ICIMOD is currently implementing the Himalayan Resilience Enabling Action Programme (HI-REAP), a component of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s (FCDO) Climate Action for Resilient Asia (CARA) initiative. The programme aims to build a more cohesive and enabling regional environment for greener and more inclusive climate-resilient development pathways, creating the right policy and practice recommendations, and the institutional and investment environment to scale up new solutions. These solutions will be co-designed, co-tested, and promoted across a range of contexts in the Himalayan region.

One key focus area of HI-REAP is the wider-scale adoption of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and promotion of them as key climate solutions. This requires close engagement with national and sub-national government institutions, communities, and regional and international partners to secure buy-in. HI-REAP’s work on NbS is well aligned with ICIMOD’s Strategic Group ‘Resilient Mountain Economies and Landscapes’ (hereafter referred as SG-2)’, which focuses on delivering environmentally sustainable, but economically viable and socially inclusive solutions through different interventions and projects. As part of NbS for green livelihoods, this assignment will focus on agroecology and bioprospecting. This intervention is housed in Action Area C ‘Adapting and transforming livelihoods and economies’ under the domain of SG-2.

The completed proposal should be submitted through email to consultancy.int@icimod.org by 5 PM (Nepal Standard Time), 24 September 2024. Two separate files of technical and financial proposals should be submitted.
