Overview : The Climate Aggregation Platform (CAP) aims to accelerate this transition in developing countries, promoting the scale-up of business and financial models which aggregate small-scale, low-carbon energy investments. The initiative aims to help build in-country pipelines of standardised, low-carbon energy assets and to develop low-cost sources of financing, tapping new and diverse investor bases. Objective of the Consultancy The objective of the consultancy is to undertake a number of project preparation activities, moving the CAP from an initial concept to a fully formulated design. The final output of the consultancy will be a completed UNDP-GEF project document and GEF CEO endorsement template, together with supporting documents. Scope of the Work The consultancy will be structured under three activities: (1) capacity assessment of the Implementing Partner; (2) design options; and (3) project documentation. The service provider will be guided and will report to the Energy Finance Specialist, UNDP HQ. The Climate Bonds Initiative will also provide inputs and guidance to the service provider.
