• Description:
• Tenders are invited for Consultancy - GIS Services for the IPARD Program According to the Technical Approach contained in the Program Description, IPARD Life-of- Program will focus its activities around three key objectives: Objective 1: Organize and convene a Capacity Development Program for Indigenous Peoples- organizations and stakeholders (Institutional Strengthening): This objective seeks to strengthen the capacities of Indigenous Peoples- organizations, primarily through the development of monitoring, leadership, management, organizational, technical, and negotiation skills. Objective 2: Foster an enabling environment for Indigenous Peoples- recognition, effective participation, and joint decision-making in matters affecting them. (Political Incidence, rights, and Inclusion): Creating an enabling social, political, and institutional environment will encourage collaborative decision-making efforts, social coalitions and partnerships, and mobilization of resources to support self-determined Indigenous initiatives. Indigenous Peoples- organizations will more effectively influence policy-making decisions with this enabling environment through an Indigenous Peoples Governance Forum. These organizations will also be able to better engage with governments to promote, develop, and implement agreements and policies that support responsible businesses and investments and protect Indigenous Peoples- rights. Objective 3: Promote Indigenous Peoples' sustainable development based on self-determined economic models (Business Partnerships and Indigenous Economies): Through this objective, the Partnership will create business linkages with the private, public, and civil society sectors, and will also improve the institutional, technical, and financial sustainability of Indigenous Peoples self-determined development strategies. First, it will strengthen Indigenous Peoples- organizations through activities to improve capacities for business development. Second, it will identify improvements and innovations to Indigenous value chain systems and opportunities for private sector engagement. Third, it will promote the development of Indigenous-led economic models for self-reliant and sustainable economic development of Indigenous communities The IPARD Program will be managed by the FSC Indigenous Foundation at the Panama City Headquarters office. IPARD will be led by the Program Director, three Technical Leads, one for each Objective, a Finance and Administrative Manager, a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Lead, and Regional and Country managers for the main countries of influence. Given the size of the operation worldwide, IPARD will need to implement some programmatic activities through strategic partners and consulting firms in each country, by contracting specific portions of the technical scope, to reinforce the work conducted and supervised by Program-s staff. These contracting activities will need to be published and compete openly under the USAID rules and regulations, following also FSC-Indigenous Foundation administrative and acquisition procedures, to ensure the transparency of the processes. For additional information related to IPARD, please consult the Program Technical Description, provided as an annex of this Request for Proposal. b) OBJECTIVES OF THE GIS CONSULTANCY FOR IPARD General Objective: The objective of the consultancy is to develop a comprehensive Geographic Information System -GIS- data collection from all available data sources related to Indigenous Peoples, and initial maps and databases on Indigenous Peoples of the world. Specific Objectives: An updated GIS data collection and database analysis of world countries, with shapefiles and maps from all datasets available and developed for strategic use of the IPARD team for looking at strategy and operations to uncover the story within the data, the connections, the blind-spots and the not-so-obvious patterns.
