| Overview : The South African Wind Energy Project Phase 2 (SAWEP 2) is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) with the Department of Energy (DoE) as the Executing Entity/Implementing Partner, and supported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) South Africa Country Office. The project objective is to overcome barriers to the attainment of South Africa’s 2010 Integrated Resource Plan target of 3,320 MW of wind power generation online by 2018/19. In order to achieve this, the project focusses on four components: Component 1: Monitoring and Evaluation of the implementation of local content requirements, Component 2: Resource-mapping and wind corridor development support for policy-makers, Component 3: Support for the development of small-scale wind sector and Component 4: Training and human capital development for the wind energy sector. Each component is associated with specific outputs and a set of activities. The assignment relates to the SAWEP 2 Component 1: Monitoring and Evaluation of the implementation of local content requirements Output 1.1: Monitoring & Verification (M&V) system developed and implemented to facilitate the localisation process and Output 1.2: Capacity developed in Government and targeted value-chain sectors to facilitate compliance with local content requirements. UNDP together with the Department of Energey is therefore seeking services of a service provider to assess and to analyse the Economic Development element impact as a whole including the economic development bidding criteria of the RE IPPP and to make recommendations towards the achievement of optimal socio economic benefit, including review of with recommendations of the SAWEP 2 Project document Component 1, outputs, activities and Project Results Framework. |
