NRC Nigeria: Consultancy Notice 

Project: Feasibility study on other hydrological parameters of the project location, rainwater harvesting, hydrology and the full technical dams design,

Ref No: 12/NRC-NOT/NG/2024

The feasibility study will be more focused on outcome two, increased and sustained productivity to vulnerable farmers and herders through improved access to water harvesting solutions, water storage, distribution, and sanitation infrastructures. The infrastructures should have an element of flood protection in the design.

The project will support the community to acquire access to water harvesting infrastructures that will supply water to the farmers and animal watering points. The water harvesting infrastructure will incorporate water storage and distribution channels including animal watering troughs and other designated points with support from the community members. The engagement of the community in Natural Resource Management (NMC) will contribute to reduced conflict among targeted communities in Plateau State and improve access to livelihoods and integrated water management systems. The project will also aim to provide tailored and holistic assistance to targeted participants through an integrated LFS-WASH approach to address one of the main drivers of conflict, which is competition for land, water, and natural resources in collaboration with the Plateau State Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (PRUWASA), and the Ministry of Water Resources and Energy, and the various Local Government Department of Water Resources and Sanitation. NRC will identify six (6) catchment areas to conduct the primary feasibility studies, out of which the three (3) most suitable locations will be selected to implement new or enhance existing water management systems to improve availability of water for agriculture and animal consumption.
