Introduction

Country: Republic of Mauritius  

 

Description of the Assignment: National Consultant / Team Leader to execute Component 1 and 2 of the Global Biodiversity Framework Early Action Support (GBF EAS) for Republic of Mauritius project and to lead the project implementation. 

 

Period of assignment/services: 75 working days between January 2025 to April 2025.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in partnership with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Secretariat, and with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), are implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework Early Action Support (GBF-EAS) Project. The main project objective is to fast-track readiness and early actions to implement the post-2020 GBF by providing financial and technical support to 138 countries, including Mauritius.

Financial and technical support is being provided through two pathways: first, grants from the GEF to eligible Parties; and second, a globally coordinated technical support service. An inclusive, whole of government and society approach will be followed during this process that strives to account for gender equity, and the full and effective participation of local communities and youth.
