This initiative targets the transformation of global food systems to become positive contributors to planetary health, biodiversity, and ecological function. The FOLUR Impact Program, supported by a significant financial commitment from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and co-financing partners, will be implemented across 27 countries with a focus on sustainable integrated landscapes and agricultural commodity value chains. Within this framework, Component 3 of the FOLUR Project in Uzbekistan addresses the "Conservation & Restoration of Natural Habitat." This component aims to enhance conservation and restoration of high nature value ecosystems/habitats within production landscapes, ultimately improving ecosystem services that support agriculture in an equitable and sustainable manner. Objectives of the Assignment: The National Integrated Natural Resources Management Expert will be responsible for providing technical expertise and support to ensure the successful implementation of activities under Component 3 of the FOLUR project. The expert will work closely with project partners, stakeholders, and local communities to enhance natural resources management, restore ecosystems, and promote sustainable livelihoods. Scope of Work: The Expert will be responsible for the following tasks: • Ecosystem Restoration & Management: o Conduct assessments and mapping of degraded ecosystems/habitats in the target project areas. o Develop and implement strategies for ecosystem restoration and sustainable management of 50,000 hectares, applying the LDN (Land Degradation Neutrality) response hierarchy of 'avoid, reduce, and restore'. o Facilitate the identification and establishment of areas for conservation and restoration, ensuring the integration of ILM (Integrated Landscape Management) principles. • Capacity Building & Training: o Develop training curricula and materials on sustainable land management, ecosystem restoration, species identification, plant multiplication, and nature-based solutions. o Train and capacitate 300 individuals (50% women) in ecosystem restoration activities, ensuring inclusivity for youth and women-friendly approaches. o Provide hands-on and theoretical training on ILM, nature-based solutions, and sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring that the training participants can apply their knowledge to restoration activities. • Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) and Benefit Sharing Models: o Develop and implement PES models to incentivize local communities for engaging in conservation and restoration activities. o Pilot and monitor at least two gender-responsive and inclusive benefit-sharing models involving at least 300 people, ensuring scalability and potential replication in other districts. o Engage with stakeholders to identify opportunities for Public-Private-People Partnerships (PPPP) for the sustainable continuation of ecosystem services. • Sustainable Livelihoods: o Identify and promote alternative livelihood opportunities for community members involved in activities that threaten environmental values. o Work with local communities to develop income-generating activities such as agroforestry, ecotourism, value chains for biodiversity-based products, renewable energy options, and sustainable agricultural practices. o Provide technical support and capacity building to enable women-led initiatives and cooperative partnerships in sustainable agriculture and nature-based solutions. Monitoring & Evaluation: o Develop and implement a monitoring system to track the progress and impacts of restoration activities, ensuring regular data collection, analysis, and reporting. o Conduct participatory impact assessments to validate the effectiveness of restoration activities, benefit-sharing models, and livelihood options. o Document lessons learned, success stories, and best practices for knowledge sharing and publication on global platforms such as WOCAT (World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies).
