The consortium of Caritas Switzerland and the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) is implementing the project “Climate-Resilient Integrated Water Resources Management (CR-IWRM) in the Zarafshan River Basin” funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The project promotes sustainable, inclusive, and climate-resilient management of water resources.

One of the project’s core components is the development of a comprehensive Zarafshan Basin Development Plan (BDP), which will serve as a strategic framework for integrated water resources management. As part of the basin planning process, it is essential to assess the social and gender dimensions of water access, governance, and agricultural livelihoods. This consultancy will ensure that the Basin Development Plan (BDP) is aligned with national policies on gender equality, social development, and sustainable natural resource management.
