Introduction
Country: Philippines
Description of the Assignment:
The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) launched the Accelerating Green and Climate Finance in the Philippines: Nature Based Solutions (Climate Finance PH-NbS) Project to support the initiatives of increasing public and private sector investments towards mitigating impacts of climate change and improving resilience of national and local government agencies and communities. It is aimed at increasing private sector investments into NbS for climate resilient technologies, innovations, practices and approaches. One of the components of the Project is the design and implementation of Innovative Green and Climate Finance Solutions wherein the Public-Private Partnership Center (PPPC) was identified as a key partner in the achievement of the deliverables under this component, particularly in promoting greater investments in NbS PPPs through the strengthened capacities of the Center.
Under the Project, UNDP has engaged a PPP Specialist and a PPP Business Case Specialist from Polestrom Consulting Inc. (Polestrom), to provide advisory services which include the assessment of competency gaps of PPPC as well as policy gaps on mainstreaming green and climate considerations in PPPs, providing recommendations on necessary approaches and specific interventions related with identifying bankable NbS PPPs, development of a business case of a NbS PPP in Protected Areas (PAs)/non-PAs, and pilot-testing of policies and guidelines with green and climate considerations. In addition, Polestrom will formulate a capacity development plan to integrate NbS in the PPPC’s Capacity Building and Learning and Development Program.
As part of the business case of a NbS PPP in Protected Areas (PAs)/non-PAs workstream, a Legal Specialist (Consultant) is required to carry out the legal and institutional analyses of the aforesaid business case of a NbS PPP, including providing legal inputs to technical, financial, economic, environmental, social development and gender analysis.
