Background:

The project titled ‘Climate Change Adaptation in Rural Areas of India’(CCA-RAI), being implemented under the bilateral cooperation of MoEFCC and GIZ, aims to integrate climate adaptation and mitigation measures into national and state development planning through capacity development, generating pilot experiences on adaptation and knowledge management. One important focus area under CCA-RAI is to support identified States/UTs in accessing international/ national climate funds for adaptation action at the State level.

Objective:

Adaptation finance is being primarily mobilized from public sector, international funding sources, development finance institutions etc. While examples of private sector investment in adaptation do exist, there is still a need for creating wider awareness and capacity building for development of new and innovative adaptation projects at scale that can be supported through private sector financing. In this context, GIZ invites proposals for the assignment “Developing a guidebook for preparation of adaptation projects with alternate funding options through private sector”. The objective is to develop a guidebook to facilitate preparation of adaptation project proposals as well as providing guidance on alternate funding options with the focus on private sector.

Tasks of the assignment:

1. Review of sectoral/ thematic focus and target groups/ beneficiaries of key adaptation/ DRR/ NRM projects funded through NAFCC, international sources like GCF, development financing institutions to assess potential for private sector engagement
2. Review national and international experiences on private sector engagement in adaptation/DRR related projects.
3. Interview stakeholders involved in the development and implementation of the adaptation projects and draft recommendations for design and implementation of climate change adaptation projects.
4. List and elaborate the steps to design and implement climate change adaptation/DRR projects—the guidebook should be organized to cover a typical development project cycle and must provide guidance on climate analysis at each stage along with case studies.
5. Provide recommendations for scaling up of climate change adaptation/DRR financing.
6. Document best practices on private sector engagement on projects related to adaptation/ DRR for wider dissemination and to create an enabling environment.
