EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI)
DESCRIPTION CONSULTANCY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND CONTEXTUALISATION OF A REGREENING AND LAND RESTORATION PRACTICES ATLAS FOR ARID AND SEMI-ARID AREAS IN SOMALILAND AND SOMALIA
TENDER NO. WVSOM/16/FY26
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 ORGANISATIONAL BACKGROUND
World Vision International is a humanitarian and development organization committed to improving the well-being of vulnerable children, families, and communities. In Somaliland and Somalia, World Vision has been at the forefront of implementing integrated resilience programmes that address climate change, environmental degradation, and livelihood vulnerabilities, particularly among pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities.
Through its long-standing presence, World Vision has supported interventions in natural resource management, climate-smart agriculture, water resource management, and livelihood diversification. These interventions have increasingly focused on strengthening community resilience in fragile dryland ecosystems that are highly susceptible to climate variability.
1.2 REGREENING AFRICA 2 PROJECT
The Regreening Africa 2 Project builds on previous successes in promoting sustainable land restoration and ecosystem rehabilitation across dryland regions. The project aims to scale up regreening practices that restore degraded landscapes, improve soil fertility, enhance biodiversity, and strengthen livelihoods.
In Somaliland and Somalia, the project targets arid and semi-arid lands where recurrent droughts, erratic rainfall, and unsustainable land use practices have resulted in widespread land degradation. Communities in these areas depend heavily on livestock and small-scale agriculture, making them highly vulnerable to environmental shocks.
The project promotes practical, community-driven restoration approaches such as farmer-managed natural regeneration, soil and water conservation, agroforestry, and rangeland management. However, the uptake of these practices remains constrained by limited access to effective knowledge-dissemination tools, particularly in communities with low literacy levels.
