Request for Proposal For Assessing Climate Change Risk Perception And Identifying Culturally Acceptable Climate And Health Resilience-Building Interventions In Pacific Island Countries

Request For Proposals Are Invited For Assessing Climate Change Risk Perception And Identifying Culturally Acceptable Climate And Health Resilience-Building Interventions In Pacific Island Countries Deadline: 20-Jul-2023 00:00 (Gmt 13.00) Auckland, Wellington, Fiji, Kamchatka The Purpose Of This Request For Proposals (Rfp) Is To Enter Into A Contractual Agreement With A Successful Bidder And Select A Suitable Contractor To Assess Climate Change Risk Perception And Identify Culturally Acceptable Climate Resilience Interventions Under Different Country Contexts, Including In The Selected Outer Islands Of Kiribati As Part Of The Koica-Funded Project, Making Health Adaptation For The Future Resilient Islands Kiribati Outer Islands Climate Health Action (Te-Mamauri Koica) And Other Pacific Island Countries (Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, And Vanuatu) As Part Of The Global Environment Facility (Gef) Funded Project Building Climate Resilience In Health Systems In Pacific Least Developed Countries To Climate Change. Background The Western Pacific Region Is One Of The Most Vulnerable Regions To Climate And Environmental Changes. Environmental Determinants Of Health Are Responsible For More Than A Quarter Of The Burden Of Disease In The Region. Enduring Shortage Of Safe Drinking-Water And Sanitation, Air Pollution, Presence Of Hazardous Chemicals In The Environment And Climate-Change Related Disasters Heighten The Threat Of Communicable And Non-Communicable Diseases, Negatively Health Equity And Contribute Significantly To Morbidity And Mortality In The Region. The Combination Of Exposure To Climatic Hazards, Limited Capacity Of The Health System, Including Inadequate Basic Infrastructure Such As Communication, Water And Sanitation And Electricity, Human Resources, And Supplies, As Well As Communities That Are Remote And Hard To Reach Provide Significant Challenges In Reducing Climate Change-Related Morbidity And Mortality. Without Substantial And Proactive Investment In Adaptation In The Health Sector And Community Level, The Current And Projected Climatic Changes Will Result In Increased Health Risks Through Direct And Indirect Pathways. In Building Resilience Into The Health Systems, Who Has Worked Closely With Member States In The Preparation Of Successful Project Proposals For Submission To Potential Funding Agencies. The Koica-Funded Project, Te-Mamauri Koica (Kiribati) And Global Environment Facility (Gef) Funded Project Building Climate Resilience In Health Systems In Pacific Least Developed Countries To Climate Change (Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, And Vanuatu), Are Being Implemented By Who In Close Collaboration With Ministries Of Health, With The Goal Of Strengthening Health Systems, Healthcare Facilities, Schools, And Communities To Protect And Improve Population Health In A Changing Climate. Te-Mamauri Koica Has An Emphasis On Outer Islands In Kiribati. The Proposed Activities In This Project Will Address Significant Institutional And Informational Gaps That Are Inhibiting The Health System In Select Pacific Island Countries To Effectively Cope In A Changing Climate. Requirements/Work To Be Performed Output 1: Climate Change Perception Assessment. Deliverable 1.1: Assessment Plan Deliverable 1.2: Technical Report On Perceived Climate Change Risks On Health In Pacific Island Countries.
