Burkina Faso - Preparation of the Gef-funded Project (Gef Id: 9594) to Be Implemented Across Mauritania and Senegal

Request for Proposals for Preparation of the Gef-funded Project (Gef Id: 9594) to Be Implemented Across Mauritania and Senegal
Object:
• The project documents should incorporate the implementation of the FAO Code of Conduct for
Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) as well as the FAO-Voluntary Guidelines on Small Scale Fisheries
(VGSSF) in their component 2 project design.
• A strong collaboration with the Commission Sous-Régionale des Pêches (CSRP) about any coastal
fisheries intervention in this transboundary context is advised.
• The project design should be prepared to also enable investments into cold-chains and higher value
processing as well as marketing for fisheries products where feasible.
• The project should actively seek for more synergies with other interventions to identify alternative
livelihoods for local fishing communities.
• The project design should be prepared to also enable investments into cold-chains and higher value
processing as well as marketing where feasible. Maybe synergies with decentralized renewable
energy projects could be gained (e.g. BMZ financed Program for sustainable energies 2015.2217.6
implemented by GIZ).
• Ideally more alternative livelihood options for local fisheries villages can be identified than market
gardening and ecotourism. For example a cooperation with vocation training interventions could
provide options (e.g. BMZ financed Being successful in Senegal , 2016.2220.8 implemented by GIZ),
as the project will consolidate existing activities to reduce poverty as well as identify additional
revenue-generating actions by promoting the increase of the added value of fish through improved
artisanal processing.Eligibility Criteria : •Transboundary water management and ecosystem based approaches, notably the Senegal Delta ecosystems;
•Demonstrated experiences and knowledge on protected area management, specifically of Biosphere Reserves;
•Sustainable agriculture (including soil and water conservation techniques) and agroforestry;
•Development of sustainable (environmentally and economically) income-generating activities in the context of conservation projects;
•Participatory project design and stakeholder engagement;
•Socio-economic and gender analysis and knowledge of social and environmental safeguards;
