Based on its Regional Development Cooperation Program 2022-2025 the Swiss Cooperation Office South Caucasus (SCO SC) is mandated to increase its engagement in Armenia in the area of Climate resilience and sustainable resource management. Outcome 4 of the Program 2022-2025 states that "national and local governments, CSOs, academia and private sector actors in ARM, AZE and GEO improve environmental-related results through climate action and resource management, whilst participating in and learning from regional exchanges and platforms, and contributing to global environmental policies and priorities".
Against this mandate the SCO SC in Armenia seeks to explore the possibilities to design and implement a project Better governance and private sector development for climate change resilience in ARM (tentative title/subject to revision) by conducting a feasibility study.
This feasibility study is mandated to propose and concretize the orientation of the contribution by Switzerland as well as explore the opportunities of synergies with other development partners and the Government of Armenia, including the establishment of a common strategic framework for action which aims at uniting and operationalizing shared visions, compatible objectives, intentions and funds. For the details please see the Terms of Reference document (PDF, 15 Pages, 293.1 kB, English).
The study will either be conducted by a consortium composed of an international consultant and a local consultant, or by a team composed of a team leader (either international or local), and a subcontractor (in a complementary manner either international or local).
Interested candidates, including consulting firms and individual consultants, are invited to send an application package, including the below listed documents, in English to the following email: yerevan@eda.admin.ch by 22nd of July, 2022, 24h (CET time).
