Tree Aid is seeking a consultant to assess donor funding for local forest communities’ tenure and governance in African drylands.
Tree Aid is committed to unlocking finance to best support local communities in securing their access and control rights over dryland forests. To advocate for this, we need to better understand the current state of international donor funding and priorities in relation to local forest communities’ tenure and guardianship across African dryland countries. This will allow us to identify gaps and opportunities in the funding landscape for Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC) tenure and forest governance in our region of operation.
This analysis will contribute to improving Tree Aid’s evidence base on this key issue, and inform and support advocacy strategies and external engagement.
How to apply
Please submit your application (technical and financial), CV and a cover letter explaining why you are the best candidate for this assignment to recruitment@treeaid.org with the subject line 'African dryland LC tenure funding analysis'.
Submission deadline: 12pm BST, Monday 23 June 2025

Tree Aid is seeking a consultant to examine forest governance models in African drylands, with particular attention to community-led approaches (tenure and governance). The research will analyse governance impacts on forest restoration, conservation, livelihoods, and food security outcomes.
Although an increasing body of literature examines the implications of community land rights and stewardship, there is limited evidence highlighting the comparative advantages of these approaches over alternative governance frameworks within the African dryland context. This research aims to address this critical gap, contributing to an enhanced evidence base that supports Tree Aid’s advocacy initiatives and external engagement strategies related to community forest governance.
By examining the specific benefits of community land rights and forest stewardship over nature, communities, and climate outcomes, this study will provide vital insights that can strengthen advocacy efforts and inform policymaking in the region.
How to apply
Interested consultants should submit proposals to recruitment@treeaid.org with the subject line 'Comparative LC governance study', including:
- Technical proposal outlining methodology, approach and timeline (2 pages).
- Detailed budget proposal with payment breakdown (1 page).
- Consultant/team CVs demonstrating relevant expertise (3 pages).
- Examples of prior work in impact evaluation and corporate sustainability (links in CV).
Submission deadline: 12pm BST, Monday 30 June 2025
