Consultancy for Development of a Training Manual and Training of Trainers Package on Faith-Based Biodiversity Conservation in Cambodia

Announcement Description

Biodiversity for All (B4A) is a three-year project (March 2026 to December 2028) funded by DANIDA and led by Danmission in partnership with the Cambodian Youth Network (CYN) and Ponlok Khmer (PKH). The project works to strengthen biodiversity conservation in Prey Lang, Preah Rokar, and Sorng Rokha Vorn Wildlife Sanctuaries through community participation, community-based and faith-based biodiversity monitoring, sustainable livelihoods, and inclusive governance.

Recognising the important role that faith communities play in shaping values, behaviours, and community action, B4A seeks to strengthen the engagement of faith-based actors in biodiversity conservation. While Buddhist teachings and Indigenous spiritual traditions offer strong foundations for environmental stewardship, Cambodia currently has limited locally relevant training materials and learning resources that connect faith perspectives with biodiversity conservation. Existing resources are few, and opportunities for interfaith learning and collaboration on conservation remain limited.

To address this gap, Danmission seeks a qualified consultant or organisation to develop a Training Manual and Training of Trainers (ToT) Package on Faith-Based Biodiversity Conservation in Cambodia. The assignment will produce practical, contextually relevant learning materials that draw on Buddhist and Kuy Indigenous perspectives, while equipping faith leaders, educators, and community members with the knowledge and skills to promote biodiversity conservation in Cambodia.
