Background |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Project Title: Accelerating Disaster Risk Reduction and Enhancing Crisis Response through Digital Solutions Description: The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, prone to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and typhoons. Climate change has increased the scale and frequency of disasters in the Philippines with an average of twenty (20) typhoons affecting the country each year. The current CoVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need for a more integrated approach that considers the resilience of the country’s health systems to minimize overall impacts on the economy and the welfare of the marginalized. The interface of disasters, conflict, and pandemic in areas such as the newly established Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) also offers an opportunity to develop custom built approaches for this conflict sensitive region. Disaster response and recovery in the Philippines has been largely focused on infrastructure reconstruction while socio-economic recovery has been more challenging. Risk reduction and humanitarian and recovery measures have not been systematically integrated, which has eroded resilience building efforts each time a new crisis occurred. As a result, the country’s poverty reduction efforts have often been compromised. Among those hardly hit are the most vulnerable on account of high exposure, inability to adapt, and weak socio-economic capacities—many of which needing specifically targeted interventions . It is recognized that government cannot address all these challenges alone, as such there is a need to support government partners for digital readiness to future disasters with a focus on an inclusive and human centric approach; identify gaps and needs to implement data-driven decision making in the Philippines; support government partners in performing digital transformation and data integration; contribute to the ongoing efforts of UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub to strengthen disaster risk reduction and recovery by improving digitalization of disaster data; and provide baseline information towards the initiative of UNDP Country Office in Philippines to innovate in linking existing DRR and climate databases for informed decision making. In this regard, UNDP Philippines is hiring a National Consultant to undertake a mapping and analysis of vulnerable groups2 in the country and produce a report with recommendations for future interventions, in support of the Digital Readiness Strategy in the Philippines. Scope of Price Proposal and Schedule of Payments The financial proposals from possible candidates should be expressed in lump sum amount inclusive of all financial costs related to this engagement (i.e. professional fees X number of working days, communications including internet).
