INVITATION FOR BIDS TO PROVIDE SHORT TERM CONSULTANCY SERVICES TO SUPPLY IMPROVED POULTRY PARENT STOCK
1.0 Background
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Pathfinder International (PI) in Tanzania are jointly implementing an integrated Program known as Tuungane which addresses Population, Health and Environment (PHE). Agriculture which forms the main livelihood activity on the terrestrial environment has been blamed for the increasing siltation of Lake Tanganyika through unsustainable farming practices.
To reduce the soil sediments that have adverse effect to the lake fisheries productivity, Tuungane program aims at supporting smallholder farmers in the Greater Mahale Ecosystem (GME) in improving their agricultural practices through adoption of conservation agriculture/Climate Smart Agriculture. Tuungane program has been implementing some alternative Income Generating Activities (IGAs) to reduce overdependence on agriculture and fisheries for the community livelihoods. Poultry husbandry is one of the IGAs implemented by the program in 3 villages.
Currently, Tuungane program seeks short term consultancy services from an experienced individual who can source out some improved poultry parent stock from Singida region for small community poultry project in Sibwesa, Katumbi and Ndele villages.
