Job description

Background and objective of the assignment

Belize has finalized and submitted its third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) to the UNFCCC. With the target-setting phase complete, emphasis now shifts to coordinated implementation. To operationalize the NDC 3.0, ministries and agencies require timely data gathering, organized consultations, systematic document review, and effective stakeholder communication to ensure that actions are practical, sequenced, and institutionally owned.

The national consultant will primarily provide coordination and facilitation support—including data collection and verification, document review and consolidation, organizing consultations and workshops, stakeholder outreach and follow-up, compilation of inputs, and version control—so technical content can be efficiently developed and finalized by CA and government counterparts.

Stakeholder Input and Review: Assist the national focal points in gathering feedback from stakeholders on key outputs, including drafts of the NDC implementation plan. Facilitate the review and incorporation of this feedback into final outputs.
Reporting and Coordination: Provide regular updates and reports on the progress of the work, coordinating with the national focal points and the CA Project team to ensure alignment with overall objectives.
Other Tasks: As identified by the national focal points and in alignment with the goals of the implementation planning process.
