Consultancy services: Media Network Establishment and Management to Advocate for Sustainable Sand Management in Viet Nam Mekong Delta

WWF-Viet Nam: Request for Proposals - Consultancy services: Media Network Establishment and Management to advocate for sustainable sand management in Viet Nam Mekong Delta

Tender Ref.: FY23/0004; Project: IKI Sustainable Sand Management Project.

Between 2019 and 2023, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), with financial support from the German Government, is working with national and provincial stakeholders to mitigate the Mekong delta’s vulnerability to SLR through improving sediment management.

The aim of the project is to reduce the unsustainable sand and gravel extraction in the Vietnamese part of the Mekong Delta in order to reduce the risks to ecosystems and socio-economic development caused by climate change. Key public and private sector actors will be enabled to make policies and practices related to sustainable sand and gravel extraction more effective, thereby reducing the Mekong Delta's sediment budget deficit in the medium term and increasing the Delta's adaptability to the impacts of climate change.

WWF-Viet Nam is looking for a firm with experience in optimizing the influence of media to (1) raise public awareness and (2) advocate for sustainable minerals management policy.
