1. Context
   

    
   

   The Building Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa (BREFONS ) program is designed as a follow-up phase to the Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Program (DRSLP) with the aim of improving the living standards of women, youth and the population in general. BREFONS is one of the priority programs identified under the Horn of Africa Initiative, a regional program that was prepared and designed for implementation in six countries, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan, by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the European Union and the World Bank.
   

   In Djibouti, the program aims to strengthen resilience in food and nutrition security by implementing a pilot project exploring the use of digital technologies for digital extension services and the provision of concrete agronomic advice for plant and animal health. A key element is the production of educational videos to provide agronomic advice and promote best practices among farmers in arid and semi-arid regions.
   

    
   

   Location: Djibouti
   

    
   

   Duration: The consultation will cover a period of 12 months (May 1, 2025 - April 30, 2026) with the possibility of extension.
