Project:
To develop a GCF project funding proposal for ‘Enhancing Early Warning Systems to build greater resilience to hydro-meteorological hazards in Timor-Leste’
Client:
UNEP
Participants:
The Government of Timor-Leste (State Secretariat for the Environment, Ministry of Transport and Communication, Ministry of Agriculture and Fishery, Secretary of State for Civil Protection), Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Asia and Africa (RIMES), Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) and UNEP.
Timeframe:
2019 - 2020
What the project involved:
The GCF funding proposal of approximately US$30M will address the urgent need for integrated climate information services in Timor-Leste covering oceans, and proactive disaster risk management approaches founded on impact-based forecasting and end-to-end Multi Hazard Early Warning Systems. The project will enhance the observational networks run by the national meteorological and hydrological service, filling data gaps that are of national, regional and global significance.
PSS with a local consultant met with stakeholders across Timor-Leste including government and private agencies, as well as NGOs, community groups, academic institutions and vulnerable groups (gender, youth and disability). Additionally, PSS consulted key regional bodies such as BoM, RIMES, BMKG, FAO and International Federation of Red Cross.
PSS also managed and worked closely with an economist and an environmental and social safeguards specialist who carried out the cost benefit analysis and ESS assessments respectively for the project. This work also involved PSS developing a GCF project funding proposal and annexes which included detailed itemised budgets, Engineering Operation and Maintenance Plans for all technical equipment an Implementation Plan and Procurement Plan.
