Global South Expert Pool: Open Opportunities

GRP is looking to commission one or two experts from the majority world as consultants to conduct mapping exercises on resilience measurements.

The Resilience Knowledge Coalition aims to make Global South demand and expertise take centre stage in resilience programming and measurement. To meet this aim, the coalition has initiated a database of experts from the Global South or majority world. Through this, we envision that GRP Partners and other organisations would be able to consciously hire experts from the majority world and will not have to rely only on voices from the minority world or Global North.

To join the Global South Expert Pool, please sign up on the Resilience Platform and fill in your profile details here.

As a part of this activity, GRP will commission one or two experts from the majority world as consultants to conduct mapping exercises on resilience measurements. The call for consulting opportunities is as follows:

Call for consultant for mapping Resilience Measurement Approaches and Tools

Call for consultant for mapping Resilience Impact Assessments

Timing

The calls for consultants is open until 15 April 2022.

The work is expected to commence in April 2022, with an inception report due by mid-May, data collected between July-August and final deliverables approved by October 2022.  

Budget

The maximum proposed budget for each opportunity is USD 10,000. Consultants are free to submit a proposal to either one and/or both opportunities. The final budget will be based on a proposal containing a work plan specifying consultancy rates and number of days/hours allocated per activity. No operational and travel costs are foreseen.

Requirements

Consultant(s) are asked to submit their CV along with a proposal in the link, to include outlines for methodology, process, experience and budget. The accepted proposal will then go through a process of finalisation and agreement of the methodology with the GRP team, resulting in an inception report after month two of contracting.
