Description

Established following COP26 Presidency's Climate and Development Ministerial in March 2021, the Taskforce on Access to Climate Finance ('the Taskforce') is a response to calls from climate vulnerable countries that access to climate finance is slow, complex and not of sufficient scale.

Mauritius is one of seven Pioneer Countries which aims to address these inadequacies though a national-level structured programme of interventions. Since 2023, the Government of Mauritius and the UK, as anchor donor of the trial, work in partnership to mobilise finance, strengthen climate policy, drive capacity building and manage inclusive platforms to coordinate climate finance activities.

Following a period of consultation, the Taskforce has now finalised a Climate Finance Strategy and Roadmap with up to £12 million (~MUR 736m) allocated to the Taskforce in Mauritius. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office is exploring options on how to deliver and manage Taskforce deliverables and is seeking input from the market. Deliverables may include technical assistance, management of a Climate Finance Stakeholders Platform and the design and operationalisation of a Climate Finance Unit. The Delivery Partner will work closely with the team which comprises a Senior Technical Cooperation Adviser and Programme Implementation Lead (FCDO), a Strategic Adviser (consultant) and teams across Government, private sector, civil society and academia.

An engagement event will take place on Wednesday 4 December at 10am (UK time).

This notice is for engagement purposes only and not a call for competition at this time.
