5. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
5.1. Completeness
IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further.
5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria
Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated.
5.3. Technical Evaluation
5.3.1. Scoring Method
Your Proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high.
5.3.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds
Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further.
5.3.3. Technical Score
Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your Proposal’s overall technical score.
5.4. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores
The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal.
Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80%
5.5. Total Score
Your Proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score.
The relative weights will be:
Technical: 70%
Financial: 30%
Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

Background
Project Reference: P0421601
The “Regenerative Seascapes for People, Climate, and Nature” (ReSea) Program, funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and implemented by Mission Inclusion in partnership with IUCN and local partners, is a 2.5-year initiative operating across five Western Indian Ocean countries to reduce climate vulnerability for 350,000 coastal community members. In Madagascar’s Antsiranana seascape, the program focuses on strengthening coastal communities’ capacities to establish and manage MPAs and LMMAs as climate adaptation tools.

About the Project
The “Regenerative Seascapes for People, Climate, and Nature” (ReSea) Program is a regional initiative funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and implemented by Mission Inclusion in strategic partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and local partners across the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region. Anchored in the “Great Blue Wall” (GBW) initiative, the program operates over 2.5 years across five countries Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, the Comoros, and Madagascar to reduce climate vulnerability for 350,000 people in coastal communities. Structured around three core pillars Blue Planet (conservation), Blue Nature (Nature-based Solutions), and Blue People (women and youth empowerment) and supported by a cross-cutting Blue Partnerships approach, the program seeks to build sustainable, resilient, and inclusive seascapes. In the Antsiranana seascape of Madagascar, the Blue Planet pillar focuses specifically on strengthening coastal communities’ capacities to establish and manage Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Locally Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs) as tools to address climate change impacts. To achieve this, a comprehensive Conservation Leadership Program is being developed to equip community members, particularly women and youth with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to lead and implement effective conservation actions.
This program will be designed through a structured process encompassing a needs assessment, curriculum design, training materials development, an implementation plan, a monitoring and evaluation framework, and capacity building for local trainers, ensuring a robust, inclusive, and locally-adapted approach to marine conservation leadership.
Description of the Assignment
The consultancy assignment is structured around the following key components:
- Contextual Analysis: Review existing literature, program documents (WIOMSA Compendium, LMMA MIHARI Toolkits, Governance Framework Blue Ventures) , and relevant reports related to marine conservation, climate vulnerability, and community-based natural resource management in Northern context.
- Stakeholder Consultation: Conduct rapid consultations with GBW Seascape Steering Committees, LMMA members, local NGOs, MPA managers, community leaders, and government agencies to identify knowledge and capacity gaps.
- Program Design: Develop a detailed Community Conservation Leadership Program structure, including objectives, outcomes, curriculum, and key components covering leadership skills, ocean governance, ecological monitoring, conflict management, gender inclusion, and Nature-based Solutions.
- Training Materials Development: Create accessible, culturally appropriate, and context-relevant training materials, including manuals, guidelines, presentations, handouts, and locally adapted case studies in French and Malagasy.
- Implementation Plan: Develop a step-by-step operational plan with clear timelines, milestones, resource requirements, and a strategy for participant recruitment, selection, certification, and integration.
- Pilot Delivery : Facilitate and deliver the pilot phase of the Conservation Leadership Program with selected coastal community members, including women, youth, and local conservation leaders.
- Validation Workshop: Organise and facilitate a stakeholder validation workshop to present, review, and refine the program design and materials, incorporating feedback from all relevant partners.
- Final Reporting: Produce and submit all final deliverables, including the Program Design Document, Training Materials, Implementation Plan, M&E Framework, Pilot Report, and a comprehensive Validation Meeting Report in both French and English.
