DFID 8030 Policy and Institutions Facility (PIF) - NEPAL - Contract

Tender description

DFID is seeking a supplier to act as a Policy and Institutions Facility (PIF) for the 'Climate Smart Development for Nepal' and 'Strengthening Disaster Resilience in Nepal' programmes. Over the programme lifetime the PIF will critically assess and take actions to address key constraints to Nepal's disaster risk and climate change policy and institutional framework. By building the systems for Government of Nepal to lead on disaster resilience and climate change, the PIF will help to deliver a sustained and transformational impact on Nepal's resilience to climate disasters and earthquakes beyond the beneficiaries directly supported through programme activities. DFID is seeking a supplier that can demonstrate a responsive and flexible approach. The political economy environment in Nepal is complex. This is most clearly manifested in the high frequency of staff turnover in the Nepal civil service, an ongoing context of political instability, and the complex institutional landscape for resilience policy and implementation. It will also be critical for THE SUPPLIER to embed rolling, consistent analysis in their approach. Deep contextual understanding is important, and it will be important to continually reflect on this.
