81321664-Annual Impact Surveys of target groups
The contractor will design and implement a multi-annual mixed-methods survey and qualitative research for the ILiPS and CDRD projects in South Sudan. The services include the development, adaptation and translation of questionnaires for household surveys, including a dedicated module on women of reproductive age. The questionnaires must follow a layered design with "must-have" questions for donor reporting and project steering, "should-have" questions to ensure context-specific adaptation of core themes, and "nice-to-have" questions that can be added according to regional or cohort-specific needs. All tools are to be translated into relevant local languages and pre-tested in the field to ensure clarity and feasibility, and must be designed in a conflict-sensitive and culturally appropriate manner. Sampling must ensure representativeness at state and cohort level with a margin of error of eight percent for both state-level and displacement-strata estimates. Each beneficiary sample shall be matched by a control group of non-beneficiaries in neighbouring Payams, representing half the sample size. The contractor will apply stratified random sampling and use a digital data collection tool, preferably Survey Solutions on GIZ servers, in order to guarantee secure and efficient handling of data. Comprehensive training of enumerators, field supervision and quality assurance measures are required throughout. The contractor will carry out household surveys for each cohort at the relevant survey stage. For ILiPS, this includes midline data collection in two states in 2026. For CDRD, this includes midterm and endline data collection for the 2024 and 2025 cohorts, as well as a final endline across all states in 2028. The surveys will gather information on sustainable food production capacity, income-generating activities and diversification, household consumption patterns and nutrition, as well as the adoption of sustainable farming practices following project-supported trainings. The mixed-method approach further includes qualitative research through Focus Group Discussions and Key Informant Interviews. These serve to provide deeper insights into community perceptions of project interventions, barriers to adoption of sustainable practices, and the roles of women and youth in income generation. The qualitative findings complement the quantitative survey data by explaining why certain changes occur, identifying structural and cultural factors influencing livelihoods, and highlighting lessons for future interventions. All collected data must be cleaned, validated and analysed. The contractor is responsible for preparing analytical reports for each round of data collection, integrating both quantitative and qualitative findings. Reports shall include descriptive results, trend analyses, and clear recommendations for project management and donor decision-making. The contractor must ensure ethical data handling, compliance with the "do no harm" principle, and avoidance of structural bias. Dissemination of findings to the partner system and local stakeholders is an integral part of the assignment, ensuring that results are accessible and contribute to learning beyond project boundaries. Finally, the contractor must establish a robust operational and security plan for data collection in the fragile context of South Sudan. This includes clear timelines, staffing, coordination with GIZ and implementing partners, risk assessments, contingency planning and adherence to humanitarian security protocols. The assignment therefore requires an experienced research organisation with proven expertise in large-scale data collection in fragile contexts, strong methodological capacities, effective field presence and security systems, and experience in agricultural and food security surveys. The contractor must ensure high-quality delivery across all phases of implementation, while maintaining conflict sensitivity, context appropriateness and methodological rigour. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

GIZ is seeking to contract an international service provider to deliver "Technical support for bio-diversity conservation and the well-being of populations in Côte d'Ivoire". The contracting party will be in charge of achieving the following four major outputs : The service provider will be responsible for implementing output 1 in the Bossématié region. To improve regional planning and management of natural resources, it will support the establishment of a multi-stakeholder platform and provide technical assistance. To ensure the sustainability of the action, the platform will be managed by a local decentralized authority such as the Indénié-Djuablin region. The contracting party will also provide support for the Regional Council of Indénié-Djuablin in natural resource management planning. To achieve this, structuring activities, such as the participative preparation of a land-use plan (spatial plan with land use, monitoring of forest cover etc.), the operational development planning (aka "green planning") and the implementation of a geoportal, at regional and/or departmental level, will be focused. On a local level, the service provider will assist communities and local authorities in the process of implementing local agreements in areas bordering the Bossématié nature reserve. Local agreements will be a key element in the sustainable management of natural resources and the protection of biodiversity. Once they have been negotiated, action plans will be drawn up, which will provide a framework for all measures implemented with the support of the project, particularly in the areas of agriculture, biodiversity and reforestation. Regarding output 2 "Management of protected areas", the service provider will strengthen capacities of the conservation authority OIPR to improve their biomonitoring and surveillance systems, climate change adaptation, complaints management procedures and management of marine protected areas. Furthermore, local authorities, public institutions and private individuals will be supported in their efforts to preserve forests or Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECM). This includes the creation of voluntary nature reserves and ecological corridors between protected areas and other natural or semi-natural areas. While the activities in favour of the reinforcement of ecological connectivity are limited to the Bossématié region, assistance to OIPR will be provided in all project regions. The service provider will also implement output 3 "Agroecological innovations and agroforestry" in the Bossématié region. In order to establish agroecological production systems, it will first provide technical support to local communities in identifying and developing agroecological production sites. Thereafter, the service provider will design and implement an extensive program of awareness-raising and technical and organizational capacity-building to launch agroeco-logical production in these selected sites and to promote agroecological processing. Emphasis will be placed on the interests of women and women's cooperatives. The contracting party will also support the development of agroforestry in rural communities in the Bossématié area. By responding to the need for reforestation, agroforestry rehabilitation of riverbanks, income diversification, improved soil fertility and zero deforestation cocoa farming, this package will build the technical capacity of farmers and local service providers in terms of agroforestry innovations. Contributing to output 4, the service provider will strengthen the capacities of regional and national actors in terms of biodiversity protection. In collaboration with relevant state entities, it will provide specialised expertise to communities and forest or reserve managers to help them leverage biodiversity and climate finance mechanisms such as payments for ecosystem services (PES), carbon markets or the Green Climate Fund. To do so, the feasibility of PES projets is evaluated and technical guidance is provided to project owners throughout all stages of project development, up to the finalisation of financing agreements. Furthermore, the service provider will assist relevant state institutions to implement and monitor the NDCs in the AFOLU sector and to further operationnalize the existing agroforestry MRV system, including the dissemination of emission reduction results on the dedicated platform. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
