A consultant is required to support the completion of the development of Verification Report on the implementation of the HCFC phase-out management plan in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Liberia (ERI/PHA/92/TAS/26, S1-32IML-001035; SB-023791.01.02.01; ETH/PHA/92/TAS/38, S1-32IML-001036; SB-023791.09.01.01; LIR/PHA/92/TAS/35, S1-32IML-001037; SB-023791.05.02.01)

UNEP is an Implementing Agency of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. UNEP’s OzonAction’s Compliance Action Programme (CAP) provides global management services to ensure that National Ozone Units (NOUs) are provided adequate advisory services, capacity building and technical assistance to implement activities approved by the Multilateral Fund’s Executive Committee.

At the same time, the global programme management services ensure that the Executive Committee receives timely, accurate, relevant and high-quality project proposals, financial and substantive reports, and information about the implementation of actions on the ground.

At the 92nd Meeting of the Ex-Com in June 2023, the Ex-Com approved funding for conducting verification of national HCFC consumption for 2020 to 2023 as part of the activities for the implementation of HPMP in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Liberia (ERI/PHA/92/TAS/26, ETH/PHA/92/TAS/38, LIR/PHA/92/TAS/35).

These approved projects are for UNEP to implement, and it is separate from Eritrea’s, Ethiopia’s, and Liberia’s HPMP project. The Ex-Com further decided that the verification reports should be submitted 60 days prior to the applicable Ex-Com meeting for which the funding is being requested. The implementation of this verification will be coordinated by Mr. Patrick Salifu, Regional Montreal Protocol Coordinator for Anglophone Network, UN Environment Programme (UNEP), Africa Office.

UNEP Africa Office is therefore recruiting an independent consultant to conduct verification of actual consumption of Annex C, Group I chemicals (HCFCs) during January-December 2020, 2021,2022, and 2023 and preparation of the verification report considering various rules/guidance of the Ex-com.
