Lot #1The NDC Partnership helps countries turn NDCs into results-based, national…Renewal

The NDC Partnership helps countries turn NDCs into results-based, national implementation and investment plans by locating national climate and development goals within the broader sustainable development agenda. Countries refer to these plans in different ways, including as ‘Partnership Plans (PPs), and they can help guide development partners and implementing partners to support activities aligned with countries’ diverse objectives. In some instances, technical officials in the Partnership’s member developing countries lack the analytical tools they need to make complex choices, often under conditions of risk and/or uncertainty. The Partnership’s Support Unit is consequently seeking a firm to produce a variety of analytical products at the request of these country members to support their decision making around NDC implementation, ultimately informing the development or update of their Partnership Plans.

Delivery listed: United States (US) · The contract work will be based out of US (and future bidder location), but the work of the contract will be done globally.
Extensions: Depending on the availability of funding, the contract may be renewed for the same scope of work.Variant bids: not allowed
