The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) is seeking experts for the following technical assistance projects. Deadline to express the interest: 4 August, 2021

• Developing a national policy for deploying and scaling up E-mobility and supporting sustainable infrastructure in Papua New Guinea

The technical assistance will help in conducting a market analysis for the promotion and implementation of low carbon transport through electric vehicles. The outcome of the market analysis will be used to develop a draft policy and a roadmap of action plans for the implementation, from which selected action plans will be undertaken for feasibility study like electrification of the fleet of buses and supporting infrastructure in PNG. The technical assistance will adopt a value chain approach with special attention, made on augmenting the grid with an adequate amount of renewable energy and battery management, at end of batteries’ life.

• Establishment of a skimming well gallery system for agricultural use in HDh.Nolhivaranfaru of Maldives

Through this project, a sustainable groundwater extraction system for agricultural practices will be established, and unpolluted groundwater aquifers will be protected in HDh.Nolhivaranfaru Island.

Findings from the technical assistance would support the country to promote sustainable groundwater extraction and management for agricultural practices in HDh.Nolhivaranfaru Island. In particular, by establishing and operating the infiltration gallery system, it is expected that unpolluted groundwater aquifers would be protected in the island. Moreover, the capacity and knowledge of farming communities in the island and agriculture-related stakeholders on sustainable agricultural practices and water use efficiency for agriculture would be strengthened. Based on findings from the project, it is also expected that point groundwater extraction methods currently used in other islands could be replaced with the proposed infiltration gallery system, which would contribute to increasing the capacity of climate resilience with sustainable water supply for agriculture in Maldives.
