FrançaisThe Project Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) will identify the most vulnerable communities in the Pyanj River Basin, and for each jamoat (sub-district) select and design physical and non-physical adaptation measures to reduce the adverse effects of climate change on water resources. Potential adaptation measures in the Pyanj river basin have already been identified in a climate change risk assessment carried out under the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience with ADB support (TA-7599:TAJ1) and extensive consultations with line ministries, international organizations, civil society, local governments, jamoats and community-based organizations in the Pyanj River Basin. Infrastructure needs included rehabilitation or construction of climate-proofed infrastructure for: (i) small scale irrigation systems and drainage, including water storage and discharge and other drought management measures; (ii) supply of drinking water; and (iii) flood and mudflows management, including small-scale riverine embankments, soil stabilization and reforestation. Other measures identified include: (i) early warning systems for floods and droughts; (ii) micro-finance to support the introduction of adaptation measures at the farm and household level, especially for women; (iv) index-based micro-insurance as a climate change risk transfer mechanism and (v) advisory services to provide and disseminate information on climate change risks management practice and adaptation technologies.
Qualification: The water infrastructure specialist will have at least 15 years working experience in designing water infrastructure projects including irrigation, water supply and flood protection in developing countries extensive experience in Central Asia (CA). Tasks: The Water infraSpecialist will be responsible for identifying infrastructure solutions that are suitable to the changing climate conditions of the project areas and address the adaptation needs identified in the target jamoats and communities. He/she will be responsible for climateproofing the engineering design. The Water Infrastructure Specialist will work closely with the Infrastructure Engineers to produce detailed engineering design of the infrastructure components of the sub-projects, including operational and maintenance requirements
As soon as we will receive the notification of the shortlist, more relevant infromation will be published.
