to a healthy ecological state, promote socio-economic benefits through environmental education and awareness, and ensure sustainable management post-project. Each plan will incorporate community-based restoration initiatives and gender action plans.
Stakeholder engagement will be a critical component, with the consultant tasked with organizing workshops and preparing reports that reflect stakeholder feedback and secure agreements from site managers. The consultant will also produce comprehensive monitoring plans for each site, coupled with training for site management staff to ensure effective implementation of monitoring activities.
Finally, the consultant will submit a detailed final report summarizing all activities, outcomes, and stakeholder agreements, aligning with the project’s overarching objectives.
The estimated budget for this mission is 600,000 euros.
The OECS hereby invites Applicants to show their interest in delivering the Services described above.
