| Overview : The Sustainable Energy for All project titled "Development of Cornerstone Public Policies and Institutional Capacities to Accelerate Sustainable Energy far All (SE4All) Progress is an initiative co-funded by UNDP/GEF as well as the Government of Lesotho to the direct project value of US$ 3.9 million (secured principally from Global Environment Facility -GE F). The objective of the project is to catalyse investments in renewable energy-based mini-grids and village energy centres (VECs) to reduce GHG emissions and contribute to the achievement of Lesotho's Vision 2020 and SE4All goals. Project implementation was launched in 2016 and ending in October 2022. The project design is effectively two-fold; assisting with the creation of an enabling framework to support the long term investment in off-grid energy service delivery and, importantly, piloting various energy service delivery options with a particular emphasis on mini-grids and more distributed energy service options referred to as energy centres. The project is being implemented in the five selected mountainous districts of Lesotho namely Mohale's Hoek, Mokhotlong, Thaba-Tseka, Qacha's Nek and Quthing. Although they are difficult and expensive to reach by the national grid extension, they are generally rich in at least one renewable energy resource. A number of villages in these districts were considered for mini-grid implementation and others for energy centres using elaborate selection criteria. The project is designed to lay the foundations of a successful, post-project, rural energization initiative. The project is due for Terminal Evaluation in line with UNDP-GEF guidelines and this assignment will carried out by a team of two independent consultants, one international consultant (team leader) with experience and exposure to projects and evaluations in regions and globally, and one local consultants. Therefore UNDP invites interested International Consultants to submit their applications for provision of services for the Terminal Evaluation. |
