Background
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Liberia was created by an act of the Legislature on November 26, 2002, and published as a handbill on April 30, 2003, to ensure sound environmental management and sustainable use of natural resources. The EPA functions to ensure long-term economic prosperity through sustainable development and establish a legal framework for environmental management. The EPA received funding from the Green Climate Fund to implement a five-year project called “Enhancing Climate Information Systems for Resilient Development in Liberia” (the Liberia CIS Project). The Liberia CIS Project is a US$11,431,969 GCF, AFDB, and GOL-funded project that aims to increase the resilience of Liberia’s population and infrastructure to climate change. In particular, the project will strengthen the country’s adaptive capacities to integrate better long-term climate risk reduction and adaptation measures in national planning and development through the development of a well-functioning Multi-Hazard Impact-Based Forecasting and Early Warning System (MH-IBF-EWS). The implementation of the project will entail training and equipping the existing Liberia Meteorological Service (LMS), Liberia Hydrological Service (LHS), Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) to collect weather and climate data; introduce and maintain modelling, forecast weather events and provide early warnings systems; and scale-up evidence-based climate-informed decisionmaking, planning, and response actions Countrywide.
Purpose of the Consultancy
The purpose of this consultancy is to provide professional supervision and monitoring services for the renovation of the Liberia National Meteorological Station at the Roberts International Airport (RIA).
