The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) is seeking experts for the following technical assistance project:

Climate risk assessment for subnational adaptation and establishment of a local climate information system for climate change adaptation (LISA) in Cambodia

Deadline to express the interest: 13 August, 2021

Cambodia is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change and has difficulties in implementing the country’s climate change response due to a lack of available quality-assured information and knowledge on climate change in the country. Significant gaps still remain in creating the conditions for science-based climate-informed decision making, in particular related to the production, access and use of climate information at local levels.

As highlighted in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Cambodia’s vulnerability is characterised by frequent floods and irregular rainfall, coupled with an agrarian-based economy, limited human and financial resources, insufficient physical infrastructure, and limited access to technologies.

The CTCN is seeking experts to design the web-based local information system that can effectively support climate-informed decision making processes at the sub-national (municipality) level, responding to the stakeholders’ needs identified.

A capacity needs assessment and capacity building program will be also developed to ensure a locally-led, effective operation and progressive enhancement, and to maximize utilization of the system by local government authorities and other key stakeholders. Integration of the local climate information/data into the national database and its use for national decision making on climate change response will contribute to enhancing climate resilience in Cambodia.

For this call, the CTCN has initiated a new procurement process through the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON). Interested vendors should forward their Expressions of Interest (EOI) along with the signed vendor response form and qualification documents (included in the attachment) addressing the pre-qualification criteria to: unon-procurement-rfx@un.org with a copy to: jecinta.cheruiyot@un.org.

In case you are not a CTCN network member yet, you may still apply (further details are found in the document).

Please note that this request for expression of interest (EOI) is not an invitation for submission of tenders. Its purpose is to identify companies that would be interested and eligible to participate in the solicitation when issued. Vendors that are deemed qualified upon completion of an objective evaluation of their EOI submission will receive the final tender solicitation documents.
