Position Overview:

The Himalayan Resilience Enabling Action Programme (HI-REAP) is one of the components of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's (FCDO) Climate Action for Resilient Asia (CARA), initiative. HIREAP also has ADB, the World Bank, the UK Met Office and the UNDP Asia Regional Office as other partners.

 

HIREAP comes into ICIMOD’s portfolio as a bilateral project, and it has specific deliverables and output/outcome indicators that are well aligned with several Interventions across the three Strategic Groups.  It therefore requires additional coordination and oversight requirements, and strong cross-strategic group (SG) working.

 

The Senior Project Coordinator - HI-REAP is expected to lead the HIREAP coordination across ICIMOD’s Strategic Groups. This will require ensuring that all the HIREAP components – sitting across all the Action Areas - are delivering against HIREAP results commitments.  This means working closely with the relevant ICIMOD leads in initiating, supporting, and monitoring the quality delivery of all HIREAP activities.  The Senior Project Coordinator will also support ICIMOD's strategic engagement with all CARA partners by identifying collaboration opportunities, as well as being the lead for managing relations between ICIMOD and FCDO on all HIREAP/CARA matters.

Background

The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region stretches 3,500km across Asia, spanning eight countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan. Encompassing high-altitude mountain ranges, mid-hills, and plains, the zone is vital for the food, water, and energy security of up to two billion people and is a habitat for countless irreplaceable species. It is also acutely fragile – and frontline to the impacts of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. 

The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), based in Kathmandu, Nepal, is an international organisation established in 1983, that is working to make this critical region greener, more inclusive and climate resilient.

Applicants are requested to apply online before July 6, 2025 (11:59 PM Nepal Standard Time) through ICIMOD Vacancy Application Portal.

Position Overview:

The Intervention Manager will lead ICIMOD’s work that aims to leverage and attract climate-resilient and green investment into the HKH. The role will require engaging with international funders, including the global climate and environment funds, regional and global finance institutions, multiple public and private-sector partners, including other knowledge partners working in this space.  The role should also look beyond traditional sources of finance, towards private investment, whether through innovative public-private mechanisms, capacity building, or other approaches or instruments. 

This role will require working across and capitalising on synergies with other areas of work within ICIMOD and with partners outside ICIMOD. It means leading what ICIMOD defines as the Intervention on Investment – part of which is funded under UK FCDO’s Himalayan Enabling Resilience Programme, funded under the high-profile Climate Action for a Resilient Asia (CARA) programme, which requires working across UNDP, as well as World Bank, ADB and the UK Met Office, who are also CARA partners.

Position Overview:

The HKH region, marked by diverse socio-economic and cultural contexts, faces escalating climate risks such as floods, GLOFs, landslides, and avalanches. People with disabilities are disproportionately affected, particularly in remote mountain areas where access to information, services, and disaster response is limited. Despite the urgency, data on the intersection of disability and climate risk remains sparse. This study aims to bridge that gap by analysing national and subnational data on persons with disabilities in India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

ICIMOD seeks a consultant/contractor (or a team of consultants) to support a regional analysis on disability and climate risk in the HKH. The consultant will be responsible for identifying, acquiring, cleaning, and formatting relevant national and subnational survey data from India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The data analysis will explore links between disability and socio-economic vulnerability. In addition, the consultant will support the development of an interactive disability map for the HKH region, collaborating with the ICIMOD team to design an interactive visual map on the status of persons with disabilities and their exposure to climate-induced disasters.
