Description

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANTS SELECTION) NAME OF PROJECT: SADC REGIONAL CLIMATE RESILIENCE PROJECT (RCRP) ASSIGNMENT TITLE: FACILITATOR TO LEAD IN-COUNTRY TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO DEVELOP BANKABLE PROJECT PROPOSALS FOR MOBILIZING RESOURCES FOR CLIMATE AND DISASTER RISK FINANCING. The SADC Secretariat through the SADC Regional Climate Resilience Project (RCRP) has received a grant. The Project is the first in a Series of Projects (SOP), and involves Madagascar, Mozambique, South Sudan, Comoros, and two regional organizations: SADC, and the Eastern Nile Technical Regional Office (ENTRO). The overarching development objective of the SOP is to strengthen the resilience to water-related climate impacts in Eastern and Southern African countries and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services for the assessment and development of operational and coordination manuals for adaptive social protection programs in the SADC Region. In view of the above, the SADC Secretariat is undertaking a number of interventions aimed at increasing the resilience of the SADC economies, improvement of livelihoods of the region’s communities and the protection and restoration of biodiversity and the region’s ecosystems. One such initiative is the Regional Climate Resilience Program (RCRP), which is a programmatic framework (structured as a series of projects or SOPs), funded by the World Bank, with the objective of strengthening the resilience to water-related climate hazards and their impacts in Eastern and Southern African countries. The first project within this program, RCRP-1 supports Madagascar, Mozambique, South Sudan, Comoros, and two regional organizations: SADC, and the Eastern Nile Technical Regional Office (ENTRO) while the second project (RCRP-2) supports Malawi and the African Union. The SOP allows for scalability (countries can join at different times) and economies of scale. It supports catalytic medium- to large-scale investments to reduce people’s exposure to climate shocks, with a focus on protective, multi-benefit infrastructure; risk adaptation and mitigation via improved early warning systems and planning; and scaling up adaptive safety nets and decentralized resilience building activities.
