Description

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to implement the program to help Madagascar achieve effective management and control of its forest ecosystems. The primary means by which this purpose can be met, and which will be the most important activity in this contract, is to revamp and revitalize the Malagasy Forest Service to ensure sustainable forest management. The role and value of forests in Madagascar has been insufficiently recognized in development policy and planning, yet the value of forests to economic and ecological systems is indisputable. Forests provide essential environmental services including protecting urban and agricultural watersheds, cycling nutrients, providing local and global tempering of climate, sequestering of carbon, buffering the spread of pests and pathogens, offering recreational and aesthetic benefits, and others. In addition, forests offer economic benefits in the form of timber and non-timber resources, and increasingly for ecotourism. The work conducted under the Contract awarded through this RFP will be integrated with implementation mechanisms for other activities under the overall strategic objective for Environment and Rural Development. We anticipate issuing the RFP o/a December 1, 2003.
