The African Development Bank hereby invites Individual Consultants to indicate their

This project is part of a GEF initiative to establish regional climate technology and

financed by set aside funds from the GEF trust fund (GEFTF) and the Special Climate
Change Fund (SCCF) and it is managed by the Energy, Environment and Climate
Change Department (ONEC) of the African Development Bank.
The objective of ACTFCN is to support Sub-Saharan African (SSA) member countries
in scaling-up the deployment of low-carbon and climate resilient technologies for
climate change mitigation and adaptation. The project has three components: (1)
enhancing knowledge and networking (2) enabling the scaling-up of technology
transfer through policy, institutional and organizational reforms; and (3) integrating
climate change technologies into investment programs and projects.
The Adaptation Expert for the Water Sector will support the AfDB's capacity to execute
the project. This support will consist in developing water sector project pipeline and in
defining activities to be supported by ACTFCN under the adaptation sub-component.
The tasks required will include technical review of proposals supporting adaptation
activities in the water sector and assistance to the center in implementing its work
program, under the direction of the ACTFCN Project Manager and the overall
