81322411-Study of the socio-environmental and economic impact assessment of Ecosystem-based Adaptation measures

General Objective: Technical and scientific support in monitoring the Resilient Puna project indicators to measure project impacts as indicated in its logical framework. Quantify and generate evidence of the multiple benefits (social, economic, and environmental) of ecosystem-based adaptation measures implemented by communities, producer associations, and/or cooperatives that have been financed by the Puna Facility, the financial mechanism of the Resilient Puna Project. Specific Objectives are the strengthening of community monitoring and data collection to measure project indicators, data analysis and development of studies on the effectiveness of EbA measures, development of a methodology for measuring the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as a result of the implementation of EbA measures in the high Andean ecosystems of southern Peru. The contractor will be responsible for the activities of Work Packages 1: Development and implementation of a methodology for data collection, transfer and analysis and Work Package 3: Development of a methodology for measuring the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions due to the implementation of AbE measures in the high Andean ecosystems of southern Peru. The contractor provides technical/consulting support to the project through the activities of Work Package 2: Management, transfer and analysis of information and results. This includes among others in WP 1 a Georeferenced database of monitored variables of the monitoring sites (community and complementary points of field researchers) and the organization of training workshops, in WP 2 the promotion of scientific research linked to the measurement of the impact of EbA measures in the high Andean zone, involving 10 master's and/or doctoral researchers from the project's regions in the process of data collection and analysis for the project's indicators and the indicators prioritized by the communities. For this purpose, alliances with the universities of Cuzco, Puno, Apurimac, Arequipa and Lima should established by the contractor. In WP 3 among others a methodological proposal to measure the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the Puna ecosystems as a consequence of the implementation of AbE measures and a study based on the results of the two pilots evaluated in the scope of two local initiatives, with proposals to improve the parameters in the Ex act methodology based on the analyzed data.
