African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) is an international conservation organization formed in 1961. Together with the people of Africa, AWF works to ensure that the wildlife and wild lands of Africa will endure forever. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, AWF has field offices in Tanzania, Uganda, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, and Rwanda) and is registered in the USA, UK, Canada, Switzerland, and South Africa.
In Cameroon, AWF has developed a 10-years strategic plan with a vision statement of; “AWF Cameroon envisions healthy ecosystems and thriving biodiversity that supports human well-being and contributes to Cameroon’s National Development Strategy 2020 – 2030”. Currently, three protected areas and their peripheries are benefiting from the support of AWF: Faro National Park, Dja Faunal Reserve, and Campo-Ma’an National Park (CMNP).
AWF Cameroon has received funding from The Global Environment Facility (GEF) under a project Titled: Integrated Management of Cameroon’s Forest Landscapes in the Congo Basin as an implementer of this project at Campo-Ma’an Landscape. Component 4 under this grant is focused on increasing benefit generation from biodiversity through sustainable tourism development. Under this component, one activity was to provide technical assistance to EBOTOUR to develop a strategy to source basic products to support tourism in Ebodjé and provide equipment and supplies (agricultural inputs, tools, storage, processing equipment) to implement the strategy.
To implement the above activity, AWF is soliciting bids from eligible and qualified consultants. The successful consultant will work closely with AWF’s Campo Ma’an Technical Advisor and the conservation service of the Mayange-na-elombo Campo Marine national park.
