A local consultant with strong knowledge of the sectoral landscape and national policies as well as strong links to local key stakeholders is being recruited to support the design of the NDC Action project in Vietnam.
The UNEP DTU Partnership (UDP), in collaboration with UNEP, has launched a new project ‘NDC Action – Facilitating implementation of climate-resilient and low-carbon development aligned with national and global goals’, funded by the International Climate Initiative. The overall aim of the project is to support countries in translating their nationally determined contribution (NDC) into a portfolio of policies and programmes, ready for financing and implementation, in two priority sectors selected by each country. The engagement of financial institutions for the development of climate-friendly investment plans is hereby one of the key elements of the project.
This four-year project is being executed in ten different countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia and the UNEP DTU Partnership is recruiting a Consultant to conduct a baseline study to help design the NDC Action project in Vietnam.
The Consultant will be responsible for collecting data and providing analysis to support the establishment of multi-stakeholder consultation mechanisms and processes as well as the selection of two priority sectors for this project. The consultant will further collect information that facilitates the identification of relevant national technical institutions to provide technical assistance for the two priority sectors.
The Consultant will prepare a report with recommendations based on desk review and consultation with key stakeholders.
