Deadline: 23-Jul-21
UNDP is calling for proposals for Flagship Report on Disaster and Climate Resilient Infrastructure.
Scope of Work
- Global infrastructure exposure model
- Vulnerability functions
- Update of the GAR buildings exposure model
- Landslide hazard model
- Flood and hydrological drought hazard model
- Tropical cyclone hazard model
- Multi-hazard risk modelling
Objectives
- The primary objective of the assignment is to develop a fully probabilistic global multi-hazard risk model for infrastructure assets worldwide, associated with both geophysical and hydro-meterological hazards.
- The model will serve as a core input for the development of a Global Resilience Index, which will take into account the implications of risk for social and economic development and will also take into account qualitative measures of infrastructure quality.
- A fully interoperable data-platform will also be designed that enables the risk and resilience metrics to be publicly accessible, shared and queried, in order to inform investment decisions and the allocation of capital to sustainable and resilient infrastructure in support of the SDG.
Pillars
- Global Infrastructure Risk Model
- Global Infrastructure Resilience Index
- Nature Based Solutions
- Progress Monitoring
- Financing Infrastructure Resilience
Deliverables
The following deliverables should be submitted while conducting the study:
- Submission and approval of Inception report within three (3) weeks after award of contract.
- Submission of the Methodology as a Policy Product, for dissemination to a global audience within eight (8) weeks after award of contract.
- Submission and approval of the First Progress Reports on each Component within three (3) months after award of contract.
- Submission and approval of the Final reports for each Component within twelve (12) months after award of contract.
- Submission and approval of the Final report on GIRI, incorporating all comments from the international advisory board. The final report will also summarize policy recommendations of all 9 components as defined in the section ‘Scope of Work’ of the Terms of Reference within eighteen (18) months after award of contract.
Location
- At bidder’s location with flexible working arrangement to travel to India or other locations as necessary.
Competencies
Towards describing the expertise of the bidder, the proposal should clearly highlight the following:
- The year and state/country of incorporation and a brief description of the bidder’s present activities.
- Experience in developing exposure models, hazard models and multi-hazard risk models and in developing and using financial risk metrics.
- National and international experience including working with international networks and organizations.
- Experience in similar and relevant projects and previous relevant UN projects / similar or equivalent organizations (evidenced by sharing experience of working on similar projects).
- Familiarity with internationally used concepts, tools and practices in conducting multi-hazard risk assessment.
