Introduction
UNDP Sierra Leone Country Office and its partners (Environmental Protection Agency Sierra Leone, Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, National Disaster Management Agency etc) are in the process of developing a project titled “Enhancing Sustainable Land Management Financing and Biodiversity conservation through innovative financing for an integrated Climate resilience in Koinadugu district”. A project concept (PIF) was developed and approved for funding by Global Environment Facility (GEF) 8. Now the next step is to develop a fully-fledged project document (Prodoc) for submission to GEF. The process of Prodoc development/GEF PPG will be undertaken in full consultation and close engagement with government, CSO, academic community and other relevant stakeholders who will benefit from and be directly involved in the implementation of the project (direct project beneficiaries).
Against this backdrop, UNDP is hiring a team of consultants to develop a fully-fledged project proposal for “Enhancing Sustainable Land Management Financing and Biodiversity conservation through innovative financing for an integrated Climate resilience in Koinadugu district” for submission to the GEF Secretariat fully compliant with the enforced GEF rules and standards as part of the GEF Project Preparation Grant (PPG). The consultants will work closely with UNDP SL Country Office, Sustainable Local Economic Development (SLED) Team leader, Regional Hub’s Technical Advisors and under the overall guidance of UNDP Sierra Leone CO Deputy Resident Representative. The purpose of the PPG is to fully design the activities, outputs, and outcomes and to develop a set of project documentations for submission to the GEF Secretariat and approval. The overall objective of the project is to strengthen sustainable land and forest ecosystem management and governance resulting in enhanced carbon sequestration and resilient livelihoods in Koinadugu District.
