March 2025–September 2025
In 2022, Saint Lucia submitted its first NAP Progress Report and Adaptation Communication covering progress from 2018 to 2021. Six years into NAP implementation, there is a need to measure and document the next phase of progress—from 2022 to 2024—to maintain momentum, showcase achievements, and identify persistent barriers. The second NAP Progress Report will
- track and assess progress in implementing climate adaptation measures;
- highlight key achievements and identify ongoing challenges;
- recommend actionable strategies for improvement, emphasizing data-driven M&E;
- ensure alignment with national, regional, and global climate adaptation goals, including the global goal on adaptation (GGA);
- strengthen quantitative data collection, introduce a “traffic light” system for measuring progress, and categorize achievements in key areas such as data, awareness, research, capacity, institutions, policy, and implementation; and
- design a simplified NAP M&E Framework
Objective of the Assignment
The overall objective of this assignment is to assess, document, and communicate the progress made in implementing Saint Lucia’s NAP for the period 2022–2024 while incorporating recommendations for
- enhanced quantitative data collection and analysis,
- a “traffic light” or other qualitative system for progress measurement, and
- categorizing progress in areas such as data, awareness, research, capacity, institutional, policy, and implementation.
The final output will be a comprehensive second NAP Progress Report that guides stakeholders in refining and prioritizing adaptation interventions.
Required qualifications:
- Master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., public policy or other related social science discipline).
