CONSULTANT (Team/Individual)
GFCR Bomberai Sustainable Financing Consultant
(Code: GFCR_Bomberai)
RfP no ; B001/2022
Title: Bomberai sustainable financing consultant for the Global Fund for Coral Reefs Project
Date Issued: 17 October 2022
1.
Background & Project Overview
Konservasi Indonesia (KI) is one of the convening agents for an innovative
program to support coral-positive businesses and change the paradigm of
conservation financing to support coral-positive business ventures. Konservasi Indonesia
is the main partner of Conservation International (CI) that will implement the
“Terumbu Karang Sehat Indonesia” project in Indonesia, funded by the Global
Fund for Coral Reefs (GFCR).
In West Papua’s Bomberai region, which consists of both Kaimana and Fakfak Regencies, KI has been working with local government and communities to establish and strengthen six marine protected areas (MPAs) covering a total area of approximately 850,000 hectares. This network of MPAs is managed by the Bomberai BLUD UPTD (under the provincial Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan) who work with local community members to monitor and enforce the MPA regulations that ensure sustainable use of the MPAs.
The BLUD status which has been granted to the Bomberai UPTD enables the UPTD to seek funding from external sources as well as from government. Their budget is used to support the patrol teams that routinely surveil the MPAs, addressing violations which generally include fishing in the no take zone or without the proper permission, destructive uses of the marine area (including fishing, sand or coral mining or infringements related to tourism). To cover the necessary budget to support and finance the patrols, KI is working with the Bomberai UPTD team to identify and pursue external sources of revenue that both supports the sustainable use of the MPAs, generates revenue for the UPTD and ensures the reefs and marine life dependent on them thrive.
KI seeks a consultant (or team) to explore locally appropriate revenue streams that the Bomberai UPTD could tap into that ensures the long-term sustainability of the marine natural resources in Kaimana and Fakfak. Potential revenue sources could include the tourism sector, fisheries or local commodities as well as financial mechanisms such as blue/green bonds or payment for ecosystem services. The consultant will then work with the Bomberai UPTD to develop a business plan and support the first few steps of implementation.
2. Project Overview
This consultancy has the following objectives:
· Explore potential revenue sources that are culturally appropriate for Bomberai and promote coral and marine health.
· For the top 3-5 potential sources of revenue, clarify exactly what these sources could provide and what would be needed to develop this revenue stream.
· Produce a business plan complete with financial modeling (with significant input from the Bomberai UPTD and KI team) and any relevant SOPs complete with projections for revenue generation and management systems.
