The purpose of this consultancy is the following:
1) The (updated) Climate Landscape Analysis for Children in Cabo Verde (CLAC), identifying the most pressing climate, environmental and natural hazard threats facing children and the best ways to address them, and their rights.
2) Develop a Child protection and Climate-resilient Action Plan in accordance with the updated CLAC as a basis of a country-level child-focused sustainability strategy for planning and engagement, including government policy and resource support.
The main objective of this consultancy is two-fold:
- Undertaking a CLAC to understand the overall climate, environment, energy, and disaster risk reduction (CEED) landscape in terms of data, policy, programming, gaps, key stakeholders, etc. and how it relates to children’s rights and UNICEF results in order to identify priority areas for further analysis and integration, based on established methodologies and approaches developed by UNICEF.
- Develop an Action Plan in accordance with the CLAC as a basis of a country-level child-focused integrated sustainability strategy (climate-resilient child protection and risk reduction program document, leading to a cohesive programmatic instrument and resource mobilization tool). This should include actionable recommendations for action both at the policy level (e.g. engagement of Cabo Verde in the SIDS agenda), as well as implementation level, within the framework of ongoing initiatives by the Government and international partners.
Identify expertise and tools to be included to ensure UNICEF’s targeted contribution to a Joint Program on DRR being developed under the leadership of UNDP.
