HQ660 Private Sector Financing Consultancy

Details:

Through this announcement, we aim to hear from eligible suppliers that would be interested to apply for a consultancy that focuses on the development of evidence on the role, potential and limits of the private sector in financing adaptation in developing countries, particularly SIDS and LDCs. This piece of work will be based on quantitative evidence to better understand what the current private adaptation finance landscape is and bring in data and facts to an often-ideological debate. This will highlight how different types of private finance effectively contribute to meeting adaptation finance needs by sector in developing countries, particularly in LDCs and SIDS. Specifically, this will include looking at how much of the current adaptation finance needs in developing countries (particularly looking at SIDS and LDCs), in each key sector, are covered by private finance and by which kind of finance specifically and how much is this likely to change by 2035, taking into account the barriers preventing private sector investment in climate adaptation projects in developing countries, and the considerable efforts underway to address these.
