Request for proposals to revise/develop FSC Risk Assessments

The Forest Stewardship Council is inviting proposals for the review and revision of existing national and centralized risk assessments related to forest products. The objective is to align these assessments with the FSC-PRO-60-006b Risk Assessment Framework. In countries/areas where FSC risk assessments do not exist, proposals are invited for their development.

While existing versions of the risk assessments are useful, they need to be reviewed and revised. The project involves reviewing existing assessments (where they exist), identifying gaps, conducting independent research, engaging stakeholders, and preparing (revised) drafts for FSC review. 

We are now inviting qualified respondents to bid on one or more lots for the following countries: 

1. Argentina
2. Cameroon
3. Chinese Taipei
4. Czech Republic
5. Fiji
6. Georgia
7. Greece
