ENGAGEMENT OF CONSULTANCY FIRM FOR MONITORING & EVALUATION (M&E) BASELINE STUDY FOR EKITI STATE UNDER THE NIGERIA EROSION AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROJECT (NEWMAP)
The Federal Government of Nigeria has initiated the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP). The Project is supported with financing from the World Bank. The lead agency at the Federal level is the Federal Ministry of Environment (FME), Department of Erosion, Flood and Coastal Zone Management. State and local governments, local communities and CSOs will be involved in the project, given that the project is a multi-sector operation involving MDAs concerned with water resources management, public works, agriculture, regional and town planning, earth and natural resources information, and disaster risk management.
The Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) is designed to support the objective of achieving greater environmental and economic security. The Project is aimed at addressing severe gully erosion problems in the short term, reducing vulnerability to soil erosion and climate variability in the medium term, and promoting long-term climate resilience, and low carbon development. NEWMAP will take an integrated watershed management approach to erosion that will address the interlinked challenges of poverty, ecosystem services, climate change, disaster risk management, biodiversity, institutional capacity and governance.
