| Overview : UNCDF works with local and central government institutions to improve the capacity of local governance institutions in planning, budgeting, public expenditure management, procurement and delivery management and other areas related to the application of development capital and other resources. UNCDF is supporting an expanding portfolio of programmes in all regions that provide capital resources to local governance processes to enable them to meet the challenges of poverty reduction, the Millennium Development Goals and climate change. These programmes promote local level public financial management and decentralized governance responses to these challenges. To support the expansion of the LoCAL portfolio of programmes in the Pacific to integrate climate change adaptation into local development planning and budgeting by providing technical assistance to UNCDF and beneficiary countries, the objective of this consultancy is to conduct pre-scoping of candidate countries, assessing the conditions to successfully launch and implement a LoCAL project in the countries.
