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.
-
Within the
framework of output (a) capacity of different stakeholders to
manage the risks and opportunities resulting from climate
change impacts needs to be enhanced.
-
Now AAP seeks
proposals from suitably qualified and experienced consultants
for assessing the stakeholder capacity development needs in
climate change adaptation in the sectors of Health and Energy.
-
Specific
requirements and experience for consultants include evidence
of previously completed successful assignments of a similar
nature have to be clearly shown.
