National Support for the Implementation of the FACE-NDC Project in Zambia (Албания - Тендер #67857456)

The Facility for Action for Climate Empowerment to achieve the Nationally Determined Contributions (FACE-NDC) project is a seven-year (20232030) initiative jointly implemented by FAO (lead partner), UNESCO, UNITAR, the University of Zambia (UNZA), and Copperbelt University (CBU). FACE-NDCs main objective is to empower key actors and institutions to contribute effectively to achieving the Zambias climate commitments (NDCs) across key sectors such as forestry, agriculture, and energy. The project supports the National Climate Change Learning Strategy (2019) by strengthening institutional and individual capacities, integrating climate change education (CCE) into formal education, and promoting skills for sustainable development. UNESCO leads activities under the formal education component, focusing on mainstreaming climate change education (CCE), education for sustainable development (ESD), and gender-responsive pedagogy into Zambias curriculum and teacher training frameworks.

UNESCO in collaboration with the Ministry of Education in Zambia, seeks technical services of a for a national firm to support the strengthening of climate change education and education for sustainable development in line with Zambias 2023 Curriculum Framework. Specifically, the assignment will involve supporting the development and implementation of context-specific, learner-centred climate education by developing/adapting supplementary materials on climate change education for teacher training, adapting Green School Standards, producing facilitator guides, building expert capacity though TOT, establishing M&E tools, and conducting stakeholder workshops as needed. This assignment will also provide technical guidance towards effective promotion of school-level climate action or change projects to empower learners and strengthen institutional resilience. By combining your local technical expertise and experience, this assignment will in a long run help to advance Zambias NDC3.0 targets and contribute to long-term climate resilience and sustainable development.
