UNOPS Procurement Notice: SANTIAGO NETWORK Call For Proposals: Loss and damage tracking and capacity building in the Republic of Yemen
The Santiago Network Secretariat is pleased to announce this call for proposals to catalyze technical assistance from organizations, bodies, networks and experts (OBNEs) in response to a request from the Republic of Yemen. The Santiago Network was established under the Warsaw International Mechanism for loss and damage (WIM) in 2019 as a mechanism to catalyze technical assistance by relevant OBNEs to avert, minimize and address loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change at the local, national and regional level. The technical assistance is for developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. The Santiago Network Secretariat is co-hosted by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS). This Santiago Network call for proposals is managed by UNOPS as a co-host of the Santiago Network Secretariat. This technical assistance aims to support national efforts to address loss and damage associated with climate change in line with Yemen’s climate and disaster risk management priorities. The activities to be implemented will help strengthen the Republic of Yemen’s national and local capacities to avert, minimise and address climate-related loss and damage with a focus on systems for data collection, documentation and analysis. It will support national institutions and local actors to better assess, document and respond to loss and damage, thus contributing to national goals of improving evidence-based planning, reducing climate vulnerability and strengthening early recovery systems across sectors.
