TENDER BID NOTICE 

                                 Bay Regional Education Committee (BREC) is an indigenous local organization focused on education and related fields. Founded in December 1997 by a group of concerned citizens and intellectuals from the region, BREC’s mission is to advance the education system in Somalia especially southwest state of Somalia.

The impetus for BREC’s creation was the lack of a centralized government capable of providing a public education system for the country, particularly in the rural, agro-pastoral communities of the southwest state. In the absence of such a system, BREC was established to fulfill this critical need.

BREC’s vision is to develop a socially and economically stable community through a centralized education system. To achieve this, BREC aims to empower and engage the people of the region, supporting their educational development and growth.

By addressing the educational gaps in southwestern Somalia, BREC seeks to be a driving force in transforming the region through knowledge, skills, and opportunity. Through its work, the organization aspires to create a more prosperous and equitable future for the communities it serves.

 Therefore, BREC in partnership with UNICEF, is implementing the ECO Village program in Barwaqo Village, Baidoa, Southwest State, Somalia. This initiative aims to address the challenges posed by climate change through a strategy that incorporates climate change and environmental education to reduce environmental-related disruptions to school enrollment and attendance.

The program will focus on community awareness-to-action activities to drive behavior change. As part of this effort, the initiative will train 15 Community Education Committee (CEC) members and teachers in tree planting and gardening. The training will equip teachers and CECs with the necessary tools for developing and maintaining school gardens, including hoes, wheelbarrows, spades, and metal rakes.

Additionally, 1,000 trees will be planted at the same time to contribute to the reforestation efforts in the area. The program will also implement waste management enhancements by providing school waste management bins to promote proper waste disposal and environmental stewardship.

This holistic approach, combining education, community engagement, and practical measures, aims to empower the Barwaqo community to address climate change challenges and create a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly school environment.
