The tender deadline is November 30th, 2023, and the contract period is expected to run from January 1st, 2024, to December 31st, 2024. This opportunity, focused on disaster risk financing, offers business growth potential to firms specializing in research and development consultancy services.

The competitive open procedure presents a chance for businesses with expertise in early warning systems and adaptive social protection to engage with an international development project in the Sahel region. ## Notice The Centre for Disaster Protection (the Centre) is funded by UK Aid and managed through DAI Global UK (DAI), it works to change how the world prepares and pays for disasters. Identifying, planning for and financing disasters before they strike saves lives, reduces suffering and protects livelihoods and economies, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable communities. The Centre brings countries together with international development, humanitarian and private sector organisations to find solutions and advocate for change. We find ways to stop disasters devastating lives by supporting countries and the international system to better manage risks. To do this, the Centre provides advisory services, builds knowledge, catalyses innovation and creates partnerships across the development, humanitarian and financial sectors. The Centre is currently establishing and implementing a new UK Aid funded project to support five countries in the Sahel region (Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger) to strengthen their adaptive social protection systems. The Centre will work closely alongside the second phase of the World Bank's Bank's Sahel Adaptive Social Protection Programme (SASPP) to provide support to country teams in laying the foundations for stronger policy, practice and financing for social protection systems in the Sahel that are more adaptive to climate-related shocks. The Centre's efforts will seek to ensure that further improvements to Sahelian social protection systems are informed by principles and practices of good disaster risk financing, and that long-term financing and early warning systems are linked to suitable triggers. The Centre and DAI are seeking to engage an individual for a technical consultancy to provide longer-term advisory and quality assurance on drought and flood early warning systems for shock-responsive finance delivered through adaptive social protection systems. This consultancy assignment will support the Centre's ongoing work to advise World Bank country teams on integrating climate and early warning data into the design and delivery of social protection responses to vulnerable populations across the Sahel. The purpose of this role will be to contribute to the conception and lead the delivery of high-quality technical advisory and analysis on drought-and flood-related indicators. This role will also be involved in reviewing and quality assuring other Centre suppliers' ongoing work alongside the Centre's Sahel team To apply, please submit your CV, cover letter indicating how your experience and interest aligns with this work, and how you will approach this work (max. 2 pages).
