Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Support for the Development of the Development Plan for the Lac Télé Community Reserve

To date, three development plans (PA) of the RCLT have been developed:

· A first Development Plan was proposed in 1999 by the IUCN (via funding from PROGECAP/GEF). After presenting a brief environmental and socio-economic analysis of the site and identifying the heritage values ​​and threats of the RCLT, the development plan (PA) defines four management objectives. The zoning plan divides the RCLT into two blocks (north and south) and recognizes three types of zones in each of the blocks:

· Zone of influence, located outside the RCLT and playing the role of peripheral zone;

· Rational use zone, varying from 5 to 10 km in depth from the villages and in which the latter have free access to natural resources subject to compliance with the general legal provisions in force;

· Integral protection zone, purged of all usage rights (with the exception of Lake Télé in which fishing activities for nationals of the village of Boha remain authorized).

This first PA provided for six management programs: surveillance, nature management, ecodevelopment, training, research and development and ecotourism.

In terms of governance, it was planned to set up a Local Conservation Committee which coordinates the activities of the Village Conservation Offices present in target villages.

This plan has not been officially validated.

· A second Development Plan was prepared in 2009 by WCS (funded by the CARPE program). After presenting the unique value of the Reserve, the plan describes the physical, biological and socioeconomic characteristics of the site. It then defines the vision, the desired conditions, the objectives and 11 technical directives which guide management on specific themes (resource management, fire management, fishing, hunting, flora, forestry, infrastructure, scientific research, data management, ground-water-air, tourist activities).

A zoning plan is proposed based on a mapping of village lands carried out in the 24 villages of the reserve [1] . These lands are grouped together in the Agroforestry Zone which covers the entire southern block of the RCLT and a large part of the northern block. In the latter, two areas not covered by village lands stand out: Mohokele (66, 287 ha) and Moudimba (18, 677 ha). It is proposed to consider these two zones as Integral Protection Zones.

The AP implementation plan lists activities to be carried out based on six themes: i) Conservation and protection of ecosystems; ii) Socio-economic activities and ecodevelopment; iii) Awareness-Eco-development-Training; iv) Research & Monitoring; v) Ecotourism and vi) Administrative and financial management.
