3 1 Executive Summary The Limpopo Transboundary Programme has been requested by Beitbridge Rural District Council together with Maramani Tourism Development Trust to facilitate the establishment of a Community Private Public Partnership for the purposes of managing a Tourist Tented Camp that is located in Maramani Beitbridge West. The Limpopo Transboundary Programme (LTP) is a Transboundary Natural Resources management programme that is funded by the Italian Development Corporation, implemented by IUCN and Executed by CESVI a nongovernmental organisation with headquarters in Italy. The programme is currently operating in Beitbridge and Chiredzi Districts of Zimbabwe. In Beitbridge the LTP is currently working with Beitbridge Rural District Council and the Community of Maramani as represented by their Community Trust on the Development of Transboundary Tourism Infrastructure in the form of a tented camp and its management institutions. It is in that context that the LTP has been requested to play a facilitation role on the development of a Community Public Private Partnership. By copy of the present document the LTP, therefore invites proposals from interested potential tourism Private sector partners who can work with Beitbridge Rural District Council and the Community of Maramani on the operationalisation and management of the tented camp. 2 Background The creation of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park through a treaty involving Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe in 2002 and the ongoing processes of establishing the Greater Mapungubgwe TFCA involving Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe seeks among other things to develop trans-border ecotourism. This development of Trans-border tourism is viewed as part of the means of fostering regional socio-economic development through partnerships between states in collaboration with the private sector, local communities and non-governmental organizations as part of transboundary management of biological natural resources and cultural heritage resources. On the Zimbabwean side Beitbridge district has over the past 10years, found itself at the centre of a number of Transboundary Natural Resources Management processes that affects both the GLTFCA and the GMTFCA. This is because parts of the district constitute part of the geographical areas of the two TFCAs the GLTFCA in the east and the GMTFCA in the west respectively. Of interest to the present call is a programme entitled Livelihood enhancement through Transboundary Natural Resources Management in the Limpopo Corridor in short the Limpopo Transboundary Programme(LTP), a programme that Beitbridge district together with Chiredzi district has been working in partnership with IUCN as the Implementing Agency and CESVI as the Executing agency. This is a programme that has been funded by the Italian Development Corporation Page 3 of 11
4 Figure 1: Locations for the GLTFCA and the GMTFCA 3 Limpopo Transboundary Programme Interventions At its very inception workshop in April 2009, Zimbabwean stakeholders identified crops, livestock and wildlife and tourism as potential sectors that the programme could support so as to meet its objective of improving the livelihoods of its targeted communities. This recommendation was endorsed by a regional workshop that was held in Pretoria in July 2009 involving key stakeholders from Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Figure 2: Priority Sectors for the LTP 3.1 Tourism Interventions Zimbabwean Context The LTP carried out detailed technical analysis involving the use of Decision Support System and Stakeholder Consultations Motivated with the objective of defining specific interventions on the tourism sector. Key among the outcomes was the realization that: Key tourism resources in the GLTFP and GMTFCA include wildlife in public and private protected areas and surrounding communal lands, large rivers, aquatic resources and Page 4 of 11
5 diverse vegetation types that form spectacular scenery in some places and diverse cultural traditions of resident communities in Beitbridge and Chiredzi Rural District Councils (RDCs). Tourism on the Zimbabwean side of the GLTFP and GMTFCA continues to operate way below its full potential due to poorly maintained road networks, lack of tourist friendly crossing points between Zimbabwe and South Africa, lack of developed cross-border tourism products, lack of accommodation facilities, overreliance on sport hunting in CAMPFIRE areas, local communities lack of authority to utilize and derive direct benefits from wildlife and cultural tourism. The two RDCs and their communities are part of the CAMPFIRE of which they do get some limited revenues but the campfire programme has its challenges too. Challenges include conflicts of interest on the part of the Safari Operators when it comes to Problem Animal Control and the fact that authority to manage and utilize natural resources remains vested with the RDCs and not the specific community wards and villages where tourism activities take place which brings about excessive overheads for the programme resulting with revenues being over taxed. As a result tourism resources has not been making significant contributions to livelihoods leaving local communities continue depending on dry land cropping and livestock production both of which are occasionally experience failures due to recurrent droughts, livestock diseases and stock theft all of which signal the vulnerability of local livelihoods. In view of these outcomes and Motivated by King Slay Holgate s expedition of 2009 the Limpopo Transboundary Programme facilitation team and other stakeholders conceptualized the idea of linking the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area and the Greater Mapungubgwe TFCA through a series of tourist trails. The concept of linking the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA) and the Greater Mapungubgwe Transfrontier Conservation Area (GMTFCA) of which the two are separated by a distance of 180km was seen as strategic since the two parks have the following commonalities: Similar ecology and cultural practices Similar environment Beautiful Landscape suitable for hiking trails shaped by the same river Limpopo that link the two areas Similar challenges as they seek to promote Transfrontier tourism This concept was eventually adopted by the trilateral committee for the Greater Mapungubgwe TFCA and the Joint Management Board for the Great Limpopo TFCA. In April to May 2010 the Limpopo Transboundary Programme and a number of stakeholders that included Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, Zimbabwe Tourism Authority and the Rural District Council personnel from the Zimbabwean side conducted a trial expedition for a possible route that would link the two TFCAs. Key among the outcomes of that trial expedition was: The recognition that on the Zimbabwean side of the route there was need for camping facilities along the route to break the 180km distance. The need to develop tourist friendly crossing points instead of relying on Beitbridge Border post. The need to establish Community Trust that will represent communities on the formation of partnerships with the Private Sector and the RDC. The trial expedition was then followed by a feasibility study in April 2011 that came to the conclusion that establishing three potential sites identified by the trial expedition was feasible provided that: The three sites identified at Tshikwalakwala, Tshamtete and Maramani are initially set up as low cost interventions possibly as tented camping facilities. See figure one for the location of the three sites. The need to establish Community Trust that will represent communities on the formation of partnerships with the Private Sector and the RDC.

Facilitate the establishment of basic camping facilities for a 4x4 camp at Masubelele, in Maramani. Initiate the process of identifying private sector partners for the establishment of Public- Private-Community partnership arrangements for the management of the three proposed 4x4 trail camps. Contribute towards the establishment of offsite income generating projects. 4.2 Progress to date To date the LTP programme in partnership with Beitbridge Rural District Council has so far managed to: Get the proposals for the development of Maramani Tented Camp incorporated into the Integrated Development Plan for the Development of the Greater Mapungubgwe Transfrontier Conservation Area that incorporates parts of Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Facilitate the development of technical designs for the camp Facilitate the development of a Site Plan by the Department of Physical Planning. The camp is located 125km west of Beitbridge town with 10 of the 125km being a tarred road along the Beitbridge-Bulawayo whilst the rest 115km is on dust road. Get the necessary RDC resolution for infrastructure and institutional development. Page 6 of 11
7 Facilitate the establishment and registration of three community trusts at Maramani, Tshamtete and Tshikwalakwala. Facilitate the acquisition of the EIA certificate for infrastructure. Delivered on the establishment of infrastructure consisting of: Admin/Caretaker s House Ablution Unit that operates through a septic tank and a soak away Borehole fitted with a submersible pump, a diesel generator and a water tank Fire Place Three Braai Stands Plates washing basin 16 Slabs for fitting tents At a recent Stakeholders consultation workshop, organized by the LTP on the 27and 28 th of June 2013 and held at the Beitbridge Express Hotel to define the Model for the partnership linking the Community, the Public and the Private sector, stakeholders indicated that communities represented by their community trust should initially formalize their partnership with the RDC through a memorandum agreement that should formerly constitute the community representatives party. That process is at an advance stage and expected to be completed by the beginning of 2014 once the Rural District Council adopts the draft memorandum of agreement. Once that is achieved the process of setting up a Community Public Private Partnership should follow this up by engaging a Tourism Private Sector Partner who will work with Community representatives namely Beitbridge Rural District Council and Maramani Tourism Development Trust on the operationalisation and long term management of the Maramani Tented camp. These three parties should then go on to engage with relevant Public Sector entities such as Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, the Border Authorities etc who shall constitute the Public sector Parties. 5 Selection of the Potential Private Sector Partners In line with recommendations of the feasibility study and the recommendations of key stakeholders Beitbridge Rural District Council in partnership with Maramani Tourism Development Trust have jointly requested the Limpopo Transboundary Programme to invite proposals from potential tourism private sector partners who are interested on being part of a Community Private Public Partnership for the management of the Maramani Tented Camp. 5.1 Objectives The objective of this selection is to facilitate the engagement of a Private sector partner to set up a Community Public Private Partnership with Beitbridge Rural District Council and Maramani Tourism Development Trust for the purposes of operationalisation and management of the Maramani Tented camp.

This applies also to the partners projects supported. Personal relationships or personal advantages should not influence the decisions of Cesvi employees and its partners in this case the selecting institutions. Corruption undermines the trust of target groups and of the public in the correct fulfillment of responsibilities, and inhibits the best-possible use of accessible funds. In order to effectively prevent corruption and avoid any suspicion of corrupt behaviour, Cesvi in particular has developed a set of Guidelines16 for the prevention of Corruption and Fraud, which has to be respected by the employees of the organization as well as the partner organizations with which it is contractually bound. The consequent transparent application of the regulations and procedures protects Cesvi public image, defends the organization against unjustified accusations and generalizations and averts violations. Parties signing this selection process undertake to follow the mentioned Guidelines and to communicate them firmly to other contractual partners (suppliers, service providers etc.).
