Notification of Award: December 2019
Expected Commencement Date: 1st Jan 2020

Background
Whilst the RMI Ministry of Health and Human Services (MOHHS) has a National Climate Change and Health  Action  Plan  (NCCHAP)  2012  and  have  been  actively  engaged  in addressing  environmental health for many years, it does not have a fully established Environmental Health Unit or a clear climate change and health policy to guide the implementation of the NCCHAP 2012. Thus there is a need to develop a National Climate Change and Health policy supported by a revised Action Plan.

The Government of RMI wishes to have in place a concise, overarching Climate Change and Health Policy that will contribute to climate change resilience. The Policy is to be supported by a 5-year Action Plan with clear objectives, targets and indicators that will improve the coordination and effectiveness of the Environmental Health Unit, located under the Office of Health Planning, Policy Preparedness & Epidemiology in the MOHHS.
Project Summary / Scope of Services
SPC  is  seeking  a  consultant(s)  to  (i)  Conduct  a  review  of  all  relevant  documents  and of  the implementation  of NCCHAP  2012;  (ii)  Participate  in  a  Climate  Change  and Health  Symposium  in January 2020; (iii) Consult with stakeholders and prepare a draft policy supported by an Action Plan with a clear monitoring and evaluation framework; (iv)  Review the draft and prepare final versions of the policy and the action plan.

Expected Outputs:

  1.  Work plan and schedule.
  2.  Short summary of the key findings from the desktop review (approx. 10 pages), list of documents reviewed, short outline of the new policy and a table of contents for the action plan.
  3.  Qualitative assessment report of the 2012 NCCHAPs’ achievements.
  4.  Report on the key outcomes of the Climate Change and Health Symposium on 30-313 January 2020 in RMI and their relevance to the new policy and action plan.
  5.  Report on consultation and mapping workshop with list of stakeholders.
  6.  Full draft of the new policy and action plan prepared and circulated to all stakeholders.
  7.  Comments register, final version of the new policy and action plan, documentation of the final discussion with MOHHS.
Budget (if known)
$48,000 to $58,000 EURO
Criteria
The delivery of this consultancy will require in-depth knowledge and experience working in climate change and health in Pacific Islands. The consultant(s) will need to closely collaborate with MOHHS, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Culture, Office of Environmental Policy, Planning and Coordination,  other  ministries, and non-governmental  organisations (NGOs) in  RMI,  and  the  GCCA+  SUPA  team based in Suva, Fiji. The consultant(s) will be required to travel to Majuro, RMI, for minimum two visits, one of which is to include the Climate Change and Health Symposium scheduled for 30-31 January 2020.  Delivery  of  the  GCCA+  SUPA  project  requires  understanding  and  application  of  a  gender - sensitive  and  rights-based  approach  (more  information  on  a  rights-based  approach  is  available  at http://rrrt.spc.int/).
