| Overview : Background The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) signed a strategic collaboration framework agreement (2020-2023) with the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) to support integrated programming and the strengthening of organizational capacities. The program supports the need for strengthened internal capacities to achieve UNDP’s overall Sustainable Development (SD) vision for poverty eradication through a more integrated, coherent approach to the environmental and climate dimensions of its Strategic Plan. The project is cognizant of the benefits of building the internal capacity for improved and efficient delivery of projects and the country programme. Under the same project, the Country Office (CO) is planning to fully assess and strengthen its capacity needs in the following interlinked areas: - Integrated UNDP Programming.
- Gender equality and women empowerment.
- Social and Environmental Safeguards including Risk Management and
- Data Management, Knowledge sharing and communication.
A capacity needs assessment on gender equality and women’s empowerment programming in the Nature, Climate, Energy and Resilience portfolio was undertaken, and a report was produced. The capacity assessment report informed the development of a gender capacity building plan, which spelt out a range of actions, including development and delivery of a training course on gender equality and women’s empowerment programming in the Nature, Climate, Energy and Resilience (NCER) portfolio. The project aims to institutionalize learning among staff and implementing partners of UNDP by equipping them with knowledge so that they better understand gender programming within the environment, climate and energy nexus in Uganda. The training manual on gender programming within the environment, climate and energy nexus is the foundation for programme team members to be skilled in implementation of gender responsive programs in the NCER nexus and deliver on gender sensitive result reporting. It is against this background, that UNDP would like to contract the services of an Individual Consultant to develop and deliver a training course for UNDP Country Office (CO) staff and implementing partners under the Nature, Climate, Energy and Resilience portfolio. Scope of Work The scope of work included holding in consultation with UNDP NCER Team to develop a training course outline, develop a training manual and deliver a training course to enhance capacity of UNDP CO Programme Staff and implementing partners under the Nature, Climate, Energy Resilience Portfolio. The training manual will focus on gender, environment, climate and energy issues. The training manual will be delivered using a mixture of face-to-face and virtual delivery methodologies. |
