Public Notice: 1- Hiring a Consultancy Services for Preparation of Water Resource Management Plans and Crop Diversification Plans. (Re-Publication of Notice)

Attention: All Interested consultancy firms. 

The Women in Climate Resilient Agri-Systems for Enhanced Nutrition Security (WE-CAN) Project is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Welthungerhilfe (WHH), and jointly implemented by Working for Access and Creation (WAC) Nepal, PeaceWin Nepal and SAMBIKAS Nepal in close coordination with Sanphebagar Municipality and Chaurpati Rural Municipality of Achham District, Sudurpashchim Province, Nepal.

The project aims to strengthen climate-resilient agriculture systems, improve food and nutrition security, promote sustainable natural resource management and enhance the capacity of local governments and communities to respond to the impacts of climate change. The project gives particular attention to women, smallholder farmers and vulnerable households whose livelihoods depend on rain-fed agriculture, local water sources and natural resources.

The project area is increasingly affected by erratic rainfall, prolonged dry spells, declining water sources, drought, land degradation, climate-induced hazards and reduced agricultural productivity. These challenges have weakened irrigation reliability, increased pressure on water sources and limited the capacity of farming households to adopt diversified and climate-resilient agricultural practices.

Local governments have a central role in addressing these challenges through evidence-based planning, sustainable water resource management, climate-resilient agriculture and strategic investment in municipal development priorities. To support this process, the WE-CAN Project intends to engage a qualified consulting firm or consultant team to prepare Water Resource Management Plans and Crop Diversification Plans for both local governments.
