UNICEF Procurement Notice: For development of national service standards and guidelines for climate-resilient rural water supply and capacitating partners on climate finance.
Title Development of national service standards and guidelines for climate-resilient rural water supply and capacitating partners on climate finance LTA No. Purpose To develop national service standards for climate-resilient water supply in rural communities of Bangladesh.[MA1] To develop national guidelines for climate-resilient water supply for rural communities, which translate the standards into action. Together, they will guide the sector towards building a more resilient, low-carbon WASH sector in the face of climate change.[MA2] To train the sector in standards and guidelines and climate finance, which will build capacities and facilitate access to additional sources of future funding.[MA3] Location UNICEF Bangladesh Country Office (BCO) in Dhaka, Bangladesh Estimated Duration 05-month period[MA4] (from the date of signature) Reporting to Technical Supervisor of this assignment WASH Specialist, WASH Section Background Bangladesh, a low-lying deltaic country, is among the most climate-vulnerable countries globally. It ranks 9th lowest on the ND-Gain Index (2023), which measures countries’ vulnerability and readiness to climate change.[1] In the INFORM Climate Change Index, which works with climate projections and their impact on the vulnerability of a country, confirms this trend since Bangladesh is in the 25 countries most at risk under all climate scenarios.[2] In particular, the climate scenarios SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 for 2030 and 2050 predict continued temperature and sea level rises. Rainfall events are likely to become less frequent but more intense and concentrated during the monsoon season. The number of hot days and heatwaves is projected to rise. The frequency and especially intensity of extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, are expected to increase further (see Figure 1 for past trends).[3][4] Figure 1: Number of disasters and people affected in Bangladesh, 2000-2024 (own illustration, based on EM-Dat data) These climate change induced developments have manifold (in-)direct impacts on the WASH sector. For instance, floods and cyclones frequently damage water points and sanitation infrastructure, rendering them unusable, contaminating drinking water sources, and exposing communities to waterborne diseases. Droughts can lead to cross-sectoral competition for water, depletion of groundwater, and water stress or increase the concentration of pollutants and force people to choose between drinking from unsafe sources or fetch water from further away, which often burdens women or children. In flood-prone areas, sanitation and hygiene facilities may be destroyed or inaccessible, leading to alternatives (e.g., open defecation), which compromise their health, safety, and dignity. Particularly affected are women, children, and other vulnerable groups. Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 2: Access to basic WASH services per district (own illustration based on MICS 2019 district data) According to the INFORM Risk Index 2024, exposure (15th out of 191 countries) is the main problem, which drives Bangladesh’s climate risk. The country is performing better in the vulnerability (29th) and especially coping capacity (82nd) dimensions.[5] In other words, the country has resources to address the adverse effects of climate change but must ensure that these are invested sustainably. The government has invested in climate-resilient WASH services to counter the adverse effects. Solutions include solarization, elevated or floating latrines, deep tubewells, rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment plants, or early warning systems. However, progress lags the reality. According to MICS 2025 data, 10.2% of water points and 5.2% of latrines were affected by natural disasters in the past 12 months.[6] In 2024, more than 18 million people were affected by floods and cyclones, with at least 40,000 water points and 540,000 latrines partially damaged or fully destroyed.[7][8] These numbers illustrate the high susceptibility of the WASH sector to climate stressors. If this situation is not addressed, the progress made over the past decades illustrated in Figure [HH5] 2 could be slowed down or even reversed over time. Besides decreasing WASH funding (-40.2% for FY 2025-26 compared to FY 2022-23)[9] and a yearly gap of USD 26.5 billion in climate financing in Bangladesh[10], the lack of national standards and guidelines for the provision of climate-resilient WASH services is a reason for a high climate risk in the sector. As a result, climate resilience might be defined and implemented differently for every project, depending on the human and financial resources available. This limits interventions’ quality, scalability, and sustainability. Standardization is essential to ensure high quality and consistency in design, implementation, and monitoring of WASH infrastructure. This is particularly the case in climate-vulnerable zones since adaptations to the business-as-usual procedure are needed. Standards and guidelines will also facilitate the alignment across all stakeholders, enhance cost-effectiveness, and ensure that marginalized groups’ needs are systematically addressed. If investments across the whole economy do not address the problem sufficiently, the overall losses from climate change can reach beyond 4.9% of GDP or USD 30 billion per year by 2030.[11] In November 2024, the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) Climate Action Task Team published a global definition of “climate-resilient WASH” and UNICEF, the WHO, and academic partners, are currently drafting a list of indicators to set a benchmark for climate-resilient WASH monitoring. The momentum created by these initiatives can be used and translated to the country level by developing national service standards and guidelines for climate-resilient water supply for rural communities in Bangladesh. These will not only be a strategic imperative and contribute to the efficient allocation of resources to sustainable projects, which safeguard public health and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but also a moral obligation to protect the most vulnerable such as children, women, or minorities. To complement this measure and contribute to filling the above-mentioned funding gap, the WASH sector will be trained on the topic of climate finance. This will contribute to its capacity in accessing additional funding in the future. It complements the standards and guidelines by enabling the sector to access additional funds. < >Objectives, Purpose and Expected ResultsTo develop national service standards and guidelines for climate-resilient water supply for rural communities, which set a benchmark to effectively address climate change impacts to Bangladesh’s WASH sector.To capacitate the sector on the new standards and guidelines to ensure their practical application across the WASH sector.To capacitate the sector on climate finance to structurally address financing gaps.[MA6] < >To develop national service standards for climate-resilient water supply in rural communities of Bangladesh.To develop national guidelines for climate-resilient water supply for rural communities, which translate the standards into action.

Deliverables This assignment consists of four main deliverables: < >“National service standards for climate-resilient rural water supply”: This document summarizes already existing national standards around water supply for communities in rural contexts. Also, it adapts them to Bangladesh’s climate reality and international standards, as applicable and needed. To achieve high acceptance in Bangladesh’s WASH sector and ensure future application, they should be elaborated in a participative process with key sectoral stakeholders.“National guidelines for climate-resilient rural water supply”: This document translates standards into practice and provides guidance to government officials and practitioners on how this is best done. The guidelines will include detailed guidance on:Conducting climate risk assessments (e.g., incl. usage of qualitative/quantitative data, sources of data, extent of assessment for various purposes);Conducting vulnerability and needs assessments (incl. how the two have to be combined);Proven solutions tailored to the specific climate risk and needs;Developing effective monitoring and evaluation frameworks (e.g., indicator development);Ensuring sustainability of measures (e.g., O&M, social/environmental dimensions etc.);Other aspects as required. Checklists will make the guidelines practicable in the government’s work. < >Capacity building materials and sessions on the standards and guidelines: This component requires designing and conducting in-person capacity building sessions to facilitate the understanding and application of the developed standards and guidelines (incl. checklists). [ML7] Participants could include a few key personnel from the central level (e.g., DPHE Superintendent Engineer as focal point, two Executive Engineers R&D and Training) and focus on decentralized government officials from key and climate-affected districts (e.g., Feni, Satkhira), who will be using the standards and guidelines in their daily work (i.e., Territorial Executive Engineer at district level and (Sub-)Assistant Engineers at upazila level).Capacity [ML8] building materials and sessions on climate finance: In the context of Bangladesh and the WASH sector, this component requires designing and conducting three days of in-person c[HH9] apacity building on the topic of climate finance. One day should focus on building a theoretical fundament, two days will engage participants in the practical application of knowledge. Thereby, interactive elements and a high practicability and contextualization to Bangladesh and the WASH sector are crucial to engage participants and create a sustainable learning effect. Participants will include government officials from the MoLGRD&C from the central level (e.g., Project Directors and their deputies or executive engineers, Superintendent Engineer Planning, and key personnel from the DPHE Planning Wing and LGD Planning Wing). Personnel from the Department of Environment, Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change, Economic Relations Division (ERD) of Ministry of Finance, and the Physical Infrastructure Division under Planning Commission (Ministry of Planning) could help in facilitating the group work and fostering cross-ministerial relations.[16], the globally adopted definition of climate-resilient WASH (SWA, 2024)[17], or the global set of indicators to monitor and measure progress on climate-resilient WASH (ongoing)[18] should be used as a basis and reference. For example, the latter with over 600 indicators in the first draft can serve as a basis when compiling the monitoring and evaluation section of the guidelines. Some standards and guidelines for WASH already exist. One of the main tasks for the standards will be to adapt them to evolving climate realities of Bangladesh and form a sectoral, broadly accepted consensus. This is crucial since the values (e.g., for water quality or quantity) set by the Government of Bangladesh and international institutions (e.g., WHO) can differ. Moreover, the new climate change realities should be considered while deliberating on the standards. Similarly, the local context and climate change elements are central in the development of the guidelines. Finally, they should also address cross-cutting issues such as principles of inclusivity (e.g., gender, disability, old age), environmental and social safeguards (ESS), accountability to affected populations (AAP), or sustainability (e.g., O&M). To complement these efforts, capacity building sessions will train key sectoral partners on the two new documents as well as the topic of climate finance. While the sessions on the standards and guidelines can be combined, the ones on climate finance should be separate and take up elements relevant to the level of knowledge of partners in the WASH sector. For the latter, the topics should be determined based on a needs assessment. Examples for the one-day theoretical part include (1) an overview in the context of Bangladesh (e.g., definition of climate finance, traditional and innovative climate finance sources/instruments being used, international best practices), (2) accessing the carbon market or integration in Bangladesh’s carbon market framework, or (3) on other innovative financing vehicles (e.g., blended finance and guarantee models, green bonds). Examples for the two-day practical part could consist of capacitating participants in accessing climate funds (e.g., through proposal writing or elaborating a viable blended financing model for the WASH sector in Bangladesh). For the example of proposal writing, such a training could introduce partners to the underlying language of proposal writing, core principles, usual sections of a proposal (e.g., from the climate rationale to the suggested solutions), and other aspects as identified. Accompanying that, one way to make the sessions more interactive could be to task small groups to draft and present the sections of a proposal for a pre-defined climate change problem and geographical area. Methodology The development should proceed according to a sound methodology, which is to be developed and presented to UNICEF. While the contracted agency will be responsible to propose the methodology, the following are to be considered as minimum requirements to incorporate. As described above, it should at least include a review of the existing national and global standards, guidelines, and other documents, which will build the fundament of the standards and guidelines. Gaps should be filled based on national and international expertise and best practices. Consultations with WASH experts, the government, and development partners/CSOs will identify these. The discussions will also reveal the extent to which elements of climate-resilient WASH are currently already considered in practice. It is[MA10] expected that the implementing partner will engage with various stakeholders, including relevant ministry officials (e.g., MoLGRD&C, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC)), WASH and climate sector experts from (I)NGOs, academia, and the community, and others as needed. To ensure local contextualization and ownership by the Government of Bangladesh and the sector, a close collaboration with the technical committee formed by the MoLGRD&C throughout the whole development and one sector consultation at national level with key WASH and climate stakeholders is essential. Finally, to ensure the practicability of the guidelines, a few focus group consultations or key informant interviews should be held with subnational government partners (e.g., territorial executive engineer at district level and (sub-)assistant engineer at upazila level) and sector stakeholders. For the capacity building on climate finance, UNICEF and sectoral partners should be consulted to narrow down the most relevant topics. Based on the preliminary exploration, capacity building materials and sessions will be developed and conducted. < >Deliverables and payment schedule SL Major Taks and Deliverables Timeline (Feb-June 2026) Payment I: Conceptualization phase 1.1 Identification of relevant national and international guiding documents for the standards and guidelines February 10% 1.2 Identification of tentative structure for standards and guidelines 1.3 Prepare inception report and present to technical working committee for review and endorsement 1.4 Finalization of inception report 1.5 Identification of relevant climate finance topics through desk research/meetings II: Desk review and consultation phase 2.1 First draft: populate the preliminary structure and draft a comprehensive overview of both documents February-March 20% 2.2 Present the first draft in a sector consultation with WASH and climate experts from (I)NGOs and academia as well as officials from the line ministry and departments 2.3 Conducting focus group consultations or key informant interviews with subnational stakeholders III: Drafting phase 3.1 Second draft: refining the standards and guidelines (incl. checklists) with feedback based on the sector consultation and subnational feedback March-June 60% 3.2 Design/organize training and materials for standards/guidelines 3.3 Design/organize training and materials on climate finance 3.4 Validation workshop to present to the technical working committee for review of the standards, guidelines, and training materials 3.5 Final document: finalizing, designing, and publishing of the standards, guidelines (incl. checklists), and training materials 3.6 Presentation to Water and Sanitation Forum for review/approval IV: Capacity building phase 4.1 Conduct training on the standards and guidelines June 10% 4.2 Conduct training on climate finance < >Reporting requirementsInception Report with proposed methodology within 2 weeks of signing the contract; At least three progress presentations to the technical working group committee;Minutes of meetings within 2 days after the meetings;Drafting of standards and guidelines finalized through sector consultation at national and subnational (i.e., focus group consultation or key informant interviews) level;Draft of final standards, guidelines, and training material (incl. on climate finance) presented to and reviewed by technical working committee;Final standards and guidelines presented to Water and Sanitation Forum for approval;Training on standards, guidelines and climate finance conducted and training report prepared and shared with LGD, PSB and UNICEF.Qualification requirement of the company/institution/organizationTeam Lead / Project Manager Technical WASH ExpertClimate Resilience SpecialistClimate Finance specialist Team Lead / Project Manager Role: Overall coordination, stakeholder engagement, quality assurance, alignment with other national and international standards and guidelines, and reporting.Experience: Advanced university degree in Civil/Water Resource/Environment/Public Health/Sanitary Engineering, a climate change-related, or related field.A minimum of 10 years of experience in development work, preferably in the WASH sector coupled with climate resilience and/or policy making.Strong understanding of Bangladesh’s WASH and climate policy environment, sector challenges, and institutional landscape.Experience working with UN agencies, donor-funded projects, government institutions, and international NGOs.Proficiency in English, both written and spoken.Excellent writing and communication skills, including the ability to summarize dense information and data in clear, compact, and accessible formats.Strong computer skills, including PowerPoint, Excel, and data visualization tools. < >Technical WASH ExpertRole: Lead the drafting of technical standards and guidelines for WASH services and ensure technical feasibility/compliance with sector norms for each WASH component.Experience: Advanced university degree in the areas of Civil/Water Resource/Environment/Public Health/Sanitary Engineering.A minimum of 10 years of experience in water supply, sanitation, and hygiene systems.Familiarity with (inter-)national policies/guidelines/regulatory frameworks on WASH and climate-resilient WASH (e.g., UNICEF, WHO, Sphere).Adequate knowledge of the country’s geo-socio-economic and political context.

The purpose should be ' To develop Climate resilient national WASH service standard for communities in rural areas of Bangladesh towards building a more resilient, low-carbon nation in the face of climate change. ' [MA2]To develop a conceptual framework, which will be translated into action through development of Climate resilient national WASH guidelines developed. Together, they will guide the government and its partners to ensure climate resilient WASH service delivery for communities sin rural areas of Bangladesh. [MA3]To train GoB line ministries and DPHE officials on climate finance builds capacities and facilitates access to additional sources for future funding. [MA4]I am in doute if they can complete 3 tasks in 3 months considering volume of work and GoB bureaucratic process in approving document and orienting training. This should be 6 months at least. May be men days is low spread over 6-7 months. [HH5]Hardly readable, should we not increase the size of the figure 2? [MA6]Please revise purpose based on above feedback [ML7]Add target group [ML8]Scope and depth of capacity building The suggested 3–4 sessions are ambitious given the very broad topic list (overview, fund access, carbon markets, innovative instruments) and the risk of superficial coverage. ToR should require prioritizing topics based on a brief needs assessment. - Already mentioned in methodology part, repeated here to clarify. No explicit requirement to generate draft funding concepts or pipelines during the training, which would make the learning more applied. - Valuable input, element added. Target audience and institutional focus “Key sectoral partners” and broad stakeholder lists are cited, but the ToR does not clearly distinguish between audiences for standards/guidelines vs climate finance training (policy, planning, finance, implementers). - Needs to be discussed. For climate finance, it would need to be located at central level - What about standards/guidelines, would it make sense to include decentralized actors as well? Ministries and agencies central to climate/development finance (e.g., ERD, Planning Commission) are not clearly required as core participants in the climate finance sessions. - It would be more sectoral partners (i.e., DPHE, PSB, etc.) who are required. ERD and so on already have capacity but it is lacking at the line ministries. Design of training No specification on duration, group size, modality (in-person/online), or pre-/post-assessment, which weakens clarity on expected training intensity and quality control. - We wanted to keep it vague since we are not sure on the format yet. How shall we handle this point? We could include something on pre-/post-assessment? Results and sustainability Output 4 result (“capacity … is enhanced”) is vague; no suggested indicators or milestones (e.g., number of draft concept notes, improved test scores, institutional action plans) - We wanted to keep it vague since we are not sure on the format yet. How shall we handle this point? [HH9]Very ambitious to have 3 - 4 sessions. Organization a session is a lot of work. Would it not be possible to centralize around one event with potentially 2 days. [MA10]MoLGRD&C has already formed multi-sectoral, WASH and Climate sector professional expert technical working to review and finalization of the CR WASG standard and guidelines and recommend for reification by WS Forum. They agency will present their progress time to time to this committee and submit draft document for review and recommendation for approval by WS Forum (chair by Hon'ble Secretary, LGD).
