REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES – INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT) ESWATINI WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION ACCESS PROJECT Reference No.: SZ-EWSC-312641-CS-INDV Assignment Title: Consultancy to Draft a National Disaster Risk Finance Strategy for the Kingdom of Eswatini • Background The ability of the Kingdom of Eswatini to develop sustainably is challenged by its vulnerability to climate-related shocks and hazards which include droughts, wildfires, and floods. These shocks have wreaked havoc on an increasing scale in recent years, and their increasing trends remain a concern to the country’s socio-economic and sustainable development. This, together with the concentration of social assets in risk-prone areas due to population increase, inappropriate and ad hoc land use planning, contribute to rising economic loss and human sufferings from these shocks. It is, therefore, important for the government to assess the economic and fiscal impacts of disasters and ensure timely availability of financial resources for disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and reconstruction which can reduce financial distress, and ultimately the human and economic cost of disasters. The Sendai Framework (SF) for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 advocates for ‘the substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries. It recognizes that government has the primary role to reduce disaster risk, but that responsibility should be shared with other stakeholders including local government, the private sector and other stakeholders. Implicit in the goal of the Sendai Framework is the need for countries to allocate, facilitate new, and leverage existing resources. 2. Assignment Objectives and Scope The objective of the consultancy is to support the GoE in developing a National Disaster Risk Finance Strategy (DRFS) and action plan that includes a financing plan for disaster relief, early recovery and reconstruction, covering, as relevant, the full range of potential disaster risk financing instruments and policy developments. The strategy will be developed under the joint leadership of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Economic Planning and Development and the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) constituting the DRFS steering committee responsible for implementation of the DRFS.

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES – FIRMS SELECTION) DEVELOPMENT OF DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR URBAN AREAS AND TOWNS IN THE KINGDOM OF ESWATINI Assignment Title: Consulting services to develop comprehensive drought management plans for the urban areas and towns in the Kingdom of Eswatini under the EWSSAP. Reference No.: SZ-EWSC-259721-CS-QCBS (37 of 2021/22) Background to the Assignment Eswatini is prone to recurring droughts that negatively affect national food security, water availability and power generation leading to significant socio-economic impacts stemming from loss of livelihoods. In recent times, the country has seen an increase in the risks and hazards affecting her causing widespread humanitarian and economic crises that have brought the country to the brink of economic a state of emergency. During 2015/16 rainfall season, the country experienced a severe El Niño- induced drought that resulted in massive negative impacts on the economy and livelihoods, decapitating agricultural production and wiping out traditional forms of savings in rural households. The drought caused a significant decline in water levels and availability in major rivers and water reservoirs resulting in reduced water supply in both urban and rural households. Urban areas, particularly the capital city (Mbabane) had to go for days without water for the first time in the history of the country, and the water utility company undertook an intensive water rationing for four consecutive days a week. The drought also depleted groundwater sources particularly affecting rural communities and resulting in long-term impacts on aquifer recharge and groundwater supply with springs and boreholes drying up. Furthermore, the drought destroyed wildlife (flora and fauna) and domestic livestock, slowed down economic activity and affected the overall quality of life of households resulting in about 620,000 people relying on food support or cash transfers for survival.
