The consulting services (“the Services”) include the Social/Participatory Consultant who is expected to coordinate with the Environmental and Social Specialists in PSIPMU and with the Environmental Consultant contracted for this project, to support and ensure that social issues and social management activities are mainstreamed under Component 2 for each pilot site of the Project so that it is compliant with the country’s regulations, with the Environmental and Social Standards of the World Bank, and with the Social and Environmental Assessment provisions developed for this project.

The consultancy will be performed according to the deliverables outlined in the Terms of Refence (TOR) and will also be performed on site at the designated project pilot sites in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
