Company Description
SNV Netherlands Development Organization is a not-for-profit international development Organisation, founded in the Netherlands in 1965. SNV operates in more than 25 developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa. For detailed information on SNV visit: www.snv.org.
SNV has worked to support the growth and development of Cambodia and its people since 2005. In lowering barriers to social development and promoting local ownership, we are a trusted advisor and on-the-ground implementer. Using market-based approaches, we emphasise environmental sustainability and inclusive development, especially for women and marginalised communities. Our work in Cambodia spans the water, energy and agri-food sectors – and we’re particularly proud of the work we’ve done to ensure our work is aligned with the country’s national development priorities and strategies. We collaborate closely with the royal government, civil society, and private sector. Our multi-national team of experts works from our national office in Phnom Penh.
To support this, we are looking for eligible, talented, experienced, qualified individual (not company) expert consultants to pre-qualify and join our talent roster, for both long-term and short-term opportunities. The main objective of this process is to pre-qualify consultants to supply and deliver services as and when required. The pre-qualification process will conclude in a framework consultancy agreement. The framework agreement provides a framework under which SNV may then issue assignments with specific terms of reference (TORs). Assignments will be contingent on donor funding.
As part of the framework agreement the consultant will be asked about any conflict of interest and will also complete a short basic due diligence questionnaire. Prospective consultants must have carried out successful supply and delivery of similar technical assignments to institutions of similar size and complexity as SNV. Letters of reference from past customers may be requested.
Job Description
We know climate change disproportionately affects food-insecure regions, jeopardizing crop and livestock production and fisheries. Exposure to more frequent and intense climate extremes is undermining all dimensions of food security, threatening to erode and reverse gains made in ending hunger and malnutrition. Climate-related hazards, be it drought, flooding or temperature rises aggravate existing stressors, such as, soil degradation, excessive water extraction and/or forest loss with negative outcomes for livelihoods, especially for people living in poverty. This is affecting all regions.
Collective action is needed, bringing together the knowledge and expertise of a multitude of groups. SNV actively works towards the transformation of food, energy and water systems to deliver climate smart solutions at scale. Building upon our considerable expertise in stimulating private sector development in agriculture and renewable energy, we are applying this to the area of climate change adaptation and mitigation, creating shared value for the companies, society and the environment.
The Climate Change Analysis Consultant supports the team in better understanding the impact of climate change and associated social vulnerabilities, including bringing expertise in landscape approaches, deforestation free value chains, and expertise on potential synergies between climate vulnerability and livelihood approaches.
