[opportunities] WWF-Viet Nam: Consultancy

[Thuy Nguyen Thi]

*Tender Notice:* *Consultancy on comparison on the forest protection model
sustainability between ‘community forest management’ model and ‘specialized
forest protection’ model in Dong Giang district, Quang Nam province*

*1.         Background of consultancy assignment/project*

WWF was one of the first International non-government organizations working
in Vietnam. In 1985, WWF began working on a national conservation strategy
and since then has worked closely with the Vietnamese Government on a
diverse range of environmental issues and implemented field activities
across the country. Find out more at http://vietnam.panda.org/

The Central Annamites landscape is a priority for WWF conservation
activities, spanning two provinces of Quang Nam and Thua Thien Hue where
WWF has its field offices and staff in both Tam Ky and Hue cities and has
over 20 years of experience in implementing a number of large-scale
conservation programs in this area.

The Strengthening Civil Society to accelerate conservation effort in the
Central Annamites project funded by Sida through WWF – Viet Namhasstarted
its support since the beginning of 2018 and facilitated the establishment
of Community forest management (CFM) model in some areas with natural
forest being contracted with communities for protection in Song Kon and A
Ting communes, Dong Giang district where there is a vast complex of natural
forests being planned for protection and special use purposes.

However, due to some limitation and inadequacy in the current policy of
social forestry models (forest allocation to community together with
land-use certificates, forest protection contract) that have resulted in
limited efficiency of some CFM models. This may lead to the reluctance of
provincial policy-making agencies in promoting and investing in the CFM
model in the coming time in Quang Nam. Beside CFM, there were some
specialized forest protection models established in Dong Giang district in
early 2020. The models gained some certain initial achievements in forest
protection and management.

Given this context and upon the request of FPD/DARD Quang Nam, the Sida
funded project is seeking a qualified consultant (team) to conduct an
integrated assessment on the efficiency and effectiveness of CFM model
regarding social- economic and environmental aspects from some selected
project CFM models in A Ting and Song Kon communes. This assessment will be
carried out in relative comparison with some ‘specialized forest protection
team’ models that are rolling out in Dong Giang district of Quang Nam
province. The outcomes of this assessment will be considered as a
scientific ‘reference source’ for Quang Nam FPD/DARD and PPC to orientate
their future policy on the development of the CFM model in Quang Nam
province.

*2. Aim of consultancy*

Assessment is conducted to show the overview of socio-economic and
environmental impacts of CFM model supported by the project in relative
comparison with some ‘specialized forest protection team’ models in Dong
Giang district of Quang Nam province.

*3. Requirements*

·       MSc degree with 10 years of experience in forestry, natural
resource management (NRM) with Agroforestry or relevant
qualifications/experience;
