Dear Sir/Madam,

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat, the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) are jointly supporting the “COVID-19-relevant Medical and Pharmaceutical Products” (CMPP), the Antiretroviral (ARV) and Leather regional value-chain (LVC) projects. These RVCs are part of the Joint Action “Support towards Industrialization and the Productive Sectors in the SADC region (SIPS) project

GIZ  would like to commission consultancy services to carry out assessments, run a pilot feedlot hotel and train farmers on good animal husbandry practices, feedlot management and Quality Management Systems (QMS) in the livestock industry within Namibia.

The primary focus is to reduce damages to hides and skins. The tasks will be accomplished through the introduction and promotion of cooperative feedlot hotels to farmers. Trainings and workshops are to be done to ensure that farmers understand and participate in the value of hide and skin care in farms and feedlots. These trainings will be centered on good animal husbandry practices and ways on adopting a quality management systems (QMS) model in their individual farming operations.

Trainings and guidance in implementing a quality management systems model will allow farmers to adopt a systematic approach on documenting and improving their production practices, refining how they manage the day-to- day activities (daily operational management, planning and business evaluation decisions) in farming.
