REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES – FIRMS SELECTION) The Government of Zimbabwe Support To Zimbabwe Recovery And Resilience (SPF). Grant No.: TF0B2388 Project No. P172176 Assignment Title: Consultancy Services for the Development of a National Disaster Risk Management Communications Strategy for Zimbabwe Reference No.02/2020 Date 15 October 2020 The Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ) has received financing from the World Bank towards the implementation of the SPF: Support To Zimbabwe Recovery And Resilience Project and intends to use part of the funding to finance consultancy services for developing a National Disaster Risk Management Communications Strategy (NDRCS) for Zimbabwe. Background: Zimbabwe is facing a multitude of humanitarian and development challenges resulting from climate and economic shocks. The impact of 2018/2019 El Niño-induced drought combined with continuing macro-economic challenges have resulted in high-level of food insecurity. The impact of the March 2019 Cyclone Idai compounded Zimbabwe’s already fragile humanitarian situation, and will have far-reaching consequences extending into 2020 and beyond. The extent and duration of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and of future humanitarian needs will depend on economic and climatic developments and progress with the implementation of the Government of Zimbabwe’s (GoZ) Transition Stabilization Program (TSP). It will also depend on the ability of the GoZ and its national and international partners to support progress from early recovery towards medium-term recovery, longer-term resilience, and disaster preparedness. In a bid to see the success of various efforts, there will be need on the part of Government to have strategic communication in support of its coordination and stakeholder management for effective Disaster Risk Management (DRM), in a way that is accessible and meaningful for stakeholders, at both central and local levels. A comprehensive NDRCS for Zimbabwe, providing regular and timely analysis and distribution of information to all key stakeholder groups across the disaster cycle for multiple disasters, is proposed as a means of meeting this requirement. The main objective of this assignment is developing and operationalizing a NDRCS for Zimbabwe to support the GoZ to lead strategic communication to achieve the following objectives: • Greater public consciousness is achieved to reduce risks and vulnerabilities and respond and recover from multiple disasters • Enhanced Government communication from a more informed and coordinated position, leading to better decisions on DRM • Communities use government information to assist in identifying risk mitigation, preparedness, and response opportunities, building state visibility and citizen trust • Stakeholders groups use government information to set priorities and plan interventions, enabling closer coordination with existing humanitarian and recovery coordination architecture The GoZ through the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development now invites eligible consulting firms (Consultants) to indicate their interest in providing these services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services. The consulting firm must have and demonstrate the following requisite skills and experience in the last five years.

Grant No.: TF0B2388 Project No. P172176 Assignment Title: Consultancy Services for the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training to the Government of Zimbabwe Civil Protection Committees Reference No.04/2020 Date 15 October 2020 The Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ) has received financing from the World Bank towards the implementation of the SPF: Support To Zimbabwe Recovery And Resilience Project and intends to use part of the funding to finance consultancy services to provide Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) training to the GoZ. Background: The Department of Civil Protection (DCP), mandated with coordinating DRM, is decentralized, relying on Disaster Risk Management (DRM) coordination led at provincial, district, ward, and village levels. Disaster response utilizes two distinct coordination structures anchored in separate institutions, including (1) the National Civil Protection Committee, predominantly responsible for leading flood response and DRM policy, and (2) the National Food and Nutrition Council, under the coordination of the Office of the President and Cabinet and oversees drought management and response. The Meteorological Services Department forecasts and supports the management of weather-based disasters, informing weather advisories for agriculture, DRM, and water resources.

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES – FIRMS SELECTION) The Government of Zimbabwe Support To Zimbabwe Recovery And Resilience (SPF). Grant No.: TF0B2388 Project No. P172176 Assignment Title: Consultancy Services for the Development of a National Disaster Risk Management Communications Strategy for Zimbabwe Reference No.02/2020 Date 15 October 2020 The Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ) has received financing from the World Bank towards the implementation of the SPF: Support To Zimbabwe Recovery And Resilience Project and intends to use part of the funding to finance consultancy services for developing a National Disaster Risk Management Communications Strategy (NDRCS) for Zimbabwe. Background: Zimbabwe is facing a multitude of humanitarian and development challenges resulting from climate and economic shocks. The impact of 2018/2019 El Niño-induced drought combined with continuing macro-economic challenges have resulted in high-level of food insecurity. The impact of the March 2019 Cyclone Idai compounded Zimbabwe’s already fragile humanitarian situation, and will have far-reaching consequences extending into 2020 and beyond. The extent and duration of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and of future humanitarian needs will depend on economic and climatic developments and progress with the implementation of the Government of Zimbabwe’s (GoZ) Transition Stabilization Program (TSP). It will also depend on the ability of the GoZ and its national and international partners to support progress from early recovery towards medium-term recovery, longer-term resilience, and disaster preparedness. In a bid to see the success of various efforts, there will be need on the part of Government to have strategic communication in support of its coordination and stakeholder management for effective Disaster Risk Management (DRM), in a way that is accessible and meaningful for stakeholders, at both central and local levels. A comprehensive NDRCS for Zimbabwe, providing regular and timely analysis and distribution of information to all key stakeholder groups across the disaster cycle for multiple disasters, is proposed as a means of meeting this requirement. The main objective of this assignment is developing and operationalizing a NDRCS for Zimbabwe to support the GoZ to lead strategic communication to achieve the following objectives: • Greater public consciousness is achieved to reduce risks and vulnerabilities and respond and recover from multiple disasters • Enhanced Government communication from a more informed and coordinated position, leading to better decisions on DRM • Communities use government information to assist in identifying risk mitigation, preparedness, and response opportunities, building state visibility and citizen trust • Stakeholders groups use government information to set priorities and plan interventions, enabling closer coordination with existing humanitarian and recovery coordination architecture The GoZ through the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development now invites eligible consulting firms (Consultants) to indicate their interest in providing these services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services.

Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services.
