National Consultants to Support the Development of Provincial Implementation Plans for UN-REDD Phase 2

The UNDP Viet Nam seeks 02 national consultants to support the Development of Provincial Implementation Plans for UN-REDD Phase 2.

The UN-REDD programme for Viet Nam seeks to address deforestation and forest degradation through capacity building at national and local levels. Firstly, it will build capacity at the national level to permit the Government of Viet Nam, and especially the REDD focal point in the Department of Forestry (VNForest) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), to coordinate and manage the process of establishing tools to implement a REDD programme. Secondly, it will build capacity at local levels (provincial, district and commune) through pilots in two districts in Lam Dong province that demonstrate effective approaches to planning and implementing measures to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. Regional displacement of emissions is known to be a significant problem in the lower Mekong Basin. If REDD is to be implemented effectively so as to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation within the Lower Mekong Basin, as a contribution to global efforts in this regard, there will be a need for coordinated regional action.
Having implemented a UN-REDD Country Programme, the GoV is now moving into Phase 2 of REDD+ implementation by demonstrating a provincial planning based approach to REDD+ under the National REDD+ Programme, with 9-12 pilot provinces across the country.  It is anticipated that 6 of these pilot provinces will be supported through a UN-REDD Phase 2 initiative.

The primary objective of the service is to support the process of finalizing the UN-REDD Phase 2 proposal

The selection will be based on a competitive basis and will comply with UNDP procurement regulations.
