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 (b) appropriate Renewable Energy
policies need to be developed to provide 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 Renewable Energy Policy.
4. Specific
requirements and experience for consultants including evidence
of previously completed successful assignments of a similar
nature have to be clearly shown.
5. Consultants
will have a Postgraduate Degree in any of the following
disciplines: Policy and Development Studies, Energy Economics,
Environmental Economics or any other relevant Natural Science.
6. Consultants
will submit, either by hand or electronic, their technical and
financial proposals, in separate and clearly sealed envelopes,
