Madam, Sir,

Welthungerhilfe is one of the largest private aid organizations in Germany and has no political nor religious affiliations. It was established in 1962 as the German chapter of the Freedom from Hunger campaign, which was led by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and is one of the first global initiatives in the fight against hunger. From rapid disaster relief to reconstruction and long-term development cooperation projects with local partners, Welthungerhilfe provides assistance from a single source. Since its foundation, WHH has provided 2.25 billion EUR of funding for more than 6,600 projects in 70 countries. Welthungerhilfe has been active in Somaliland since 2001 (Currently operates Awdal, Waqooyi-Galbeed, Togdheer and Sool Regions) and has expanded into South/Central Somalia through the cooperation with local implementing partners. Whilst Welthungerhilfes’ strategic focus is on building resilience and strengthening local humanitarian leadership, our 2023-2024 activities seek to respond to the present drought crisis through humanitarian relief. Welthungerhilfe has active projects in Mudug, Galagudd, Gedo and plans to expand its intervention in Bay and Hiran regions. The core areas of work in South central Somalia include: Humanitarian emergency assistance, Food Security, Resilience programs-agriculture, WASH and infrastructure restoration and rehabilitation.

The project aims to enhance the livelihoods and resilience of 87,744 vulnerable agrarian and pastoralist people through protection and restoration of key natural resources and WASH services in agrarian, pastoral, and agropastoral areas through community-led actions and improved market access for key rural value chains. The project will partly be implemented by local NGOs in Somaliland in close collaboration with relevant local and regional authorities’ other key stakeholders.

Therefore, with funding from BMZ, WHH is seeking potential qualified bidders for the above stated construction and rehabilitation works in four different lots (Lot A, Lot B, Lot C and Lot D), in Burao district. The works will include the following:

• Construction of new berkads and rehabilitation of berkads
