1.
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, 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 (b)
Public Health Laboratory
has to be upgraded or a
new Public Health Structure has to be built whatever the case
may be, 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 carryout a survey on whether the current
Laboratory has to be upgraded or whether a completely new Public
Health Laboratory has to be constructed and to cost the
upgrading of the existing structure or construction of a new
Public Health structure.
4. Specific
requirements and experience for consultants including evidence
of previously completed successful assignments of a similar
nature have to be clearly shown.

microbiology, entomology, ecology, environmental economics,
public health or acceptable qualification in a relevant field,
with specialization in laboratory services.
