Deadline: 7-Feb-21
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has announced a call for proposals for the Small Grants Programme (SGP) 7th Operational Phase Country Programme Strategy Development.
This call for proposals is to solicit research institutions and civil society organizations to put forward proposals that help SGP undertake a preparatory process to develop its strategy for OP7 through a socio-ecological environment assessment.
This will involve multi-stakeholder consultations, development of baseline assessment(s) of priority identified landscape(s), and elaboration of the Country Programme Strategy (CPS) for OP7 in close coordination with the SGP National Coordinator and National Steering Committee in Eswatini.
Expected Outputs
- Step 1. OP7 Country Programme Strategy consultations and Scoping exercise: Key outputs to be produced at this stage would include: (a) a short report documenting the consultation and scoping process with key issues, outcomes and agreements on the CPS approach recorded, and (b) a draft outline of the CPS already developed to the extent possible with the landscape approach.
- Step 2. Selected Landscape Baseline Assessment: As a key output of the Landscape Baseline Assessment process a report will be produced that will present the baseline analysis, the elaboration of the SGP strategy within the landscape and the modalities for implementation. The report will also present the consultative process followed and the results of community consultations held.
- Step 3. Country Programme Strategy Finalization Based on the above steps and once the Baseline Assessment process for the selected Landscape area(s) of focus has been completed and agreed, the SGP OP7 Country Programme Strategy (CPS) will be fully elaborated and finalized. A draft of the complete CPS (no more than 25 pages in total length) will be produced for review and comment by the NC and NSC.
