Panama United Nations A tiempo completo

Result of Service

The consultant will be responsible for elaborating strategic guidelines identifying the potential of land value capture (LVC) mechanisms to finance Nature-based Solutions (Nbs) in cities in Latin America and the Caribbean.

S/he will first assess the existing regulations in the 13 project cities, providing recommendations for the financing of identified NbS through LVC. Secondly, s/he will facilitate and create the content for a thematic table of a Community of Practice to build capacity of identified key stakeholders at the city level and support them in the integration of these recommendations in urban planning.

The consultant will work with the 13 Nature4Cities cities, namely Camagüey & Manzanillo (Cuba), Santo Domingo (Ecuador), Ciudad de Guatemala (Guatemala), La Lima & El Progreso (Honduras), Arraiján, Colón, Bocas del Toro & the metropolitan área of Chiriquí: Boquete, Dolega & Gualaca (Panamá), Santiago de los Caballeros (the Dominican Republic), Rivera & Durazno (Uruguay).

The communication for data collection and capacity building purposes will be channeled through the national coordinators in Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panamá, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay, in coordination with the regional project team based in the LAC office.

The narrative must be constructed taking in consideration the main target audience: public officials and decision makers from local authorities from the 13 Nature4Cities identified cities; as well as a secondary audience such as international organization and development banks in the region.

The consultant will work on the two key outputs from the Nature4Cities project.

OUTPUTS

Output 2.4.1. Financial guidelines to support investment in climate action developed for the 13 participating cities and incorporated into the Nature Based Urban Development.

Activities for the development of products 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7:

- Elaborate an annotated outline for the guidelines, which should be based on the country/city analysis of LVC and the potential for tailoring such local financial mechanisms to NbS implementation. The proposed methodology should facilitate a comparative analysis among the 13 cities.
- Provide guidance to the national coordinators of Nature4Cities on information needs, literature review, stakeholder consultation and other activities to collect information for the elaboration of the guideline.
- Revise the 13 local guidelines prepared by the National Coordinators, providing inputs and recommendations for improvement.
- Draft a regional comparative assessment report based on the information and results from the local guidelines, providing key recommendations at the LAC level.
- Integrate at least two rounds of comments from the UNEP LAC technical team, for the finalization of the report.

Key considerations:

- The regional comparative assessment report (product 4) will allow to present to other cities in the region with a set of different alternatives of LVC mechanisms adapted to the specific conditions of each city that can be of use for cities with similar characteristics.
- The regional comparative assessment report (product 4) also provides information on the benefits of combining different types of LVC mechanisms.
- The guidelines will provide cities with valuable insights for the definition of a pipeline of transformative investments on NbS for urban areas.
- The products will be short (20 to 30 pages maximum), with identified barriers, recommendations and concrete examples.

Output 5.2.1. Knowledge products and training about the opportunities of NBS in urban areas disseminated to citizens and local governments through regional mechanisms

Activities for the development of products 1 and 4
- Contribute in the technical design of complementary and support materials: monitoring report structure with max. 3 indicators, initial and final survey.
- Design the following technical materials for a virtual thematic roundtable: i) a set of presentations; ii) One (1) guidance document for each roundtable including: description of participatory dynamics and methodology for each session, practical exercises for virtual workshops, bibliography and questions/ exercises for the forum.
- Moderate discussions during one (1) thematic roundtable of the Community of Practice on urban NBS.
- Provide technical advice to participants (estimated at 2 hours/week) for integrating the dimension of LVC in the development of city’s project action ideas.
- Elaborate a technical report with results and key messages from the discussions of the thematic table

Key considerations
- The Community of Practice will be designed and coordinated by Nature4Cities Implementing Partner - Practical Action Peru.
- There will be 2 other thematic tables focusing on planning for urban resilience and on the involvement of the private sector in mobilizing financing.
- A methodology and proposed structure for the moderation of the thematic table will be developed b
