Tenders are invited for Consultancy Services to Carry out Final Evaluation. In Ratanakiri and Stung Treng, most rural households depend on small-scale rice and cassava farming. Recurrent droughts, floods, and pest infestations have left over 80% of communities facing severe crop losses, reducing average household income to less than 0.55 per person per day. Weak production methods, high post-harvest losses, and the absence of collective farming structures further limit food security and income stability. With support from the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Johanniter International Assistance (JIA) and its partner Development and Partnership in Action (DPA) launched the 42month project Sustained strengthening of the resilience of vulnerable rural households, communities and local protection structures and mechanisms to climate-related shocks and crises (Dec 2022 May 2026). The project aims to strengthen household resilience, improve disaster preparedness, and protect local ecosystems. The final evaluation will measure progress in household income and food security, the functionality of disaster management structures, and reductions in forest crimes, while assessing how effectively the partnership translated participatory planning into resilience outcomes for 15,833 direct and 29,000 indirect beneficiaries.
