Responsibilities

  • Support the government in implementing and strengthening inclusive institutional arrangements that promote ownership and coordination of climate measures across government, including intergovernmental, sectoral, government-partner, partner-partner, and society-wide coordination mechanisms.
  • Support strategic dialogue and engagement among the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Development, Ministry of Finance, and priority sectoral ministries so climate priorities are integrated into national budgeting, planning, sectoral, and international cooperation processes.
  • Identify key national actors, including technical and financial partners; maintain their contact details for effective follow-up; and map current and planned climate-related projects and their alignment with the country's economic trajectory.
  • Inform the country's implementation and development partners—including agencies, embassies, donors, funds, and multilateral development banks—of planned and ongoing actions such as requests, projects, and activities, and coordinate with them to promote targeted programming and harmonized support aligned with national priorities.
  • Address strategic gaps through targeted bilateral engagement with partners to avoid duplication, sequence actions appropriately, and ensure complementary support planning, in consultation with the NDC Partnership Focal Point.
  • Support the national partner in organizing meetings and facilitate inclusive stakeholder participation and coordination mechanisms throughout the development, strengthening, or implementation of NDC-aligned planning instruments and policy frameworks.
  • Support government bodies across sectors in preparing resource-mobilization tools, including Requests for Support Letters (RSLs), detailed request matrices, and concept notes, aligned with national development plans, NDCs, NDC-aligned planning instruments, and direct engagement with ministries, departments, and agencies under government focal-point direction.
  • Facilitate matching and coordination between government bodies and partners so technical assistance and resources are delivered effectively, including communicating government needs and requests to partners through bilateral meetings, calls, and emails in consultation with government focal points.
  • Guide technical and financial partners in aligning climate projects and program objectives with government priorities stated in the NDC implementation plan, national development plan, or other government planning and policy frameworks.
  • Support government-wide identification and analysis of support gaps to inform resource-mobilization efforts.
  • In consultation with focal points, organize and/or participate in coordination meetings on implementation of the NDC, LT-LEDS, and other relevant activities supported through the NDC Partnership and its partners; share meeting minutes, records, and next steps.
  • Work with the NDC Partnership Support Unit and focal points to manage and update the NDC implementation plan in the online Partnership Plan tool, keeping information current and accessible to key stakeholders.
  • Support the government in tracking and mobilizing partner financing to address support gaps and enable implementation of the NDC, LT-LEDS, and climate-related activities.
  • Prepare quarterly country-engagement update reports summarizing key lessons, progress updates, challenges, and recommendations.
  • Distribute quarterly reports to relevant stakeholders to maintain transparency and a shared understanding of implementation progress.
  • Prepare and distribute a monthly progress report that includes the following month's work plan to the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Development, Ministry of Finance, and Support Unit.
  • Contribute to NDC Partnership knowledge products and information-exchange opportunities, including blogs, peer exchanges, and training.
  • Train government officials and partners on integrating climate priorities into their respective areas of work and on NDC Partnership country-engagement tools, including RSLs, KNOOK, and the online NDC plan tool when needed.
  • Share targeted examples of best practices with sectors to raise awareness of climate efforts in other countries and regions and strengthen climate action nationally.

UNOPS

Self-financing international agency delivering projects

UNOPS is the United Nations’ operational arm for development, humanitarian, and peacebuilding work worldwide. It delivers projects through five core services—infrastructure, procurement, project management, financial management, and human resources—managing construction, procurement, and funds for partners in more than 80 countries, with a focus on post-disaster and fragile economies. It operates on a self-financing, fee-for-service model and does not rely on core UN funding, charging a management fee to work with UN agencies, governments, financial institutions, NGOs, and the private sector. Its goal is to provide reliable, timely project outcomes that support sustainable development, resilience, and post-conflict reconstruction.
