The services should include assistance for developing a carbon management system to optimize the management of dry lands to be environmentally friendly and economically profitable for agricultural production. A consulting firm should have a good track record of working in the field, be a leader in carbon sequestration assessments, and have a well equipped laboratory for training of staff. Experience of work in Kazakhstan is desirable.
