Development of project documentation for Full-Sized LDCF project “Climate-resilient Banjul: Enhancing Urban Resilience in the Greater Banjul Area (CLIMB)”

The United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON), on behalf of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), invites qualified interested firms to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to participate in the upcoming solicitation for the development of project documentation for Full-Sized LDCF project “Climate-resilient Banjul: Enhancing Urban Resilience in the Greater Banjul Area (CLIMB)”. The timeline for the assignment is from August 2024 to 30 December 2025 with the main drafting to be done between August 2024 and March 2025. The source of Funds for this project is the Least Developed Countries Fund. The project is focused on enhancing the climate resilience of communities in the Greater Banjul Area (GBA) by scaling up investments in urban ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) solutions. The project interventions will be designed to reduce the vulnerability of urban communities to the intensifying impacts of climate change, including floods, changing rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, droughts, and increasing temperatures, which together are exacerbating existing environmental and societal challenges. Within the GBA, the most significant climate change impacts are associated with floods, rising sea levels, droughts and heatwaves. The proposed project should be aligned with existing initiatives, such as the West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program (WACA) – funded by the World Bank, to foster synergy and facilitate landscape-level transformative change. Interested bidders should have a high standard of written English. All project documents and annexes will be written in English. The complete details of the requirement will be provided in the tender documents that will be issued to bidders after this request for EOI is closed.
