CONSULTANT (Individu / Company)
FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT FOR FOREST-POSITIVE LIVELIHOOD DEVELOPMENT IN SORONG SELATAN.
(Code: Forest-positive Livelihood)
1. Background
Sorong Selatan in Papua Barat Daya province is home to large extend of critical forest ecosystems. These forests provide critical ecosystem services, and its sustainability is important not only for wildlife, but also global climate stability and the prosperity of the nature-dependant local communities.
Sorong Selatan's lowland swamp forest, for example, is rich in sago grooves, a main source of staple for local indigenous communities. It is a key vegetation type that is also habitat for important game animals for meat, such as introduced wild pig and deer. In the production forest area fruits trees are abundant, while in some specific parts that once was the Dutch's Boswezen area, resin-producing trees still thrive. Another example is also its rich estuaries, where local communities depend for small-scale fisheries, both for household consumption and livelihood.
Government, communities and partners, have begun product and market development for some of these non-timber forest products (NTFP) e,g, damar and cinnamon. Taking advantage on the beauty of the forest landscape, ecotourism has also been initiated in some villages. In short, Sorong Selatan's forest and its associated ecosystem has great potential to be sustainably developed for added economic benefit, that can improve communities' prosperity, and either directly support forest management, or indirectly give positive impacts by reducing threats to forest.
2. Project Overview
The Goal of this consultancy is to comprehensively assess opportunities for forest-associated livelihood development in Sorong Selatan and build business development strategy and plan for each of the prioritized livelihood potentials, to help ensure effectiveness of KI's project intervention for the next 5 years and sustainability into the future. The tasks for this consultancy are as follow.
1. By referring to existing literatures and data, discussion with communities, and KI and relevant government stakeholders, write Livelihood Opportunity Brief for non-timber forest products, forest ecosystem services (e.g. ecotourism), and any other related commodities (such as from estuarian fisheries) that have the potential, if sustainably developed will contribute to forest conservation in Sorong Selatan. The brief should incorporate at least current production capacity and market, existing projects or initiatives addressing the specific livelihood in the region, ecological feasibility, existing supporting infrastructure, economic and environmental sustainability, structure of the chain, risk, and how the said livelihood has worked in other landscape.
2. Conduct livelihood prioritization analysis by assessing list in the brief using weighted criteria to be developed by consultant, involving aspects such as (but not limited to) environmental sustainability, biophysical suitability, potential number of impacted households, infrastructure needs, potentials for value-added, and scalability.
3. Develop detailed business plan and operations model, inclusive of financing schemes, for the top 5 livelihood options identified during the prioritisation process. Business models should incorporate value propositions, activities, customer segments and relationship, channels, resources, partners, cost structure, social and environmental cost, and social and environmental benefit. The business plan should define step by step process for developing the priority livelihood options. This can employ any version of Business Model Canvas (BMC) framework that is considered suitable.
