Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Country Flexible Finance Capacity Support Programme

The opportunity
The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) is looking for qualified Respondents for the management and implementation of a capacity and capability support programme for 15 countries in the Pacific. The capacity and capability support programme is intended to complement existing similar programmes but is focused specifically on enabling countries to access and leverage the expected scale-up in climate finance funding from either Aotearoa New Zealand or other donors.

What we need
We will be looking for an overarching programme management services provider to oversee, coordinate, and monitor the delivery of capacity and capability support services to each respective country. Respondents will also need to demonstrate that they are able to deliver a broad suite of discipline specific support on-the-ground in each country. We are open to innovative and commercially savvy ways of doing this including but not limited to sub-contracting, consortiums, and managed service provider models.
With increased finance and breadth of projects, country systems may experience ‘bottlenecks’. The extra capability and capacity aims to mitigate these bottlenecks. The range of disciplines we aim to support is wide, covering public financial management, public investment management, project management, policy and monitoring and evaluation
