Activity 3: Increasing the number of explosive-detection dogs (EDD) from four to six in Djibouti: UNVIM will increase the number of EDDs and dog-handlers from four to six. As EDDs need rest during inspections and considering the climate conditions in Djibouti, the increase in the number of inspections necessitates additional capacity to ensure the EDDs' welfare and operational continuity.
Planned activities:
-
as per UN procurement procedures, UNOPS will either launch a new call for tender for EDDs and their handlers for a contract award or amend the existing contract with the current service provider of UNVIM (TDI — The Development Initiative),
-
New EDDs to be integrated into the existing team of 4 EDDs and dog handlers.
Timeline: Throughout the duration of the project
