The consultancy firm will be recruited through UNDP in close collaboration with REMA and will cover two districts (Musanze and Bugesera). The scope of work will entail:

 ·         Baseline study on Multi-dimensional poverty assessment for Musanze and Bugesera, and proposal for effective Poverty Environment mainstreaming in both Districts;

• Proposal for inclusive and sustainable projects/interventions for both Musanze and Bugesera. The proposed interventions should address both poverty reduction and environment-natural resource management, and provide opportunities for private sector and other partners to effectively contribute to sustainability and poverty reduction;
• Propose a practical implementation and scale-up plan of the same or similar interventions to other districts in the country.
