INVITATION TO TENDER FOR CONSULTANCY TO ACCESS WOMEN’S ACCESS TO LAND AND PROPERTY RIGHTS ISSUES AND BARRIERS IN FOUR LGAS.

Background Information and Context
Adamawa State’s ethnic crisis and natural disaster poses dangers to affected
populations, particularly women, and threatens socio-economic progress. Adamawa State, faces significant challenges arising from ethnic and religious tensions, posing serious threats to affected populations, especially women. Furthermore, the state has been grappling with the communal clashes, fuelled by land access disagreements, cultural differences, and changes in traditional climate patterns. Adamawa State has been affected by conflict, leading to displacement, loss of lives, and infrastructure destruction. The State has over one million or 24 per cent of the 4.4 million people targeted for humanitarian assistance in the BAY states in 2024. Of these people, 62 per cent are in host communities, 12 per cent are internally displaced persons and 25 per cent are returnees.

Overview
The consortium represented by NRC, DRC, IRC, JDPC and BBC Media Action is
implementing a multi-sectoral, area-based response, providing integrated services across the following sectors: Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Shelter and Settlements, Nutrition, Health, Economic Recovery and Market Systems (ERMS) and Protection. Each organization based on the areas of expertise and the established presence in Adamawa state will be taking a lead in a specific sectorial focus where NRC will be leading on WASH, Shelter, Protection (focused on legal aid), DRC on Economic Recovery and Market Systems, IRC on Health, Nutrition and Specialized Protection Services (GBV and Child Protection), JDPC and BBC Media Action on Protection (Social Cohesion) and non-protection related issues to be determined.

Additionally, general protection will cut across the partners to ensure referrals and safe inclusive programming are incorporated in the project design and delivery. NRC, DRC, IRC, JDPC and BBC Media Action are established in Adamawa and have presence across the state where each agency will leverage on the existing community acceptance, access, knowledge of the context and investments done on ground. This will then further enhance the E2R consortium footprint, presence and services delivery when done jointly.
