10004007 1-Provision of Technical Expert Support on Climate Change Adaptation and Climate Finance in Central and West Africa
In this work package, the contractor in collaboration with the African Development Bank will identify and work with project applicants from the pool of projects generated by the national climate funds, financed by GIZ. The contractor and AfDB will identify small-scale high-impact highly replicable climate change adaptation demonstration projects, that are suitable for AfDB"s Adaptation Benefits Mechanism (ABM), seeking to mobilize higher amounts of funding than available through the PACO small grants from Output 3. The specific objective is to establish and implement four new and fully validated ABM-Projects, developed according to the ABM Activity Cycle, that will catalyse up to four million Euro of public or private money via the issuance of Certified Adaptation Benefits (CAB). The basis for the four ABM Projects to develop are the identified projects from Output 3 suitable for an ABM Activity. To obtain the CABs, issued by the AfDB and the goal of the activity, the contractor must in collaboration with AfDB, guide the ABM Activity Participants during the ABM Activity Cycle. Both the small-scale adaptation project, implemented by the project developer under Output 3 and financed by GIZ (responsibility of GIZ), and the demonstration of the ABM must be fully implemented within the project duration (responsibility of the contractor). The contractor will be responsible for undertaking all activities necessary to establish and demonstrate four ABM Activities, in Benin, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Republic of Congo, which will lead to the issuance of Certified Adaptation Benefits by the African Development Bank. The contractor accordingly will deliver advisory services, technical and process-related assistance, deliver basic studies, and develop ABM Methodologies during the ABM Activity Cycle to the four identified ABM Participants. The African Development Bank will provide guidance and advise on the ABM components. Promote and catalyse adaptation financing in Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, and Senegal This work package outlines the activities required to develop a pipeline of climate change adaptation projects using the IsDB's financial instruments in Benin, Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal in cooperation with relevant national stakeholders to leverage through catalysation additional adaptation finance (up to 50 Mio. EUR from public and private investors). The objective is (1) to build a strong pipeline of IsDB projects in the three countries that are adapted and/or with a main objective of addressing adaptation challenges in relevant sectors, building from PACO small grant projects (Output 3), and NAP/NDC investment plans developed or revised under Output 1, and (2) to facilitate capacity building to strengthen the institutional capacity of financial institutions. The contractor will be responsible, in coordination with IsDB and GIZ, for deploying a series of country-level consultation workshops to firm up and engage with relevant public and private actors for the strengthening of IsDB project pipelines in Benin, Ivory Coast and Senegal with high adaptation finance potential. In addition, the contractor will prepare and implement relevant studies, including gender, socio-economic and environmental analyses supporting the economic case for IsDB intervention in sectors relevant to the countries" NAPs and adaptation-related NDCs or based on existing NAP/NDC investment plans. Establishment of four Reverse Linkages and one centre of excellence in collaboration with IsDB This work package focuses on the establishment of four Reverse Linkages in the PACO program with four different host-institutions. Reverse linkages are a mechanism developed by the Islamic Development Bank to establish partnerships between institutions in countries in the global South. In each partnership an institution with proven knowledge, expertise, technology, and resources is the provider of knowledge; the recipient of knowledge can be a public, private, or third-sector organization. The institutions involved must be IsDB members; this limits PACO participation to Benin, Ivory Coast and Senegal, and to the CCRS , since the Republic of Congo is not a member of the IsDB. The contractor will support IsDB to conduct a stakeholder assessment in each of the three member countries to identify interest and needs among institutions in the three target countries in being the recipient organization in a reverse linkage relationship. Where this offers a good opportunity, the contractor will, with help and consent of the IsDB, identify knowledge-providing institutions (the "Resources-Centre") to work with the concerned institutions and will facilitate planning and establishing the partnerships. The resulting partnerships may offer a range of services to recipient countries, including training, coaching, advisory services, technology transfer, demo sites, and others. Once set up, the partnerships usually last for a period of three years, so the process will be carried out during the life of the PACO project. Furthermore, the contractor will help IsDB to identify and set up regional or national Centres of Excellence (institutions highly specialized and leading in technology, finance, etc.) to potentially host more Reverse Linkages and to facilitate the flow of information. The contractor will accordingly assess the capacity needs of the target countries, identify the centres of excellence, accomplish the installation of four Reverse Linkages and implement capacity development plans with the support of IsDB. If appropriate, the IsDB will establish a reverse linkage between CCRS and a centre of excellence in another IsDB member country, to help build Commission capacity. This possibility will be considered by the Commission and the Bank during the inception phase of the PACO project. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHEschbornFrist: 21.

Scaling Up Implementation and Institutional Capacity for Energy Management Systems (EnMS) in Pakistan
The services to be provided in the context of this call for tenders support the scaling up of Energy Management Systems (EnMS) in municipal organisations in Pakistan, with a particular focus on water supply and sanitation companies. The consultancy services will focus on strengthening the implementation and institutional capacity for EnMS in close cooperation with partner municipal organisations and relevant national and provincial government agencies and departments. These consultancy services will be delivered from the start of the contract until 29.02.2028. The assignment comprises of hands-on technical assistance and continuous advisory support to enable municipal management and energy teams of up to 6 partner municipal organisations to establish, operate, and continuously improve EnMS processes aligned with ISO 50001 principles. This includes support for establishing energy baselines of each partner organisation, regular monitoring and review of the established energy performance indicators (EnPI), corrective action planning, and systematic energy performance improvement. In addition, the consultancy will support partner organisations in the identification, prioritisation, and implementation of energy efficiency (EE) measures within water supply and sanitation infrastructure. This includes the development of technical EE recommendations and advisory support for their implementation. The consultancy will further assist in the preparation of bankable EE project proposals and business cases, including the technical and financial analyses required to mobilise financing for priority EE and EnM investments. To ensure long-term institutionalisation, the consultancy will develop recommendations for organisational development measures to mainstream EnMS within municipal structures. This includes strengthening internal roles and responsibilities, coordination mechanisms, and the integration of EnMS into planning, budgeting, and procurement processes. Advisory support will also be provided for the design and introduction of organisational EE incentive mechanisms to promote energy-efficient behaviour and align staff performance with energy and cost reduction objectives. Capacity development and knowledge exchange form a core component of the assignment. The aim is to ensure that, by the end of the project, municipal experts, managers, and decision-makers are equipped in terms of technical capacities to mainstream EnMS independently within Pakistan"s water supply and sanitation services. This objective remains central to all capacity development measures implemented under the assignment. Based on a structured capacity needs assessment and a corresponding capacity development strategy, the consultancy will develop relevant knowledge products and implement tailored capacity development activities, including trainings, workshops, and knowledge exchange activities, among others. These measures will strengthen competencies in EnMS implementation, energy data management and analysis, EnPI-based decision-making, EE intervention design, monitoring and verification, and the institutional embedding of EnM within municipal governance processes. To support scaling and dissemination of results and international and national best municipal EnM best practices, the consultancy will organise a national conference on municipal EnM as a platform for knowledge exchange and dialogue among sector stakeholders. Furthermore, advisory inputs will be provided to contribute to an enabling framework for EnMS, including recommendations for policy and institutional support measures at national and provincial levels. Lastly, the consultancy will implement a hands-on training programme for recently graduated women engineers in the field of EnM and EnMS to strengthen their technical competencies and promote their participation in Pakistan"s energy sector by enhancing their employability. The working packages listed are indicative and may be adapted in response to partner needs and evolving framework conditions. The contractor is expected to provide flexible, demand-driven advisory services within the defined scope of expertise and to ensure regular reporting and structured coordination with the project throughout contract implementation. In order to provide the service, the contractor should put together a sufficiently large, qualified, and experienced team of experts based on the required expertise, with a focus on ensuring adequate on-ground time to provide the necessary hand-holding and continued support for the implementation of project activities with the selected municipal partners. The team should also be able to engage with the selected political counterparts to be covered. The proposal for the tender should outline the strategy for task fulfilment, specifying personnel roles and the overarching internal management concept to be used as the basis for processing orders, including financial backstopping. Part of the fulfilment of the contract includes regular reporting to the project on progress made in achieving the objectives. The regular exchange between the project and the consultants begins at the start of the contract and includes weekly or bi-weekly reflection sessions, which can be adjusted to a different frequency if needed.
