TORs FOR THE SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF TANK STANDS IN MWANDI, SESHEKE, SIOMA, NYIMBA, PETAUKE AND LUSANGAZI DISTRICTS
1.0 INTRODUCTION /BACKGROUND
1. Introduction
Climate change poses significant current and projected risks to Zambia, particularly to rural communities and landscapes comprising mosaics of agriculture and forests/woodlands. Climate forecast trends indicate a shorter duration of the rainy season, higher rainfall variability and a delayed onset of the rainy season, along with a hotter and drier dry season and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (such as droughts, dry spells and floods). Communities that are reliant on forests and agriculture, such as those in the Western Province and Eastern Province, are particularly vulnerable to climate change and climate variability (high exposure, high sensitivity), especially those relying on rain-fed crop production and woodlands. Climate shocks are increasingly leading to crop failures and reduction in agricultural productivity, contributing to food insecurity and generally loss of livelihoods, while also affect the health of forests and woodlands.
Consequently, the rich biodiversity that underpins the flow of ecosystem services to rural communities in Zambia is under pressure from encroachment of woodlands for agriculture, inappropriate use of fire, and the excessive harvesting of forest products that are supposed to help facilitate the infiltration of rainwater as well as prevent erosion. As expected, these changes are leading to a decline in the flow of ecosystem services in most rural areas of Zambia, exacerbating poverty, and food insecurity, altogether increasing ecosystem vulnerability to climate change.
The continued degradation of woodlands along with declining production yields pose a serious obstacle to eliminating poverty and improving food security, and adversely affect the ability of women and men farmers, and local communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Unfortunately, these communities and the institutions that support them have low adaptive capacities, particularly at sub-national levels.
Enhancing climate resilience through the long-term supply of ecosystem services from farm and woodland requires new landscape approaches and new organizational approaches that include and improve the inclusive participation of local people, particularly women, in sustainable woodland and farm management. Water management needs to be addressed in a context of climate change, as the strong dependence on rain fed agriculture threatens rural livelihoods exposed to drought risks.
In this regard, the project aims at engaging a supplier to for the supply of Tank stands for the 55 existing functioning boreholes that were recommended for upgrading to motorized mechanisms and use them domestic and irrigation purposes.
2.0 RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATION FOR CONDUCTING A PUMPING TEST ACTIVITY ON EXISTING BOREHOLES
The key negative environmental changes that have occurred across the project landscapes, as pointed out by the various stakeholders, are: Drying of most perennial streams and rivers: Most waterways have become seasonal due to severe droughts, Increased frequency and severity of droughts and elevated seasonal temperatures leading to increased agricultural crop failure and death of livestock hence posing a serious obstacle to eliminating poverty and improving food security, and adversely affects the ability of women, youth and men farmers, and local communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Women and children in the communities face challenges to pump water as it requires much energy and also distances to the water points.
During the baseline data collection of existing water points for both surface and groundwater resources, concerns were raised about the increasing water demand leading to a fight for water for both humans and animal population. Water is drawn from hand pumps which is causing a lot of challenges for women and children because it requires a lot of energy to pump.
Hence, there is need to erect tank stands were tanks will be mounted and filled with water from the motorized boreholes to increase farmers’ capacity to increase yields and limit the detrimental consequences of dry spells.
3.0 OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of the assignment will be to:
- To supply and install 55 tank stands for the recommended existing functioning boreholes in Nyimba, Petauke, Lusangazi, Mwandi, Sesheke and Sioma districts;
4.0 EXPECTED RESULTS/DELIVERABLES
The expected results/deliverables will be: –
- 55 tank stands delivered to respective sites by the supplier;
- 55 tank stands erected in Nyimba, Petauke, Lusangazi, Mwandi, Sesheke and Sioma districts.
