The Sadar Development and Resilience Institute is seeking consultancy services to assess biodiversity-related impacts as part of the Adaptive Agriculture and Rangeland Rehabilitation (A2R2) project.
This initiative aims to enhance agricultural productivity and restore degraded rangelands across Somalia's arid and semi-arid regions.
The project, funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), focuses on building climate resilience through integrated approaches that include policy reform and natural resource management.
Consultants are invited to submit expressions of interest detailing their qualifications and past performance, with evaluations following the Quality-Based Selection (QBS) method.
The A2R2 Project operates in seven high-priority districts: Belet Weyne, Baydhaba, Dhuusamarreeb, Galkacyo, Cabudwaaq, Kismayo, and Bardere.
It aims to directly benefit approximately 72,000 households through investments in water harvesting, rangeland restoration, and climate-smart agriculture.
The consultancy will assess biodiversity impacts of project interventions, quantify biodiversity intactness, analyze land use changes, identify biodiversity hotspots, and evaluate ecosystem service benefits.
The deadline for submissions is December 7, 2026, at 10:00 AM EAT.
