The project team requires a consultant to undertake a comprehensive study that shall focus on
developing a comprehensive GIS model map showing livestock locations, migration routes and
patterns; conflict hotspots, location of water resources, grazing areas, cattle camps, human
settlements, farm lands, potential sites for water facilities development, disease risks zones in the
35 bomas of Kidepo Game Reserve. This mapping will be an important input into the
NaturAfrica project which will consider these findings into the establishment of a Land use plan
and community development plan for the Kidepo Game Reserve.

Specific objectives of the Consultancy
a. Collection of ground data from the specific project areas and develop sketches
showing livestock locations, migration routes and patterns.
b. Identification and sketching the location of water resources, grazing areas, cattle
camps, human settlements, farm lands, potential sites for water facilities development
outside the reserve, and disease risks zones in the specified project areas.
c. Provide a spatial and temporal framework documenting traditionally agreed livestock
migration routes and shared grazing areas in Kidepo, the surrounding Dongotona and
Didinga hills, and the juxtaposed Counties (e.g. The Kapoetas)
d. Conversion of ground data in the form of sketches into digital maps using the various
GIS tools such as ArcGIS and QGIS to show the spatial representation of the
livestock migration routes, shared grazing land and any other relevant natural and
man-made features of the area.
e. Generation of shapefiles for the various land-based activities within the areas of
interest and development of a Land use mapping for the Kidepo Game Reserve,
f. Develop requisite attributes for the spatial mechanisms and demonstrate spatial
linkages between the various project activities.
4. Scope of work
The scope of the consultancy is limited to collecting data and generating information that will be
used to develop GIS model map showing livestock locations, migration routes, grazing lands and
patterns. The geographic focus will be all the named project locations (the 35 bomas) in Kidepo
GR. The scope of the work to be undertaken includes desk review of the project literature,
meetings with the project team, key stakeholders and partners at Juba and field levels. The
consultant will also propose appropriate data collection tools ensuring accuracy and reliability of
information collected.
5. Mode of delivery
The consultant will adopt the direct field visit approach for data collection on the ground via
Global Positioning System (GPS) pickings and the rest of the compilation through home-based
working approach. This shall involve collecting, labelling/naming and compilation of accurate
GPS coordinates of the migration routes and patterns. The final mode of delivery will be
developed in close consultation with the project team due to the context nature. The final output
will be delivered after all comments from the client have been satisfactorily incorporated into the
maps and plans.

6. Key Tasks
The consultancy shall be tasked to carry out the following:
– Consultant will have a kick off meeting together with the Consortium Coordinator to
ensure complete understanding of the project and to collect all the required reference
docs.
– Read and understand the key project documents, which include; project proposal
narrative, EU guiding documents, and approved project log-frame.
– The consultant shall submit an electronic copy of the draft inception report. The draft
inception report should include a detailed mode of delivery including tools to be used to
gather data/information and a work plan.
– The consultant team will be asked to make an oral presentation of their proposed
methodology and instrumentation.
– The consultant team will be facilitated by the project team to undertake all the required
field work in various locations.
– The field teams will arrange meetings and access to various project areas in line with the
duly approved field itinerary.
– Carry out GIS mapping, using the various GIS tools such as ArcGIS and QGIS to show
the spatial representation of the livestock migration routes, shared grazing land and any
other relevant natural and man-made features of the area;
– Consult various data sources including topographical maps, satellite imagery, sketching
and profiling of the existing land uses. The features to be captured in the maps will
include but not limited to: the area’s coordinates, contours, rivers, wetlands, manmade
features including physical and social infrastructure
– After that, the consultant will work on and submit Draft Maps which will be shared back
after incorporating feedback provided by the project team.
– The consultant will then prepare The Final Maps and the accompanying outputs based on
several iterations as outlined above; ensuing that the highest quality standards are
appropriately met.
7. Outputs.
The following outputs will be produced:
a) Three (3 No) reference sketches; Budi & Ikotos Counties and combined (both Budi and
Ikotos) directly derived from the analogue data indicating the livestock locations,
migration routes and patterns.
b) Five (5 No) geo-referenced maps (GIS) depicting livestock locations, migration routes
and patterns specifically location of water resources, grazing areas, cattle camps, human
settlements, farm lands, potential sites for water facilities development outside the
reserve, disease risks zones in the 35 bomas of Kidepo game reserve. (Two (2 No) for

Budi County and Two (2 No) for Ikotos County and Two (2 No) combining all the two) in
soft copies (PDF and JPEG Formats),
c) Shapefiles for each of the maps for the 2 Counties and one combined (Two (2 No) for
Budi County and Two (2 No) for Ikotos County and Two (2 No) combining all the two
and a land use plan.
d) Thirty (30 No) coloured print out copies of the geo-referenced maps (GIS); fifteen (15)
for each County and ten (10 No) combined in A0 size (0.84 m x 1.19 m) in a plain paper.
e) A spatial framework documenting traditionally agreed livestock migration routes and
shared grazing areas in Kidepo and the surrounding Counties.
8. Time Frame
Considering the vastness of project area and the poor infrastructure, it is expected that the
assignment will take approximately 28 days, broken down as follows: 4 days of travel, 1 day to
review the project documents, 18 days in the field to collect data/information, meet stakeholders,
and produce the draft report, and 5 days to produce the final deliverables.
9. Qualifications and experience of the consultant
A multidisciplinary team is required with proven delivery of high-quality digitalized maps It is
foreseen that the following mix of skills will be needed:
a. Academic Qualifications
At least a first-degree level training in any or a combination of the following or closely related
field: Geomatics Engineering and Geospatial Information Systems- GIS; Cartography/
Engineering Surveying. Additional professional qualifications such as Remote Sensing, Satellite
Imaging or Photogrammetry will be added advantages.
b. Experience:
At least 10 years of work experience in one or all of the following:
• GIS mapping, remote sensing and satellite imaging;
• Survey in photogrammetric mapping and GPS control surveys
• Use of ArcGIS software Mapping.
• Extensive experience with planning and Execution of Topographical and Engineering
Surveys
• A practitioner in Surveying, GIS/ satellite imaging, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
• Experience with implementation of internet GIS applications based on ESRI technology
Prospective candidates may submit technical and financial proposals that clearly explain their
understanding of the Terms of Reference, approaches and methodologies to be used and the
budget to undertake the assignment. In addition, prospective consultants are required to submit
their updated CVs with accessible referees. It is also required that copies of similar work

successfully completed in South Sudan over the last 10 years be submitted as evidence of the
consultant’s capability.
