**THE INTEGRATED TRANSBOUNDARY RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LIMPOPO RIVER BASIN PROJECT
Improved water resource management, including the equitable allocation of water between upstream and downstream countries and among urban and rural users, is a challenge for the future development of the Limpopo River Basin. The UNDP-GEF project “Integrated Transboundary River Basin Management for the Sustainable Development of the Limpopo River Basin” will undertake a suite of activities designed to strengthen joint planning, development, and management capacity and practices at the transboundary basin level. These activities include: strengthening the capacities of the LIMCOM Member States and Secretariat to support IWRM implementation at the basin level; addressing critical information gaps; developing information and knowledge management tools for policymakers and other audiences in order to raise awareness of critical issues in the river basin; developing a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis and Strategic Action Programme to support joint management; implementing pilot Sustainable Land Management (SLM) activities with of the aim of reducing land degradation, and supporting knowledge and information exchange with other RBOs to support the effective and efficient delivery of project results.

**CONSULTANT - SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT (SLM)**

Under the technical oversight of the Senior Technical Advisor, the SLM Consultant will provide technical advisory and support in the assessment of land degradation activities in the Limpopo basin and on the interventions and mitigation measures that will be piloted and scaled.

**Objectives of the consultancy**

The objective of this Consultancy is to support the development of appropriate Sustainable Land Management interventions to a sustainable flood forecasting and early warning systems transboundary modelling framework for Mozambique and Zimbabwe. This will include assessing the needs and requirements in line with capacities on the ground and reviewing potential modelling frameworks that can be sustainably deployed within the transboundary basin. The specific objectives will include:

- Recommending a strategic approach to Sustainable Land Management practices at selected pilot sites in the Limpopo River Basin.
- Recommending a monitoring framework including the collection of data and sediment modelling to determine the impact of project interventions.
- Supporting the development of a basin-wide sediment monitoring framework.

**Scope of work**

Specific tasks will include:

- Supporting the Senior Technical Advisor in the development and implementation of information/learning exchanges with other RBOs to learn about their sedimentation transport monitoring and modelling practices
- Based on lessons from the learning exchanges, supporting the development of a scope and focus of work for capacity-building activities on sediment monitoring for stakeholders at selected pilot sites.
- Supporting the collection of data and sediment modelling at selected key locations in the basin to further strengthen the baseline for the interventions at pilot sites.
- Identifying Private Sector Actors in and around the pilot sites and investigating the potential of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes in which the Private Sector pays for programs that reduce
