[DevJobsIndo] Request For Proposals (RFP) No. Req-Jakarta-0333 CLIMATE CHANGE TECHNICAL WRITER For Water Supply VA&AP Summary Report 2 PDAMs (PDAM Kabupaten Jeneponto and PDAM Kabupaten Bantaeng), South Sulawesi Province
Dear All,
DAI, the implementer of the “USAID-funded Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (IUWASH)
Project” invites qualified offerors to submit proposals to supply and deliver
“CLIMATE
CHANGE TECHNICAL WRITER For Water Supply VA&AP Summary Report 2 PDAMs (PDAM
Kabupaten Jeneponto and PDAM Kabupaten Bantaeng), South Sulawesi Province” in support of program implementation. The Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and
Hygiene (USAID IUWASH) Project (or the “Project”) is a sixty-month program
funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and
implemented under the leadership of DAI. USAID IUWASH works with government,
the private sector, NGOs, community groups and other stakeholders to improve
access to safe water supply and sanitation in Indonesia’s urban areas. The
overall goal of USAID IUWASH is to assist the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in
making significant progress in achieving its safe water and sanitation
Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets by expanding access to these
services. The expected results to be achieved are: 2 million people in urban
areas gain access to improved water supply; 250,000 people in urban areas gain
access to improved sanitation facilities; and the per unit water cost paid by
the poor in targeted areas decreases by at least 20%. To achieve the above,
assistance provided by the project is divided under three main technical
components, including:
- Mobilizing
demand for water supply and sanitation service delivery; - Improving
and expanding capacity for water and sanitation service delivery; and - Strengthening policy and
the financial enabling environment for improved water supply and
sanitation service delivery.
An
important element of the second component is to provide assistance to local
governments and water utilities to better manage and protect raw water
supplies—i.e. improved “water security”—specifically as the twin forces of
economic development and climate change place increasing pressure on these
finite resources. In many ways, municipal water utilities are on the front line
of efforts to mitigate or adapt to the wide-ranging effects of climate change.
Towards this end, the IUWASH Project is working with water utilities to conduct
water supply vulnerability assessments and adaptation plans. This work is in accordance with Outcome IC-4: “At least 20 PDAMs implementing necessary
climate change adaptation measures based on preliminary raw water sources
vulnerability assessments.”
Briefly,
under the auspices of the Water Supply Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation
Planning (VA&AP) process, the IUWASH Project:
· 1. Implements a baseline
vulnerability assessment in cooperation with a local partner such as a
university or consulting firm;
· 2. Facilitates a series of
stakeholder workshops to hone in on key natural and physical asset
vulnerabilities and identify priority adaptation options;
· 3. Supports the development of an
Action Plan, including the integration of this plan into PDAM and local
government planning/budgeting documents.
· 4. Compiles a “Summary Report”
that documents the major elements of the process and the final results.
Objective
The objective of this scope of work is to
provide assistance to the IUWASH Project’s climate change team in the
preparation and finalization of the water supply VA&AP summary report for
two PDAMs, namely, Kabupaten Jeneponto
and Kabupaten Bantaeng, South Sulawesi Province. The baseline assessment and
stakeholder workshops are has been done and, as such, the Project team requires
the assistance of a climate change technical writer (hereafter referred to as
“the Consultant”) to compile the “Summary Report” for each of the two
locations.
For those mentioned subject, IUWASH inviting you to submit the proposal, detail Scope of Work (SoW) etc, please see : http://iuwash.or.id/rfp-no-req-jakarta-0333/
Thank you very much for your kind attention
Sincerely yours,
