🌳 #FundingWednesdays | Kenya's State Department for Agriculture is inviting consulting firms to express interest in baseline studies on deforestation, wetlands, riparian ecosystems and groundwater, under the IFAD-funded Integrated Natural Resources Management Programme (INReMP).

🌍 Why it matters: You can't protect what you haven't measured. These baselines will show where forests, wetlands and riverbanks stand today, and create the monitoring system that tracks whether restoration is working.

• 💼 The assignment (120 days):
  🛰️ Map and analyse forest cover, wetlands and riparian zones using geospatial tools
  💧 Assess groundwater potential
  🔍 Verify findings in the field
  🗂️ Build a spatial database for the programme area
  📊 Prepare a Natural Resources Monitoring Framework
• 📋 Strong fit if your firm:
  ✅ Has been legally registered and operating for at least 10 years
  ✅ Has experience in natural resource assessments, GIS and remote sensing, or ecosystem monitoring
  ✅ Holds a valid tax compliance certificate (Kenyan firms from KRA; foreign firms from their home tax authority)
  ✅ Can partner through a joint venture or sub-consultancy if needed

💚 IMVELO Impact: Forests, wetlands and riverbanks are Kenya's natural water towers and flood buffers. Good baseline data is what turns restoration from good intentions into measurable results.

📍 Location: Kenya
⏰ Deadline: 22 October 2026
