In 2022, the Minister of Foreign Affairs launched the International Climate Finance Strategy, Tuia te Waka a Kiwa, which outlined the broad strategy for disbursement of Aotearoa New Zealand’s $1.3 billion climate finance commitment between January 2022 and December 2025.
Papua New Guinea is one of the New Zealand Aid Programme’s largest development programmes, but to date, Aotearoa New Zealand has not invested significantly in climate change related activities in the country.

MFAT’s Pacific and Development Group recently approved the concept note for the NZ-PNG Climate Action Partnership Programme (the Programme). The stated goal of the Programme is to support the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) to meet its goals in climate change mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage. MFAT is contracting the Supplier to design and draft a business case for the Programme, to be submitted to MFAT’s Pacific and Development Group’s Governance Group for approval (the Activity).

What we need
MFAT is seeking a supplier who can demonstrate experience/expertise in all of the following:
• Design of development activities in the Pacific
• Climate change issues and development solutions (including climate smart agriculture)
• Papua New Guinea context, including culturally appropriate approaches to research, partnering and design, and harnessing PNG Indigenous/local knowledge
• Better[BH(1]  Business Case drafting
• Participatory co-design/co-creation approaches
• Partnership Brokering
• Indigenous-centred approaches, including leveraging Māori expertise, values, mātauranga, tikanga utilised in research, partnering and design, and upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations
 
The successful respondent will be responsible for providing and delivering the following:
· Background research and development of the work plan (scoping discussions, literature/mātauranga review, health, safety and security plan, partnership brokering plan, stakeholder engagement plan, design mission workplan)
· Design mission to/in Papua New Guinea over an estimated 4-6 weeks or more as necessary (consultations with local stakeholders such as Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) and other GoPNG authorities, implementation partners, NGOs, local communities etc.). This includes partnership brokering with the CCDA and key partners, and scoping possibilities for a project management supplier to manage the Programme long-term. We recognise some Suppliers may already have PNG-based staff

No Winner NZ-PNG Climate Action Partnership Programme Design and Business Casing awarded to ThinkPlace, we'd like to thank and acknowledge the time and energy that went into all proposals.
