- Tenders are invited for Institutional audit and organizational development of the CEFAID partner. CONTEXT AND RATIONALE WWF works to halt the global degradation of nature and the environment, and to build a future where humans live in harmony with nature. The Congo Basin is one of the global priority regions for WWF. It is one of the Earth's biodiversity-sensitive areas (heritage), and it is ranked the second largest forest in the world. The Congo Basin provides food, clean water and homes to over 75 million people. The issue focused on nature conservation is not possible without the support of these local and indigenous communities whose ways of life and well-being are intimately linked to the forest and its natural resources. The identification and participation of local and indigenous communities in the process of conservation of protected areas (PA) is essential for their progress. WWF's vision is thus based on the concept of "inclusive conservation" based on practical long-term conservation programs with strong local participation and support for local communities, while fully respecting and respecting human rights. placing particular emphasis on marginalized populations and vulnerable people, in particular: the poor, indigenous peoples and women. The following points have been included in WWF's social policies: Declaration of Principles on Indigenous Peoples and Conservation (2008). Framework on Conservation and Human Rights (2009) Poverty and Conservation Policy (2009) Gender Policy (2011) In early 2019, serious allegations of human rights abuses in the context of WWF's conservation work emerged, most of them relating to activities carried out by park rangers. , and affect indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC) living in and around the Protected Areas that are the subject of this project: Lobéké National Park (LNP) in Cameroon, Salonga National Park (SNP) in the DRC and the Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas (DSPA) in the CAR. When we take these allegations seriously and respond to them, WWF has initiated an immediate and long-term response to improve the human rights situation through due diligence in all of its areas of operation. operation. Among these urgent actions we can cite the establishment of a WWF Environmental and Social Protection Framework (ESSF, 2019 - currently under review) applicable to all projects, programs and territories on the WWF network. The establishment of Protected Areas has also generated concern and conflict with regard to the use of the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, given that they are already considered as locally deprived populations and feel constantly dispossessed of their land they once exploited freely. At the time of the creation of the project relating to the Protected Areas concerned within the framework of this program (Salonga in 1960, DzangaSangha in 1990, Lobéké in 2001), there was no international standard regulating the process and guaranteeing the involvement of the local population in decision-making. To this day, this inadequacy continues to produce effects. The local population, particularly the indigenous peoples, saw the restrictions on access to the forests where they had lived for generations as a dramatic loss. This sentiment prevails to this day, and is etched in the collective memory which is transmitted from generation to generation. The following threats/gaps with regard to the human rights situation facing indigenous peoples and local communities in the said project as such, and have been identified while considering the preliminary conclusions of the WWF ESSF assessments, namely the conclusions on the feasibility study, taking into account a long experience on discussions undertaken with partners and communities on the ground. It is : Apathetic national legislation for indigenous peoples and mixed law enforcement where such laws exist; The absence of functioning and access systems to stem violations of indigenous rights and strengthen the insufficient capacities of indigenous peoples and local communities to assert their rights; The strengthening of the insufficient capacities of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in order to support the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities and the implementation of Independent Complaints Mechanisms. Lack of coordination and exchange at the regional level between the CSO which ensures the implementation of the GM and the promotion of the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. Indeed, one of the main objectives of this project is to ensure "the strengthening of the insufficient capacities of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in order to support the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities and the implementation of a Independent Complaints Mechanism.
