This opportunity closed on 21 August 2024.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is seeking a delivery partner (single organisation or consortium) to develop community conservation intervention models in 2 landscapes in Uganda. These will be tested through field-level research.

The delivery partner will synthesise existing evidence and previously commissioned analysis and, in consultation with the FCDO, identify from a short-list the 2 landscapes for in-depth research.

The supplier will then conduct in-depth secondary and primary data and analysis. This will include an appraisal of the costs and benefits of different approaches, using the UK government’s Green Book as a guide, and a political economy analysis of the specific delivery contexts.

Findings from the research will directly inform development of a major bilateral FCDO programme.

The total budget for the set up and delivery of the service is £120,000.

The inception period is expected to begin in September 2024, with a draft final report due in November 2024.
