Subject: CVN1228 - Technical assistance for the "Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change in Vietnam" WARM technical coordination platform (« WARM Technical Platform
»).
Case followed by: NTA/ALB
Hanoi, 11th June 2025,
To whom it may concern,
The French Development Agency (AFD) is pleased to launch a tender for the “ WARM Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change Technical Coordination Platform”
consultancy service. The bidding documents include:
- (i) Invitation letter including tender rules,
- (ii) Terms of reference,
- (iii) Draft contract,
- (iv) Cost breakdown for financial proposals,
- (v) Statement of Integrity, Eligibility, Environmental and Social Responsibility.
1. Purpose of the consultation
Agence Française de Développement (hereinafter “AFD”) has received a grant from the European Union, and intends to use part of the funds thereof for payments of the
Service under the following WARM Facility (hereafter “Facility”).
AFD wishes to broaden its dialogue with the Government of Vietnam in the field of climate change resilient transition. This dialogue takes shape through the financing of
infrastructure projects that contribute to climate change adaptation in the country"s secondary cities/provinces, and the support to public policy dialogue with the
Vietnamese authorities, at national level and at provincial level.
In this context, the Facility was designed to respond to the various needs of the Vietnamese national and provincial stakeholders involved in water and natural resource
management in urban and rural environments (e.g. urban resilience, irrigation, floods management, coastal erosion, etc.) in response to climate change effects.
On May 2020, the Facility was launched by the European Union and AFD, with an initial budget of EUR 20 million, to make at-risk areas more resilient to climate change,
particularly on Vietnam"s coasts and in the Mekong Delta. This includes building more resilient cities and territories to climate change and natural hazards, improving
urban planning; and promoting integrated water management and/or integrated coastal zone management.
The Facility has three specific objectives:
1. Improve the resilience to climate change of communities in vulnerable areas;
2. Support and optimize environmental and social performance of projects related to water and natural resources management in a context of climate change;
3. Support policy and strategic dialogue related to water and natural resources management in a systemic approach by addressing water and flooding management at the river
basin level and risk-sensitive urban planning.
Through component 4, the Facility aims to enhance sectoral policy dialogue, expand knowledge within its thematic sectors, increase the visibility of the projects funded by
the Facility, and strengthen both coordination and accountability.
Leveraging the Facility’s direct involvement in 13 projects addressing climate change adaptation, water management and natural resources conservation across various
regions of Vietnam, the Facility proposes to establish a technical coordination platform in 2025. This Platform will facilitate the collaboration between the Facility and
the provinces supported by another AFD-funded project (CRUIV) to address common technical challenges and foster a bottom-up exchange of lessons learned from WARM-supported
projects between the provinces and the central-level ministries.
The Services of the Consultant shall consist of the following missions:
i. Mission 1 – Undertake the diagnosis and propose 9Y roadmap as well as a 9 month action plan (2 months)
ii. Mission 2 – For 2 selected themes, support the various Working Groups (WG) in their implementation, their activities, and the communication of their proposals and
results (Y1)
iii. Mission 3 – Study the feasibility and propose the governance of the WARM Platform from the year 2 to the end (Y1 – final report)
