Assessment in Flood Inundation and Possible NbS Solution Identification in Working Palikas of RAIN Project

Local Initiatives for Biodiversity, Research and Development (LI-BIRD) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization established in October 1995 with its Head Office in Pokhara and Programme Coordination Office in Lalitpur. LI-BIRD is committed to capitalizing on local resources, innovations and institutions for the sustainable management of natural resources and building resilience to climate change for improving the livelihoods of target beneficiaries that includes smallholder farmers particularly women in Nepal.

LI-BIRD, with technical support from DCA, and PIN as a lead organization, is implementing a project entitled “RAIN-Resilience, Adaptation and Inclusion in Nepal”, in Madesh and Lumbini Provinces with the financial support of FCDO/BEK.

Under the RAIN project, LI-BIRD has planned to carry out the implementation of nature-based solutions based on the available resources and potentiality. The nature-based solutions work need to be implemented to reduce the vulnerability of the community and also sustainably seek solutions from nature. Before carrying out the nature-based solutions, we need to determine that the solutions will increase the resilience of the community rather than keep them more vulnerable.

Thus, LI-BIRD invites sealed proposals from qualified consultants or consultancy firms to accomplish the aforementioned tasks.
