Call for experts: Reducing smallholder vegetable farmers' vulnerability to climate change impacts including water scarcity in Mongolia through EbA and digitalized risk mitigation insurance solutions

The CTCN is seeking experts to participate in the upcoming solicitation to provide technical assistance on:

Reducing smallholder vegetable farmers' vulnerability to climate change impacts including water scarcity in Mongolia through EbA and digitalized risk mitigation insurance solutions

Deadline: 18 July 2025

Smallholder vegetable farmers in Mongolia, particularly in the Dundgobi and Uvurkhangai provinces, face significant challenges due to climate change impacts such as water scarcity, extreme temperatures, and increased frequency of extreme weather events. These challenges threaten food security and livelihoods, as traditional farming practices are no longer sustainable under changing climatic conditions.

This Technical Assistance aims to help smallholder vegetable farmers in two Mongolian provinces adapt to climate change by demonstrating a bankable technology concept combining solar-powered irrigation and agroforestry for improved water management. Some of the expected outputs are:

• Mandatory Output: Project Management.
• Inception workshop and technology options.
• Policy and Legislative Framework for Standards.
• Financing Structure and Digitalised Insurance Schemes.
• Capacity Building and Training.
• Implementation Roadmap and Sustainability Financing Strategy, including two Scale-up Project Concepts
• Notes.
