Conduct critical control point value chain analysis of two wild-harvested medicinal plant species in Nepal

ANSAB, along with TRAFFIC International, FECOFUN and other partners are implementing a UK Government’s Darwin Initiative project entitled "Scaling conservation of Himalayan plants and fungi through sustainable trade" in the Himalayan region of Nepal. This project aims to improve local livelihoods, elevate traditional knowledge, and strengthen national and regional approaches to sustainable biodiversity-based trade. At the impact level, the project will contribute to the sustainable management of Himalayan wild plants and fungi, with value chains that promote equitable trade, increase value addition, reduce poverty, and conserve species and ecologically fragile landscapes.

ANSAB seeks the services of qualified expert/s, consulting firms, NGOs, research institutions to undertake critical control point value chain analysis for two wild-harvested medicinal plant species from Nepal. The overall objective of this study is to conduct critical control point value chain analysis for two wild-harvested Himalayan medicinal plants jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi) and kutki (Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora) in certified and conventional supply chains.  Specific objectives of the consultancy services are to (i) map certified and conventional value chains of two species to domestic and international markets; (ii) make in-depth analysis of both the supply chains and identify critical control points in both certified and conventional supply chains; (iii) and recommend targeted, practical interventions at identified critical control points in two supply chains

The technical and financial proposals must be submitted as separate documents. Applicants may submit these either (i) as two separate attachments sent via email (jobs@ansab.org.np), or (ii) in two sealed envelopes placed within a single outer envelope, and submit in-person at ANSAB Office, New Baneshwor.
