Mozambique Compact Development Integrated Climate Management and Coastal Development Project

MCC requires an experienced consultant firm to provide due diligence resources to support MCC in developing the Integrated Coastal Management and Climate Change project under the second Compact in Mozambique. A firm is needed to provide support to coordinating the partners, which are being identified through a separate Partnership Programmatic Solicitation (PPS) being developed by the Country Development Team (Gabinete in Portuguese). The firm will support MCC in working with the Gabinete to coordinate the partners, support the co-creation efforts to develop Compact programming, provide technical oversight and input into the program designs leading up to Investment Memo and over the course of the compact implementation, support MCC’s technical capacity building and oversight of the partners’ efforts. The consultant firm will provide support to MCC in coordinating work with the Gabinete and the partners identified through the PPS. This will include technical input to MCC and the Gabinete on the PPS co-creation process to ensure the Compact project achieves projected outcomes. Technical input will be needed from this firm in a range of areas critical for improved coastal and fisheries management that will be implemented by the partner: fisheries management, protected areas, no-catch zones, fisheries processing and marketing chains, mangrove/seagrass/coral and general coastal restoration to support fisheries, and carbon financing to encourage investment in coastal ecosystems. The firm will be primarily focused on a Team Lead position that can draw in periodic resources of other expertise as needed to support the work of partners, provide technical, input to MCC and oversee the implementation throughout the Compact.
