  Terms of Reference
  On boarding private veterinary service provider to create linkages and capacitate PVPS and CAHWS in South West State along the transhumance corridor
  Tender reference #: WARDI/Care - AART -2025 -Veterinary Service
  The contact persons for this tender is:
  Abshir Mohamed, procurement@wardi.org
  About WARDI
  WARDI is a national non-governmental organization in Somalia with operational presence across six regions in South Central. Founded in 1993 and fully registered with the Federal Government of Somalia, WARDI’s mission is to provide dignified support to people affected by crises to enable them lead a dignified and prosperous life. WARDI has offices in Mogadishu, Jowhar, Afgoi, Wanlaweyn, Beletweyne and Buloburte in South Central as well a liaison office in Nairobi. WARDI specializes in responding to humanitarian emergencies, bridging the gap between crisis and resilience as well as long-term developmental projects with a track record in implementing high-quality health and nutrition, food security and livelihood, education, protection, and WASH interventions. Our programming has the distinct attributes of applying a bottom-up approach that puts the communities, local authorities, and governments (National and Federal states) we work with at the center of our programs.
  2.   Project Overview
  Anticipatory Action and Climate Resilience Along Transhumance Corridor in Somalia (AART) is a DANIDA-financed multi-sector project to support Somalia’s recovery and build national resilience to recurrent natural disasters.
  AART's primary focus is on monitoring and supporting pastoral communities' migration routes during both normal and crisis periods. The project works to establish resources and infrastructure that can be utilized as needed to provide access to animal health services, water sources, and temporary resting camps along the migration routes.
  Since its launch, the AART project has made significant progress in implementing measures to address the impact of climate change. Given the increasingly severe droughts and flash floods in pastoral communities, the AART seeks to accelerate its intervention in the most common migratory routes in the Southwest state of Somalia. The focus is on enhancing access to early warning information, improving livestock health services, and ensuring adequate water resources along the migratory routes connecting lower Shabelle, Bay, and Bakool. This targeted approach aims to facilitate the swift recovery of the affected communities along these critical migratory corridors.
  The immediate and rapid implementation of AART is to ameliorate the current high levels of climate risks experienced by many pastoral households in Somalia. The main goal of the project is to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change and enhance the resilience and social cohesion of vulnerable groups such as displaced populations and host communities, it is essential to improve protective measures. This includes preventing further displacement due to climate change. Additionally, it is crucial to provide livelihood recovery and technical advice packages to small-scale agro-pastoralist, nomadic pastoralist, and riverine agriculturalist communities in the most food-insecure rural areas. This support should be facilitated using an "inputs for assets" modality where appropriate, and unconditionally in cases of immediate need.
  The livestock industry is the most significant contributor, with over 50% of the target communities depending on livestock for their livelihood in South-west state. As a result of the current severe flooding and projected droughts, it is expected that a large population of pastoralists to migrate from wet-season grazing areas to dry-season grazing areas along river Shabelle. Hence, this mass migration is expected to increase vulnerabilities of livestock disease outbreaks and expose livestock to vector-borne related diseases. The episode will significantly impact the livestock market, which is already affected by low prices due to deteriorating body conditions and low food availability and production in the affected communities. By effectively tackling the challenges mentioned above, AART aims to enhance accessibility to animal health services. This will be achieved by creating a pool of private veterinary pharmacists distributed across the transhumance migratory corridor through strategically positioned private veterinary service providers. This will:
  I.        Protect the key livestock-related assets of crisis-affected communities and
  
  II.        Rebuild key livestock-related assets among crisis-affected communities. Therefore, SomRep and it is IP seek to subcontract a private sector to offer veterinary support and advisory services to pastoral communities.
  3.    Description of the consultancy
  WARDI and CARE plan to enhance pastoralists' access to affordable veterinary services by improving the distribution channels for veterinary services and inputs through private sector engagement and by linking the actors in the veterinary service and product value chains. This will create a continuous supply of veterinary products and financing opportunities for downstream value chain actors via the vendor financing model.
  The AART project aims to assist service providers in accessing markets and revitalising the struggling veterinary service and supply sectors. Building upon previous investments by SomRep and Non-SomRep entities, the project seeks to advance trained and supported veterinary service providers in Afgoye, Wanlawayn, and Buurhakaba to the next stage of development. This will be achieved through a vendor financing model that facilitates access to inputs and financial resources.
  This approach will connect veterinary service value chain actors with large national-level importers and product and service suppliers, providing better access to quality products and finance through loans. The service provider is expected to map downstream value chain actors in Afgoye, Wanlawayn and Burhakaba, offer a tailor-made solution to identified actors, provide one-on-one technical support, provide in-kind loans to identified downstream value actors, and provide continuous training and coaching for 3 months.
  4.  Scope of Work
  Conduct PVP and CAHWS mapping along the transhumance corridor through:
  5.    PVP and CAHWS mapping
  To identify the current Private Veterinary Pharmacies (PVPs) and Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) along the transhumance corridor, the selected private veterinary service provider company should actively participate in and conduct a preliminary mapping of PVPs and CAHWs at the target location. This mapping will help identify the existing PVPs and CAHWs in the target areas and assess the need to establish new PVPs along the transhumance corridor. Additionally, the contracted company will evaluate the capacity gaps of the existing PVPs and CAHWs, identifying the type of support required.
  6.    Provide one-on-one technical support.
  The selected private service providers are expected to conduct one-on-one technical support for the existing PVPs and CAHWS, provide personalized support, expert guidance, and practical training and establish long-term relationships with PVPs and CAHWS along the transhumance corridor.
  7.    Supply Veterinary Drugs and kits to PVPS and community animal health workers.
  To avoid the common issue of a one-size-fits-all approach and tailor our support to the specific needs of each PVP and CAHW, the project will embark on a one-on-one technical support approach and provide individualized technical support to PVPs and CAHWS along the transhumance corridors. This will be informed by the individual needs assessment reports produced during the one-on-one technical support.
  8.  Provide 5% of input loan to PVPS and CAHWS
  To develop a sustainable, long-term relationship and business partnership for the PVPs (Pastoralist Vulnerable People) and CAHWs (Community Animal Health Workers) along the
