Peru: Development of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap Consultant

Objectives/Purpose of the Assignment

Main objective

Development of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use (Programación Tentativa)

Specific objectives

• Development of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use, following the content of the roadmap proposed by MINAM.
• Systematization of information referred to each part and section of the roadmap.
• Update, analysis, and justification of the information used in the domestic water use sector for the roadmap elaboration
• Socialization of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use

Activities

The proposed activities follow the content of the roadmap which is detailed in the Annex 1: Content of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use,  as well as technical aspects that should be taken into account to develop the final document.

1. Develop and present a work plan and establish a strategy to carry out the intersectoral coordination with the different organizations involved to complete the content of the roadmap

• A detailed work plan must be prepared, including a schedule of activities for the development of the consultancy as well as product delivery and product presentation.
• The work plan must include the systematization, analysis, and development of the Activities 2, 3,4, 5, and 6, listed below in this document.
• The consultant must present an intersectoral coordination strategy to obtain the necessary inputs for the roadmap. Focal points of each institution involved will be provided by the MINAM and MVCS. MINAM and MVCS will define specific sectors and institutions.
• The consultant must propose the best information and sources systematization tool for the development of the road

2. Develop the first part of the document of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Us

• The MVCS and MINAM will provide all specific information related to the sector that must be analyzed and included in the document of the roadmap. The content structure supplied by the DGCCD of MINAM must be followed, as shown in the Annex 1 of this document.
• Guidelines for the development of this roadmap should be considered through joint work between the DGAA of the MVCS, which operates as the sectoral authority on climate change matters, and the DGCCD of MINAM, which has the functions as a national authority
• The preparation of the first part of the document must contain: I. Executive Summary, II. Introduction, III. Objective, IV. Institutional framework and progress in incorporating Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use, as well as SECTION I: PROCESS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ALTERNATIVES, PRODUCTS, AND MEASURES BASED ON EVIDENCE, following the specific content detailed in Annex 1.

Considerations for the development of the SECTION I of the roadmap:

• Carry out an analysis of climate change problems in water availability, determining the fundamental cause(s), problem tree, and associated means.
• Review the conceptual model, which must analyze climate change impacts on water availability and its effects on domestic water, as well as its relationship with prioritized adaptation measures at the sectoral level. The conceptual model must be adequately substantiated and must consider the criteria for the identification and update of vulnerability for the provision of sanitation services. Likewise, the methodology and results obtained in the formulation of the Mitigation and Adaptation Plan to Climate Change (instrument created by Legislative Decree N 1280, Framework Law for the Management and Provision of Sanitation Services) must be taken as an analysis input. Therefore, hazards assessment by water service provider companies (EPS) must be considered.
• Incorporate all the current information, measures, and indicators on the products to be proposed following the content shown in Annex 1.
• Justify the updating of the baseline, goals, and enabling conditions of the products and adaptation measures, and considerations for their definition in the roadmap document.
• PreciseProvide detail on the requirements needed for the concordance with the conceptual model and the problem analysis, as well as implementation evaluation timing and sources of financing (it can be public, private, or international).
• Identify and establish recommendations for the implementation of products and measures aimed at evaluating the enabling conditions identified in them.

3. Develop the second part of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use

• Continue with the preparation of the document after the formal approval of the first part of the roadmap. Like the first one, this second part will continue to be developed in coordination with MINAM and MVCS, as previously mentioned.
• The preparation of the second part must contain the SECTION II: GENERAL SECTION BY SPECIFIC RESULTS, following the structure detailed in Annex 1 and considering the items listed below.

Considerations for the preparation of Section II of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use:

• Include a mapping of actors and institutional arrangements among the actors involved in the implementation of the products and measures proposed in the roadmap's document. It must include the identification (if necessary) and the creation of agreements, existing agreements, technical groups, or other intra-institutional collaboration mechanisms that contribute to the implementation of the products and measures.

4. Develop the third part of the document of the roadmap of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use

• Continue with the preparation of the document after the formal approval of the second part of the roadmap. Like the previous parts, the third will continue to be developed in coordination with MINAM and MVCS, as previously mentioned.
• The preparation of the SECTION III: COMPONENT OF DOMESTIC WATER USE, must contain the information detailed in Annex 1 and must consider the items listed below.

Considerations for the development of the third Section of the roadmap in the component of domestic water use:

• Include the process of identifying alternatives, products, and measures based on evidence, following the specific content detailed in Annex 1.
• The consultant must review and incorporate the products, measurements, and enabling conditions evaluated at the sectoral level, based on a prior analysis carried out by the MVCS. This must also include operational clarifications that allow effective monitoring of the indicators related to the prioritized measures on the domestic water use component.
• Include an analysis of the products and adaptation measures contribution to the GHG mitigation measures, that will be part of the proposed roadmap. Besides, the contribution of these products must be analyzed through a qualitative analysis presenting the appropriate technical support.
• For products and measures proposed as part of the roadmap, consider cross-cutting approaches such as gender, interculturality, and cross-generational aspects. Include contributions and comments from the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations (MIMP) and the Ministry of Culture (MINCU).
• Articulate the co-benefits of the products and measures of the roadmap with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the recommendations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) contemplated in the document 'Evaluation of environmental performance Peru - highlights and recommendations,' published in 2016.
• Consider updating (if applicable) the co-benefits that are detailed in the National Report that will be provided by MVCS, about the products and adaptation measures of the NDC Water components and their alignment with SDGs.

5. Develop the final part of the roadmap and present the final version of the document

• Continue with the development of the document after the formal approval of the third part of the roadmap; the last part of the document will continue to be developed in coordination with MINAM and MVCS, as previously mentioned.
• Present a final document of the Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap on the Component of Domestic Water Use once the content of the previous parts of the roadmap are approved.
• The last part of the document must contain: SECTION IV: ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF PRIORITIZED MEASURES, V. Conclusions, VI. Glossary of terms, and VII. Bibliography, as detailed in Annex 1. It must consider the items listed below.

Considerations for the elaboration of the final sections of the roadmap:
