Overview

UNCDF Global Municipal Investment Financing Programme is designed to increase the ability of local governments and other sub-sovereign entities to address key urbanization challenges through access to sustainable sources of capital financing. The Programme aims to improve resilience and quality of life in LDC cities in Africa and Asia, especially for the poor. In Uganda, MIF will support implementation of the Programme on Integrated Local Finances for Sustainable Urban Development in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (PIFUD). PIFUD aims to strengthen urban governance as well as prosperity and innovation in cities. It is a €4.16 million programme, funded by the European Union and co-led by Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) and the Global Fund for Cities Development (FMDV) over a 4-year period (2019-2023).

The program has allocated financing for at least two solar mini grids to be established in partnership with the host Local Governments and private sector within the GKMA. The grids are hoped to generate at least 100 KWp and connect at least 300 households and cause local economic development impact in the locality.  All the eight GKMA Local Governments are eligible to participate in this project and the selection will be competitive based on quality of concept note, feasibility and the site selected. This component is being implemented by the UN Capital development Fund (UNCDF).

UNCDF is, therefore, seeking for services of consultant to support the LG’s and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development in the design of the two solar minigrids in partnership with private sector mini-grid energy providers.  The assignments among others involves;  identification of appropriate sites, design, development of technical standards, bills of quantities, procurement and supervision of the two minigrids works in the greater Kampala

UNDP will hire a National   Individual Consultant to Design two Mini-Solar Grids, Develop Technical Specifications and Supervise Grid Installation in the Greater Kampala
