Community Conservation Programme scoping in Uganda
Closed: the FCDO invited expressions of interest by 21 August 2024 to develop and test community conservation intervention models in Uganda.
This opportunity closed on 21 August 2024.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is seeking a delivery partner (single organisation or consortium) to develop community conservation intervention models in 2 landscapes in Uganda. These will be tested through field-level research.
The delivery partner will synthesise existing evidence and previously commissioned analysis and, in consultation with the FCDO, identify from a short-list the 2 landscapes for in-depth research.
The supplier will then conduct in-depth secondary and primary data and analysis. This will include an appraisal of the costs and benefits of different approaches, using the UK government’s Green Book as a guide, and a political economy analysis of the specific delivery contexts.
Findings from the research will directly inform development of a major bilateral FCDO programme.
The total budget for the set up and delivery of the service is £120,000.
The inception period is expected to begin in September 2024, with a draft final report due in November 2024.
