WWF-Myanmar is now inviting applications for the Charcoal’s Value Chain Market Assessment Consultant who will be worked workingstarting for three months based in Yangon, Myanmar or Ayeyarwady Delta Region. from end of March to June 2022 with frequent field visits across Myanmar especially in Yangon, Mandalay and Ayeyarwaddy regions.

Background-

The mangrove forests of the Ayeyarwady Delta have sustained one of the highest deforestation rates in Myanmar and among mangroves globally. This deforestation has negatively affected the stock of natural resources (mainly forest and fisheries) in the Delta, representing the primary income source for a significant proportion of the population. Deforestation and mangrove degradation have also reduced the capacity of coastal mangrove forests to act as a barrier against waves, storm surges and other climate change-related events. Mangrove conservation efforts in Myanmar face significant obstacles, such as weak governance, lack of technical capacity, and lack of financial resources or incentives for maintenance.

 

Objective of the consultancy

The charcoal value chain assessment is key to understanding the current Delta charcoal’s market value and trade trends. This report will inform program interventions in the sustainable charcoal production and mangrove reforestation plan in the Ayeyarwady Delta.

  • Discuss, with field evidence, the positive and negative impacts of the supply chain on the environment and in the communities.
  • Based on the information collected, discuss the main areas of the exploitation of the resource and yearly movement to supply demand

Expected Output

  • The consultant will prepare a project description/ proposal report that will include an assessment design, timeline, and methodology to be used for data collection, analysis and reporting.
  • Draft assessment report. The consultant will prepare the draft assessment report and share it with WWF for comments and finalisation. The final report will then integrate reviews and comments. 

Duration of work

The assignment will be completed within 3 months from the contract signature. The study is to be completed before May 2023.
