| Description: | Expression of Interest: Consultant for Eia and water and sanitation specialist The asian development bank (adb) is implementing knowledge and support technical assistance (ta) to help pacific developing member countries (dmc) implement safeguards. Adbs pacific department (pard) is recruiting one environmental specialist and one social safeguards specialist to provide targeted sector and/or project-specific consulting services across the pacific region on an intermittent basis. Pard is implementing further ta through sustainable capacity development for safeguards in the pacific, approved on 18-nov-20 and additional financing approved on 08-sep-22. The ta will provide further strengthening of safeguards capacity in the 14 pacific dmcs. The ta will deliver three outputs:(i)output 1: region-wide safeguards capacity development strategy and plan prepared, and short-term capacity development activities implemented; (ii)output 2: targeted safeguards support delivered and (iii)output 3: selected capacity development interventions, identified in ta phase 1 regional strategy, are delivered in at least eight selected pacific dmcs. These outputs will result in the following outcome: a coordinated and sustainable approach to strengthening environmental and social risk and impact management is under implementation in pacific dmcs. The ta is aligned with the following impact: environmental and social risks and impact management implementation in pacific dmcs is improved. Pacific dmc challenges and constraints require continued collaboration between development partners through mechanisms such as the pacific learning partnership for environmental and social sustainability (plp-ess), which was established by adb, world bank, university of the south pacific, and the secretariat of the pacific regional environment programme (sprep) in april 2019 to foster training, knowledge exchange, and coordinated capacity development activities. Pard also is an active member of the pacific regional infrastructure facility (prif) safeguards working group to help pdmc implement more efficiently their respective environment and social requirements. The prif safeguards working group has also made significant progress in developing a framework for development partners to use that seeks to promote common terminology and approaches to safeguards, in a publication titled the shared approach (june 2021). The sprep plays an important role by helping the pacific dmcs strengthen and implement their country safeguard systems; however, sprep has focused on the implementation of environmental impact assessment legislation and does not yet cover social impact aspects (as they relate to eia) or post-approval environmental management requirements. In the pacific region, there is no equivalent to sprep for social safeguards. The plp-ess is looking to help develop social safeguard training and provide resources to sprep to deliver social safeguards-focused training, in addition to spreps compr |
