Introduction
NORCAP’s mission is to improve aid to protect and empower people affected by crises and climate change. With expertise in the humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding sectors, we collaborate with local, national, and international partners on finding solutions that meet the needs of people at risk.
We do this by:
- Supporting humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding initiatives that protect and empower people
- Improving impact at the global and local level through joint projects with partners and stakeholders
- Providing expertise and developing capacity that enable partners to meet the needs of people in fragile situations and crises
- Strengthening the global system that we are part of through support for leadership, coordination, and policy development
- Building bridges between the humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding sectors
About the Partnership
NORCAP's Energy and Environment (E&E) team works with nearly a dozen partners, including UNHCR, IOM, WFP, FAO, WHO, UNICEF, UNITAR, UN-Habitat, NRC, Mercy Corps, and UNDP, to enhance energy access for displaced populations, green humanitarian operations, and drive systems change to improve the resilience of affected communities. This partnership focuses on providing energy access, decarbonizing humanitarian operations, and ensuring coordination across the sector.
Scope of Work
The selected service provider will:
- Design a tailored, three day in-person training agenda in consultation with NORCAP, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities, participant expertise, and expanded thematic scope.
- Develop and deliver all training materials (presentations, case studies, practical exercises), with a focus on clean cooking, nature-based solutions, agroforestry/reforestation, and electrification.
- Facilitate interactive sessions using a workshop format, allowing participants to work on real projects they are involved in (projects to be collected during the expert application process).
- Move beyond presenting case studies by supporting participants to explore how carbon finance could support their own initiatives.
- Manage the training flow to ensure objectives, timing, and participant engagement are achieved.
- Potential online follow-up session 4-5 weeks after the training to address any additional follow-up questions (approval depending on price).
Evaluation Criteria
Proposals will be evaluated based on:
- Relevance of experience in carbon finance and humanitarian/development contexts
- Quality and clarity of proposed training methodology
- Track record in delivering similar capacity-building initiatives
- Proposed team composition and expertise
- Cost-effectiveness and value for money
- Demonstrated ability to facilitate interactive, project-based learning
