Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Experts to Conduct the Review of National Fisheries Resources Co-Management Guidelines via Stakeholders.

The Nature Conservancy-s (TNC) mission is to protect the lands and waters upon which all life depends. In Tanzania, TUC is working with different stakeholders to achieve community development through sustainable and equal fisheries resources management.

The fisheries resources management in Tanzania has been entirely operated and implemented by the government for many years until in the late 1990s where Ca- management began in Tanzania under the Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project (LVEMP) whereby community collaborate with the Government in managing fisheries resources through formation of a committee of fishers from each landing site, named Beach Management Units (BMUs) around the Mwanza Gulf.

Despite the establishment of 191405 several years ago and as co-management partners to assist the government to combat illegal fishing practices which threat sustainability of fisheries resources there are still unsettled matters which are not documented in the co-management guideline which tend to weaken the sector including but not limited to the following:

Unclear alignment and flow of implementation of fisheries management between the two ministries (Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries (MLF) and Presidents Office, Regional Administration and Local Government Tanzania (PO-RALG)).
Unclear reporting system from the field point of view between officers from ministry of Livestock and Fisheries and PO-RALG
Unclear roles, leadership, and limits of the MLF and PO-RALG fisheries officers on fisheries resources management.
Unclear guidance on BMU/CCC support in prosecution of illegal fishers to court of justice.
Unclear guidance on distribution of percentage of revenues collected by BMUs to their respective Districts.
Unclear guidance on the role of BMU/CCC in protection, conservation of ornamental fish and how BMU/CCC benefit from their conservation.
Unclear on how BMU/CCC benefit from ornamental and other fish they conserve and protect.
It is in this context that TNC is seeking a competent vendor to team up with the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries and PO-RALG experts to conduct the review of national fisheries resources co-management guidelines via stakeholders- engagement in four zones (Lake Tanganyika zone, Lake Victoria Zone, Lake Nyasa Zone, and Marine Water Zone).
