United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is looking for member of the CTCN Network that can provide services related to optimizing access to funding of technology projects for adapting to climate change in the Republic of Guinea.
The Republic of Guinea has been experiencing climate disruptions such as drop in rainfall, recurrent droughts since the 1970s, early and frequent flooding (Kankan - 2001, Boké - 2003, Gaoual - 2005, etc.) and the disruption of rainfall patterns. These factors have resulted in the drying up of watercourses and the soil, the destruction of plant cover, a drop in agricultural output and an increase in diseases of hydrological origin, especially in the north of the country.
In order to address these challenges, the government developed in 2007 the National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA). In addition the Guinea has recently developed other policies directly related to climate change, including the First National Communication, the National Investment Programme for the Environment (NIPE) and the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), as well as development policies such as the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), Five-Year Development Plan 2011-2015, etc. However, the implementation of project ideas and strategic priorities put forward by political decision makers and experts remains very limited in the country due to the lack of expertise required to develop bankable projects that can be funded by donors.
There is a crucial need both to develop projects that will optimise Guinea's access to funding and to guarantee the presence of local experts sufficiently competent to continue mobilising the financial resources required to adapt to climate change in the country.
The objective of the CTCN technical assistance is to train national experts (champions) in financial and organizational engineering to mobilize appropriate funding in order to implement priority climate-change adaptation projects.
