National Economic, Environment and Development Studies (NEEDS) for Climate Change

(Ref: 138-C/IUL/2010/29, Date: 23 February 2010)

Maldives as one of the most vulnerable country to climate change and sea-level rise has attained a clear assessment of challenges posed by climate change and has also identified the measures needed to address these challenges. However, implementation has been lagging partly due to lack of linkages with national development plans and international financial instruments. Therefore the project, National Economic, Environment and Development Studies (NEEDS) for Climate Change, is undertaken to identify the financing needs to implement adaptation and mitigation measures. It is aimed to identify the linkages with financial and regulatory instruments that will support the implementation of these measures.

Thereby, the Ministry of Housing Transport and Environment is seeking a consultant to work on the above mentioned project. The consultant is expected to prepare an economic and finance policy paper that bridges the gap between measures to address climate change and the national development agenda, while identifying linkages to financial and regulatory instruments on the national and international level.

Expressions of interest must be delivered in writing with a resume to the above address by 1500 hours on 3rd March 2010 by regular mail or e-mail. Duration of the project is 2 months and local and international candidates could apply. Quotations for the work should be submitted with the expression of interest.

Interested Candidates may obtain the Terms of Reference (TOR) from the address below.
