CONSULTANCY SERVICE FOR NATIONAL CLIMATE AND COASTAL ADAPTATION CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT BASELINE STUDIES OF COASTAL COMMUNITIES & THEIR ADAPTATION NEEDS

OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
The general objective of the consultancy is to perform a baseline study to inform the content of the Community Actions Plans
(CAPs), including consultations with coastal communities to determine the specific adaptation needs of communities in each
district in coherence with outcome 2 of the project objectives.

SCOPE OF WORK:
The consultancy will cover the six project communities/districts, including Sebeh, downtown Mississippi, Bafu Bay, Pungbor,
Nanakru, and Tournata. The process involves collecting baseline data on livelihood and adaptation options, historical mapping,
documentation of the communities' coastal resources, and identifying harvesting zones, biodiversity hotspots, erosion zones,
agricultural grounds, etc. Data collected from this exercise will inform the development of the coastal CAPs, which will provide
guidelines for coastal communities to participate in monitoring coastal ecosystems and their services and adopting new
livelihood and adaptation opportunities. The CAPs will encompass the creation of a framework that enables participatory
monitoring of coastal and river ecosystems and their services by local communities to the inclusive mapping of resources while
tailoring the method, application, evaluation, and verification of these resources and with a focus on each community economic
viability and strategy for harnessing. Click to apply online
