Job Profile

The aim of Nepal Climate Change Support Programme Phase 2+ (NCCSP2+) is to build on the current work from NCCSP2 to improve the resilience of people in Western Nepal to current climate variability and future change.

NCCSP2+ will draw on lessons learnt from NCCPS2 to provide an effective transition and continue the implementation. The overall objective will be to deliver high quality technical and financial assistance to the Government of Nepal (GoN), so they can independently mainstream, select, implement, and manage multiple locally led climate adaptation interventions. To deliver NCCSP2+ a consortium has been formed between Mott MacDonald and Pegasys, providing leading international expertise in climate resilience in the Nepalese context, mainstreaming adaptation into government protocols and financial management.

The overall approach has been developed around the following four objectives:

Objective 1: Deliver the programme effectively, efficiently, and economically.

Objective 2: Reduce fiduciary risk.

Objective 3: Strengthen the capacity of GoN (federal, provincial and Palika) to implement and mainstream climate change adaptation programming currently and in the future.

Objective 4: Share learning from NCCSP with others and lead the coordination of partners working on climate change adaptation in Nepal.
