Call for EOIs: Managing Climate-Related Contingent Liabilities – Honduras

Deadline: 04-Feb-2026

The World Food Programme (WFP) invites expressions of interest to develop a methodology for managing contingent liabilities from climate change and natural phenomena affecting public assets in Honduras. The initiative focuses on risk assessment, database management, methodology validation, and participatory simulation of insurance activation to strengthen national capacity in climate-related financial risk management.

Overview of the Initiative

WFP Honduras aims to enhance national capacity to identify, assess, and manage financial risks linked to climate variability and extreme natural events. The initiative will focus on public assets in the Department of Francisco Morazán, providing a structured approach for informed decision-making and risk mitigation.

Key Focus Areas

Risk Diagnosis and Analysis

• Conduct an initial diagnosis of climate and natural hazard threats in Honduras

• Identify sectors and public assets most affected by these phenomena

Database Development and Management

• Create a structured database of critical state assets impacted by climate change and natural events

• Ensure accurate tracking and management of asset vulnerability and exposure

Risk Quantification Methodology

• Develop and validate a methodology to quantify financial and operational risks from climate-related events

• Support evidence-based decision-making for public asset protection

Participatory Simulation

• Conduct a simulation for activating an excess rainfall insurance policy from CCRIF SPC

• Engage stakeholders in understanding operational mechanisms of insurance-based risk transfer

• Promote practical application of risk management strategies

Geographic Focus

• Department of Francisco Morazán, Honduras

• Emphasis on public assets vulnerable to climate variability and extreme natural events

Objectives and Expected Outcomes

• Strengthen national capacity to manage climate-related financial risks

• Improve understanding of threats to public assets from natural phenomena and climate change

• Provide a validated methodology for contingent liability management

• Facilitate stakeholder engagement through participatory simulations

• Support policy and operational decisions for public asset protection

Who Can Apply?

Eligible applicants include organizations or experts with technical expertise in climate risk assessment, public asset management, disaster risk reduction, and insurance-based risk transfer mechanisms. Relevant experience in technical and vocational education and training in climate risk or livelihoods sectors is preferred.
