Position/consultancy:	Request For Proposals for Conservancy Support Development Services
Organisation:	Millennium Challenge Account – Namibia
Details:	The objective of the Conservancy Development Support Services (CDSS) activity is to develop the capacity of 31 communal conservancies to attract investments in ecotourism and capture a greater share of tourism-generated revenue in Namibia. The CDSS is intended to generate increased income and create new employment opportunities for communities within these 31 conservancies, while conserving the natural resources that serve as the foundation for the tourism industry. Based on individual conservancy needs and demands, as assessed through the recently-conducted MCA-N funded Conservancy Needs Assessment (CNA), this Activity will provide a range of technical assistance services and grant funding to 31 target conservancies. Bidders must note that the CDSS will support 29 registered conservancies and two yet to be registered conservancies, namely Narawandu and one conservancy with Hai//Om San communities adjacent to Etosha National Park, which may be constituted as a business trust or equivalent. For the purposes of this TOR, MCA-N will refer to 31 target conservancies, anticipating that the two yet to be registered conservancies mentioned above will be registered in time to benefit from the CDSS. The CDSS will help mitigate existing barriers to tourism enterprise investment on communal land and help to move the 31 conservancies towards financial and technical autonomy. The recently completed CNA has identified critical training, technical assistance and capacity building support needed in the 31 target conservancies that will allow these conservancies to increase their revenue derived from tourism enterprises, achieve financial sustainability, enforce principles of accountability, and ensure sustainable natural resources management and good governance of shared financial and natural resources. The Consultant shall implement the CDSS activity for 46 months. The main tasks of the Consultant implementing the CDSS activity will be to assist the target conservancies to: (1) Build their capacity through training and technical assistance under the main themes of Institutional strengthening, Business and Tourism development, and Natural Resource Management; and (2) Access and successfully utilize financial resources from the MCA Namibia Conservancy Development Grant Fund that will further unlock the tourism potential of these conservancies.
