Consultant - Life Cycle Assessment of the Coconut Value Chain in Maguindanao
Organization: Philippine Red Cross
Closing date: 9 Jan 2026
Terms of reference for the Life Cycle Assessment of the Coconut Value Chain in Maguindanao.
1. General Background.
Co-funded by the European Union (EU), Philippine Red Cross (PRC) and Spanish Red Cross (SRC) are implementing the action “SWITCH Maguindanao: Transforming Coconut MSMEs into Circular, Sustainable and Inclusive Social Enterprises” in Maguindanao. As part of the implementation of the project, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) will be conducted.
The project has started in 2025 and will extend for 42 months until June 2028 in two municipalities, Datu Odin Sinsuat and Datu Angal Midtimbang, promoting the strengthening of the coconut value chain, working with small farmers and their small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Maguindanao. This initiative improves the sustainability of their production strategies and incomes, strengthens their access to credit and bank financing, and promotes the inclusion of beneficiaries in existing value chains. The project has two specific objectives and four outcomes, involving and strengthening the capacities of civil society actors and local authorities, and generating indirect benefits for more than 300,000 consumers. The gender and equity approach in this project, improves the participation of vulnerable groups, building capacities and promoting the peaceful convivence within the community.
With this action, 1,000 coconut producers integrating at least 20 MSMEs will improve their productive sustainability through the identification of weakness and bad practices and the incorporation of new technologies and equipment improving their capacities. To address key segments and stakeholders along the entire value chain. MSMEs, local communities, traders, authorities, and financial entities will collaborate to introduce inclusive green and circular economy practices. A comprehensive strategy for facilitating a green transition and enhancing added-value coconut production will be develop with the producers, addressing climate change, reducing pollution and negative impacts, and promoting sustainable consumption choices.
This action contributes to transitioning the Philippines to a low-carbon, resource efficient, and circular economy, promoting sustainable value chains and products in the coconut industry. Approximately 50 cooperatives and producer associations, both formal and informal, are dedicated to this productive sector in Maguindanao province. Despite the extensive versatility of coconut, which has the potential to integrate full circularity though the production of coco husk, coco coir and coco pit, farmers' limited access to training and equipment, result in an inefficient use of resources and waste generation that could otherwise be integrated into the value chain.
1.2 Key understanding of the project.
(The original text of the project is available upon requests of the consultant).
The action: The intervention proposes a comprehensive strategy for facilitating the green transition and enhancing added-value coconut production among small producers, contributing to foster the recovery of local economy. It aims to address key segments and stakeholders along the entire value chain. MSMEs, local communities, traders, authorities, and financial entities collaborate to introduce inclusive green and circular economy practices. At the same time, contributes to transitioning the Philippines to a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and circular economy, promoting sustainable value chains and products in the coconut industry. It supports MSMEs in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts by strengthening their business models and promoting increased income through resource efficiency. MSMEs, communities, and key government technical agencies collaborate to enhance local capacity and develop skills and knowledge on sustainable production and consumption. Throughout this process, evidence is gathered to inform policy and business decisions and promote innovative alternatives to plastic and waste reduction. This action enhances the investment climate for "Green Solutions" by providing investors with concrete evidence. The intervention proposes 4 different outputs. The Output1 aims to improve productive, processing and marketing (farm to fork) segments of the coconut value chain by bringing in low-carbon, green and circular practices, in order to reduce environmental footprint. MSMEs are accompanied through an organizational capacity strengthening, aiming at creating abilities to undertake change in productive models. Enhancing women’s participation in decision making it´s of paramount importance in this process. Communities are also asked to contribute with side protective agricultural practices which can reinforce environmental preservation and reduce risks linked to natural disasters, under a win-win strategy. The Output2 refers to the expected economic benefits coming from value chain improvement. Producers’ incomes are foreseen to increase, both for better marketability of the final products and for costs reduction linked to an enhanced resources efficiency, in terms of zero waste and circularity. Solutions are designed building up on “Promotion of a green and circular economy through civil society engagement and good governance in highly urbanized coastal cities in the Philippines” project’s experience, especially as far as environmentally friendly packaging is involved. The Output3 seeks creating abilities in MSMEs to access financial opportunities and credit, becoming desirable customers for financial providers, on the basis of their added value as sustainable producers. Finally, Output4 plans to promote an enabling environment for green financing by improving sectoral governance with the involvement of all the consistent stakeholders: customers, providers and institutions. The aim is to reach a fruitful dialogue leading to new financial products and opportunities tailored to MSMEs needs.
The beneficiaries:
A. Rights-holders: 1.000 entrepreneurs (farmers and producers) in the coconut value chain (60% women) with a focus on indigenous people, integrating 20 MSMEs, including coconut cooperatives, associations and farmers’ organizations: their business is currently conducted in a basic, low-productive and low-resilient way, entailing negative environmental impact.
B. Duty bearers: 30 Policymakers in 30 local, provincial and national government bodies (including at least 3 LGUs); 40 government official/employees, the MAFAR, The MTIT, the MENRE, the BPDA. Their needs reside in capacities for extension of SCP, value chain management and circular economy and in consistent knowledge to provide proper policies. This proposal is relevant for them to better perform their public function and to gain understanding on the needs of the community.
C. Responsibility bearers: 200 community leaders and members of local grassroots organizations (CSO/CBO), women associations, and Indigenous People associations, who need to acquire knowledge about innovative aspects of livelihoods and reduction of environmental impact, to be able to accompany and coach the communities and social groups they represent, as well as participate in related governance processes.
The context: Although the Philippines is one of the world's largest producers of coconuts and their derivatives, this crop does not play a significant role in the agricultural production of Maguindanao, where rice, corn, and fishery dominate. Despite this, Maguindanao is the third-largest coconut-producing area in the country, with over 200,000 hectares dedicated to coconut cultivation, yielding more than 700 billion tons annually (Philippines Coconut Authority - PCA). Coconut farming serves as a supplementary source of income, particularly for women in fishing households and in regions inhabited by indigenous peoples. Therefore, it represents a valuable resource for the economy of the most vulnerable households, especially in a context where poverty rates reach around 50% of the population (Poverty Statistics of the Philippine Statistics Authority). However, the sector has not yet fully recovered from the loss of coconut trees caused by Typhoon Nalgae/Paeng in 2022.
2. Objective and Scope of the Assessment.
Due the objective of the action, the life cycle assessment (LCA) will provide essential information for the implementation of the project, being the base for the design of a plan for production costs reduction, focused on resources efficiency, including circular economy and zero waste practices. The LCA is required to evaluate the impact of the coconut value chain locally and measure the baseline carbon footprint, specifically the CO2 emissions per unit of value added.
Planting & nursery. Evaluation of the resources and methods used for planting coconut trees, such as seedling production, irrigation, fertilizers, and labor inputs.
Harvesting. Analysis of the tools, equipment, and energy used during coconut collection, including manual or mechanical harvesting practices and their associated emissions or waste.
Transporting mature coconuts. Examination of the transportation methods, distances, and fuel consumption required to move coconuts from farms to copra or processing facilities.
Transporting coconut shells. Analysis of the logistics and environmental footprint of moving coconut shells from processing sites to charcoal production units.
Copra production. Assessment of the processes used to dry and extract the coconut meat (copra), including energy use, emissions, and waste management.
Charcoal production. Evaluation of the methods used to convert coconut shells into charcoal, considering emissions, energy efficiency, and sustainability of the processing technologies, identified opportunities for impact reduction and good practices.
In the case there is farms producing Coconut Oil and Palapa, the analysis of these derivatives must be included in the assessment.
How to apply2.1 Methodology and Deliverables.
The consultant will present, as part of the work plan, the proposed methodology and techniques for the assessment, considering the guidance provided in this ToR and the specific needs of the beneficiaries. The work plan shall also include timelines and proposed dates for the draft and mid-term reports.

Hoffnungszeichen | Sign of Hope e.V. (SoH) is announcing an open tender procedure for external independent financial audit services in Kenya and Ethiopia.
Background and Organisational Setting
SoH is a Christian motivated organisation for Human Rights, Humanitarian Assistance and Development Cooperation. Based in Constance, Germany, SoH is dedicated to helping those in distress and exploited people worldwide.
The audits are commissioned under the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) funding guidelines for development projects run by private German executing agencies.
SoH will be the private German executing agency and the contracting party, with Caritas Marsabit, Spiritan Community Outreach Ethiopia(SCORE), Caritas Lodwar, and Coordination Office of the Social and Development Commission of the Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC-SDCO) being the local implementing agencies.
The goal of this project is to contribute to food security and peaceful coexistence of agro-pastoralists and pastoralists in the border region between Kenya and Ethiopia. The project targets hard to reach and marginalized Pastoralist and agro-pastoralists living in hard to reach cross border area. Weak Humanitarian, Development and Peace (HDP) nexus characterize the area bordering Ethiopia and Kenya. The project targets 94,325 pastoralists and agro-pastoralist living in Marsabit and Turkana Counties (Kenya) and South Omo and Borana zone (Ethiopia). As a result, the marginalized and hard to reach pastoralists and agro pastoralists living across the border are characterized by chronic humanitarian conditions that are further exacerbated by poor/lack of developmental initiatives compounded by chronic resource (pasture and water) based conflicts leading to loss of lives and livelihood, limited capacity and coordination among partners across the border and climate related shocks. There is persistent and unacceptably high food and nutrition insecurity, poor livelihood options and social (health and education) services, as well as poor livestock marketing and limited financial services. Also, 85% of the population in the target areas live on a below average annual income. The area is being affected by recurring drought due to both natural disasters (climate change-induced) and man-made (overgrazing, and deforestation for firewood and charcoal). To address these interrelated factors the project will develop and strengthen cross border coordination for HDP triple nexus actors, establish and/or strengthen multi-level peace building and advocacy structures and promote livelihoods (village saving and lending associations and promotion of livestock marketing).
Audit Objectives
The purpose of the in-depth audits is to provide SoH with a sound basis for its accountability, transparency and accuracy in the financial disclosure towards the funding agency BMZ. The tasks of this recruitment relate to:
An annual audit, with a detailed examination of all the supporting documents for the period of 01.01.2025 – 31.12.2025.
A conclusive examination (final audit) of the complete project duration (1st October 2023 – 30th October 2026). Thereby, the auditor can refer to the last annual audit reports to be available at that time.
These in-depth audits will verify the compliance with standards of the funding agency BMZ, SoH, national regulations and the international accounting standards (ISA).
The auditor will review the project’s financial documents, receipts lists, records of transactions, all vouchers and receipts disbursed, and relevant project documents in order to come up with a professional, independent opinion on the financial accounting of the project “Capacity building for cross-border cooperation on food security, livelihoods and peacebuilding”for all funds received and expended by Caritas Marsabit, Spiritan Community Outreach Ethiopia(SCORE), Caritas Lodwar, and Coordination Office of the Social and Development Commission of the Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC-SDCO) from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025 and from 1st October 2023 to 31st October 2026.
Additionally, the audit shall give recommendations on strengths, weaknesses, and required improvement in the project-related financial and human resources management systems of Caritas Marsabit, Spiritan Community Outreach Ethiopia(SCORE), Caritas Lodwar, and Coordination Office of the Social and Development Commission of the Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC-SDCO).
The audits will support the project quality assurance measures implemented by SoH and contribute to the decision-making process with regard to the project management and monitoring of finances by SoH and Caritas Marsabit, Spiritan Community Outreach Ethiopia(SCORE), Caritas Lodwar, and Coordination Office of the Social and Development Commission of the Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC-SDCO).
Expected Deliverables
The auditor is expected to produce an audit report, an audit certificate and a management letter for each auditing period, which will comprise the following:
Presentation of the scope and mandate of the audit, as well as the list of documents that formed the evidence for the audit,

Drawing on over 100 years of experience and driven by Christian values, we work with the most marginalised in society to:
Break the cycle of poverty and disability
Treat and prevent conditions that lead to disability; and
Build inclusive communities where everyone can enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential.
We work in over 20 countries, investing in long-term, authentic partnerships with the Disability Movement and multiplying our impact by delivering a combination of inclusive community-based programmes, advocacy for national and global policy change and inclusion advice to other organisations. CBM Global is a worldwide federation with the following Members: CBM Australia, CBM Ireland, CBM Kenya, CBM New Zealand, CBM Switzerland, and CBM UK.
? About the Role
The Institutional Funding Senior Specialist is part of the Institutional Funding Team providing hands-on surge capacity for high priority proposals, ensuring Country Teams have access to relevant tools and guidance, facilitating internal learning and coordination on Institutional Funding (IF), supporting consortium formation and ensuring contractual compliance for proposal bids.
While the Federation Member Teams remain the lead for institutional funding in their domestic donor markets, the Institutional Funding Senior Specialist provides on demand support to Member Team-led bids. For strategic funding opportunities outside the domestic markets of Member Teams the Senior Specialist leads the proposal development team.
The IF Senior Specialist will closely coordinate with CBM Global Technical Teams (Advocacy, Inclusion Advisory Group, Disaster Risk Management, Community Mental Health & Psychosocial Disability, Inclusive Eye Health and Community inclusion/OPD engagement) as the position is cross cutting in nature.
This will be your team:
The team that you will be joining will have 6 employees in 2026, with expectations that this will increase in subsequent years. You will report to the Institutional Funding Director. You will have no direct reports but will work closely with teams across the Federation.
Key Responsibilities
1. Proposal development and surge support 30%
Lead and coordinate on agreed high-value/strategic Institutional Funding proposal development to deliver high quality, compliant bids aligned with donor requirements and CBM Global internal standards—coordinating inputs across Country, Member and Technical Teams and the Secretariat.
When leading proposal development, set the bid strategy and workplan; oversee compliance and eligibility checks; broker and document partner roles and governance; align the technical approach with MEL/logframe and budget; clarify risk mitigation and safeguarding measures, run quality reviews; facilitate internal sign off and ensure on-time final submission.
Provide on-demand surge to Member Teams on proposal bid development as coordinator, contributor or reviewer on one or more bid development tasks.
Lead or broker consortium formation for strategic bids, act as senior broker/support to strengthen design and governance and take up day-to-day coordination.

When leading consortium formation, conduct partner/OPD mapping and outreach; assess interest and consortium-fit; lead pre-award due diligence; define value add and workshare; draft/negotiate teaming agreements or MoUs, and document decision procedures – in collaboration with the in-country Business Development Officers for country based organisations, and with Technical Teams for international sector specialist organisations.
Support the IF Working Group (IFWG) and IF Forum (IFF) by coordinating meetings, sharing documentation, tracking actions and facilitating peer exchange.
Curate and maintain internal IF communication platforms to ensure up-to-date, version-controlled resources, decision logs and lessons are easy to find and consistently used across the federation.
Lead the development, testing, roll-out and upkeep of CBM Global business development tools, resources and guidance. Curate and improve high-quality boilerplates, donor annex examples and checklists, as well as capture lessons and debriefs to strengthen future bids.

Curate and develop tools that support compliance with donor requirements (e.g. procurement policy, risk register, etc) for donors outside Member Team domestic markets and per Lead Team Selection.
Build and maintain donor-compliance intelligence for strategic donors such as on eligibility and cost principles, reporting frequency and templates, sub-granting rules, procurement, audit/assurance, branding/visibility, safeguarding and ethics, data protection, procurement, and indirect-cost rates.
Advise on compliance during bid development for donors outside Member Team domestic markets and per Lead Team Selection, e.g. review donor conditions, flag implications (eligibility, cost share, sub-granting, audit, branding, data, safeguarding/ethics), and coordinate seeking donor clarifications through to submission.
Advise CBM Global colleagues on addressing compliance issues during project implementation (e.g. request for waivers, budgetary changes, etc) for donors outside Member Team domestic markets and per Lead Team Selection.
2. Consortium formation, coordination and support 10%

3. Internal Communication, Learning, and Coordination 30%
Support the IF Working Group (IFWG) and IF Forum (IFF) by coordinating meetings, sharing documentation, tracking actions and facilitating peer exchange.

Safeguarding responsibilities
Knowledge
Knows and considers the power people think they hold because of their position at CBM Global and takes care not to abuse it by treating everyone with respect. Considers their personal values and biases, taking care these do not negatively impact on how they interact with and treat the different individuals they will come across during their work at CBM Global.
Skills

Behaviours

Key outcomes expected from this role
High-value and strategic proposals outside Member Team domestic markets are submitted on time and to standard, with a clear bid plan, aligned narrative–logframe–budget, completed quality reviews, and zero critical compliance defects.
Surge support to Member Team-led bids improves readiness and quality—strengthening compliance pathways and MEL alignment—while preserving Member Team ownership of donor relationships and bid leadership.
Strategic consortia are designed and coordinated effectively, with documented roles and decision rights, fit-for-purpose teaming/MoUs, agreed workshare and quality assurance, and inclusive ways of working including OPD engagement.
Internal IF platforms and communities of practice operate on a clear cadence with tools, action point follow up, and concise learning notes that are easy to find and reused across bids.
For strategic donors, up-to-date compliance intelligence—covering eligibility, cost principles, sub-granting, audit/assurance, branding/visibility, safeguarding/ethics, data protection, indirect cost rates, and procurement—guides Go/No-Go decisions, design choices, and proposal development processes.
The IF Advisor’s delivery complements the Director of Institutional Funding and respects Member Team leadership in domestic markets, with transparent attribution to lead teams and separate tracking of enablement contributions.
