Background |
|
The Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. BPPS’s staff provides technical advice to Country Offices; advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder for including public-private dialogues, government and civil society dialogues, South-South and triangular cooperation initiatives, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas. As the UN system's development program and a GEF Implementing Agency since 1991, UNDP also supports countries in addressing development, climate, and ecosystem sustainability in an integrated manner. UNDP-GEF offers countries highly specialized technical services for eligibility assessment, program/project formulation, due diligence, mobilization of required co-financing, project implementation oversight, results management and evaluation, performance-based payments and knowledge management. With financing from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF), Special Climate Change Fund and other donors, UNDP, together with UNEP and other partners is providing assistance to integrate climate change into national and sectoral planning and budgeting processes. UNDP, through its leadership in the NAP- global Support Programme (NAP-GSP) is assisting LDCs to identify technical, institutional and financial needs to integrate climate change adaptation into ongoing medium and long-term national planning. The partner agencies of the NAP-GSP are the FAO, GIZ, GWP, IFAD, PROVIA, WHO, UNFCCC, UNISDR and UNITAR. The GSP is one of a number of initiatives in place to support Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to advance their NAP process. Within this overall background, UNDP is seeking a consultant to support staff with providing assistance to countries on catalyzing private sector finance for adaptation. In the context of support rolled out to countries to advance their National adaptation Plans, the consultant will work with UNDP staff to assist countries to identify and put into practice barrier removal solutions to private sector investment in the context of climate change risk management in key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and energy. This tailored support will complement other NAP-GSPs activities that are focused on region-based technical training and awareness raising, and knowledge sharing and exchange in the context of strengthening capacities of client countries to mainstream climate change into planning and budgeting.
