The Government
of Japan is providing financial support, through the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in New York, for the
implementation of the Africa Adaptation Programme (AAP), titled
“Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to
Climate Change Adaptation in Africa” in twenty countries,
including Lesotho, in Africa. The Ministry of Natural Resources,
through Lesotho Meteorological Services and UNDP Lesotho are
jointly implementing the project in Lesotho with focus on the
Health and Energy sectors. The expected main outcome of AAP is
that Governments, local institutions and communities are able to
develop and implement climate change adaptation strategies. In
order to realize the primary outcome, AAP aims to achieve the
following four outputs;
a. Leadership
capacities and institutional frameworks to manage climate change
risks and opportunities in an integrated manner, including a
decentralised approach, at the local and national levels are
strengthened.
b. Climate-resilient
policies and measures in energy and health sectors implemented
and community-based adaptation action promoted.
c. Financing
options to meet national adaptation costs, including PPP and
private participation, expanded at the local and national levels
are developed
d. Knowledge
on adjusting national and sub-national development processes to
fully incorporate climate change risks is increased and
opportunities thus generated are shared across all levels.
2. Within
the framework of output (a) Effective Platforms for Climate
Change Adaptation have to be developed in order to create a
conducive environment for managing the risks and opportunities
resulting from climate change impacts.
3. Now
AAP seeks proposals from suitably qualified and experienced
consultants to develop Effective Platforms for Climate Change
Adaptation in Lesotho.
4. Specific
requirements and experience for consultants including evidence
of previously completed successful assignments of a similar
nature have to be clearly shown.

any other related field.
