ALLOTMENT The services are divided into five lots: Lot 1: Development of a hydro sedimentary circulation model in the area of ​​the Arc Emerald; Lot 2: Analysis of pollutants from urbanization and industrial activities and their impacts on the environment; Lot 3: Analysis of the fish productivity of the Komo estuary and Mondah; Lot 4: Economic Evaluation of ecological services provided by coastal ecosystems; Lot 5: Establish a system of coordination and promotion of research, especially for scientific animations, educational, capacity building, and university education. 3. CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION Participation in this Expression of Interest is open on equal terms to firms, research centers, laboratories, universities, consulting firms and groups of experts who are not concerned by the measures exclusion and disability as defined in Article 74 of Decree No. 0254 / PR / MEEDD of 19 June 2012 on Public Contracts Code. 4.

BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF EXPECTATIONS ANPN 5.1. Context of the call for expressions of interest The National Agency of National Parks (ANPN) mandate is the conservation, development and management of National Parks and protected areas under its responsibility. To achieve the objectives assigned to it, ANPN develops collaborations with various national institutions, scientific partners, technical and international capital, and may call for the lines of business, to external consultations, national or international . The ANPN implements the Arc Emerald program, defined in the years 2011 and 2012 and funded on the basis of the debt conversion agreement between France and Gabon. This program aims to improve the scientific knowledge and effective management, the development and enhancement ecotourism and territorial integration in the long term of the three protected areas located around Libreville, namely: National Parks Akanda and Pongara and Arboretum Raponda Walker. A draft document specifies the objectives and implementation modalities. The program is organized into four components, dedicated to i) scientific research and improvement of knowledge, ii) the development and management of these protected areas, iii) the setting up of reception facilities and visit, and iv) a regional foresight exercise to try to move towards green development models on the outskirts of Libreville in contact with the buffer zones of protected areas. Under the Arc Emerald program, various consultations are launched to meet specific needs. Component 1 of the project is dedicated to the acquisition of scientific knowledge on the operation of the Emerald Arc ecosystems and understanding the threats they are subjected. A search strategy was developed with support from the Biotope company and validated by a Scientific Committee. It identifies five priority research prizes that will be co-financed by ANPN under the Arc d'Emeraude. To enable the realization of this research, ANPN will contract of "targeted research" with consortia consist in possible international teams, national partners, Gabonese researchers and students. The ANPN contribute financially to the realization of this work, within available budgets of Arc Emerald project. 5.2. ANPN expectations regarding the production of knowledge through research A lot 1, The ANPN wishes to have a model of hydrologic and sediment movement to i) understand the hydro-sedimentary functioning of estuaries and Mondah Komo; ii) locate the most sensitive sectors and threatened by erosion, accidental pollution (oil spill) and chronic pollution (domestic sewage, industrial and agricultural); iii) develop a representation and animation tool for use by protected area managers, technical services of the Agency, researchers and research teams on hydrological and sediment migration flow into estuaries and Komo Mondah. The research Lot 2 relates to the characterization and quantification of effluents (domestic, industrial and agricultural), their cycles and their persistence in ecosystems, and their potential impacts on coastal environments from the Arc d ' Emerald and the living organisms that inhabit them, and risks to the health of human populations. This study will help assess threats short, medium and long term for ecosystems emerald Arc. The research Lot 3 concerns the analysis of fish productivity associated with coastal environments from the Arc Emerald. It will be based on both biological methods (test fisheries for the study of nurseries and abundance indices, characterizing the life history traits, etc.) and on surveys carried out directly from the fishermen. Batch 4 research is the analysis of the total economic value of these services across the Emerald Arc, including the values ​​of uses and non-uses. A quantitative evaluation of these services will have to be made so as to provide a solid argument to justify the sustainability of protected areas beyond the current political will. This lot also includes research mapping of mangroves, essential to a correct extrapolation of the scale values ​​of the Emerald Arc, and also aims at understanding the issues and risks associated with development, ecosystems and services reports, documenting the major sources of threats and the resilience of communities. The study should therefore set thresholds and criteria for assessing the opportunity costs associated with management decisions. Lot No. 5 Research is a coordination work and scientific animation, alignment of research teams, led with educational and transdisciplinary approach, cross capitalization of the results and exploitation of research. This lot will seek to encourage provision of results generated for effective management of protected areas from the Arc Emerald and direction of development of the periphery from Libreville to options favoring the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem services . This work is essential to make the overall research strategy of ANPN, concrete, operational and applied, but also to educate the Gabonese public and enhance the natural areas to local populations and policymakers.

They must demonstrate their ability to conduct research projects in the humid tropics (the Atlantic basin of the Gulf of Guinea, Gabon, primarily). They must also submit a list of recent scientific publications in relation to the proposed lots. The mission will be carried out during a maximum period of 36 months by expert teams of matching skills with the services to be provided. Applicants are strongly encouraged to develop collaborations with Gabonese technical and scientific partners, and to consider the framing of Gabonese students in connection with academic structures and Northern Gabon. The form consortia co-contracting partners, led by a representative, will be favored, and this aspect of the proposals will take place in the rating of final offers. You will be asked each team to work closely with other research teams, with the support of the care coordination team of Lot 5. It will include a provision expected results as and when they are produced, for the purposes of the work of other teams. An initial work coherence during the methodological framework phases, will harmonize schedules and stops delivery of data and results. The results should be used to formulate proposals for the sustainable management of parks and allow to lead to proposals for concrete measures on the ground. It will also be asked to develop the results obtained from the technical services of the Agency, and local stakeholders, including representatives of civil society. This will provide summary documents disseminated, to communicate regularly with managers of protected areas of all research teams and to give public lectures. The expected ANPN research teams they propose a list of health indicators of ecosystems and ecological processes studied in research batches. The monitoring protocols corresponding to the proposed indicators should also be clarified. This will be significant focus and operational indicators (simplicity and limited cost). It is also expected from the teams in charge of the various search items they provide recommendations for the implementation of long-term follow-up model of health Arc Emerald ecosystems developed by the ANPN.
