REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)
Development of a national sustainable spatial management framework with a detailed plan for 2 locations in Tonga
Pacific Climate Change Migration and Human Security Programme (PCCM-HS) Phase II
The programme contributes to strengthened resilience and adaptive capacity of Pacific Islanders in the context of climate change and disasters, ensuring that migration and relocation remains a choice, and displacement is averted, minimized and addressed.
The programme will support the following outcomes:
· Governments cooperate at the (Pacific) regional and sub-regional level to manage climate mobility (outcome 1);
· Pacific Governments develop and implement national policies to address climate mobility (outcome 2);
· Pacific civil society actors, worker and employer organizations, and communities actively engage in national, regional and global processes to manage climate mobility (outcome 3).
Overall, the activity will support enhanced resilience to climate change and disasters and will ensure the well-being of affected communities. Specifically, the aim of this consultancy is to provide the Kingdom of Tonga with a National Sustainable Spatial Management Framework, that will serve as a key tool in guiding the country’s efforts to manage the impacts of climate change and disasters on its communities, infrastructure, and natural resources. A detailed plan for 2 locations will be developed as a pilot initiative that can be scaled up. By promoting sustainable land use practices and protecting vulnerable areas, the framework aims to reduce displacement and will support relocation to be carried out in a rights-based approach, thereby enhancing the overall resilience of the Tongan society to environmental challenges. The framework will be grounded in desk research and public consultation. The activity aligns with IOM’s emerging approach related to risk assessment for potential future climate-induced displacement.
