Job Description TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) TO DEVELOP A LONG- TERM SUSTAINABLE FUNDING MECHANISM OF THE LANDSCAPE GOVERNANCE MODEL, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING WOMEN AND MEN UNDER LANDSCAPES AND ENVIRONMENTAL AGILITY ACROSS THE NATION (LEAN) PROJECT
POSITION SUMMARY
The Landscape and Environmental Agility Across the Nation (LEAN) project is a four-year project funded by the European Union’s flagship Global Climate Change Alliance Plus (GCCA+) initiative that aims to conserve biodiversity, build climate resilience, reduce emissions from land-use changes in Savannah, high forest, and transition zones in Ghana; and all, while helping local farmers to improve their livelihoods. In 2020, the project commenced and is being implemented by a consortium of four partners including: the Rainforest Alliance (RA), Tropenbos Ghana (TBG), EcoCare Ghana and World Vision Ghana and working closely with the EU Delegation, private sector, local communities, and core national partners, to catalyze systemic changes across the three-biodiversity significant and economically important landscapes to help translate the sustainability commitments into workable solutions on the ground. The overall objective of the Action is to directly contribute to the national efforts of conserving biodiversity, improving livelihoods of smallholder farmers, increasing climate change resilience, and reducing emissions from land use changes in the savannah, high forest and transition zones of Ghana. The Action strategic emphasis will be achieved through four result areas: The specific objective is to implement Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) models in three priority landscapes through functional and sustainable landscape governance structures, supported by smallholders´ uptake of sustainable agriculture and forest management practices, market incentives and diversified income-generating activities. Using the landscape sustainability measurement framework (Landscale), an evidence-based ILM model will be produced for national and regional scale up. Geographical Location This exercise will be conducted in thirty communities within the Bibiani Anhwiaso-Bekwai municipal areas
Activity Context Rainforest Alliance has established three (3) Landscape Management Boards; community governance structures to complement the activities of regulatory authorities to reduce deforestation. The Landscape Management Board (LMB) is building on the existing CREMA to facilitate and build community governance capacities at the landscape and community level and organize farmers in the corridor of some forest reserves. The LMBs oversee and co-manage the implementation of the project, resolves disputes, and develops and oversees rules and regulations related to natural resource management and community social issues. The LMBs also focuses on increasing wider participation in the project and extending benefits to more communities and farmers. Additionally, the LMB model is a result-based multi-actor governance model through which the government, the private sector, civil society, and local communities can collaborate. The landscape approach also establishes a business case for private-sector investment to generate significant co-benefits. These are expected to comprise representatives of the traditional council and community chiefs, community members, farmers in the supply chain, the private sector, Forestry Commission, District Assembly, COCOBOD and civil society. A preliminary business and financing plan is required to guide the growth and development of the one LMB (Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipal Area). And review and strengthening financial principles of the two existing LMBs is essential to strengthen activities within the landscape. SCOPE OF SERVICE Objective: Develop a long- term sustainable funding mechanism of the landscape governance model, with the participation of key stakeholders, including women and men. Activities:
