National Consultant: Technical Assistance for formulation of project documentation in Ukraine

In 2008, the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) approved a Medium Size Project (MSP) that was directed to funding enabling activities in support of HCFC phase out in eligible Article 2 countries with economies in transition (CEITs) in Europe and Central Asia . The project was intended to assist these countries in maintaining or, where applicable, attaining compliance, with their Montreal Protocol obligations for HCFC phase out into the future, particularly noting the accelerated HCFC phase out requirements adopted by MOP 19. The work involved detailed surveys in individual countries which would then provide the information base to support country development of national phase out strategies and to identify needs for further international assistance in implementing these strategies at both a national level and through regional cooperation.

Resulting from this MSP project, UNDP assisted Belarus, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine in formulating the outlines of HCFC phase-out strategies which provided country specific descriptions on measures and activities needed for the partner countries to stay in compliance with the Montreal Protocol’s obligations.

As a follow-up stage, GEF approved project preparation activities (Initial Implementation of Accelerated HCFC Phase-out in the CEIT Region ) to formulate packages of technical assistance for each of the listed countries within a regional framework. As dictated by individual national HCFC consumption profiles and HCFC phase-out strategies, the project preparation assistance funded under a GEF Project preparation grant (PPG) will elaborate a project document covering all four countries. This will include national and regional technical assistance and institutional regulatory components plus direct phase out funding to consuming enterprises in investment in each nationally applicable HCFC consuming sector (refrigeration servicing and operating equipment replacement/conversion, foam, refrigeration equipment manufacturing, and solvent applications. This project document and associated GEF CEO Endorsement Request will then be submitted for the consideration of the GEF.

This Terms of Reference applies to a national consultant (the Consultant) and specifically to the national assistance in formulation of the project documentation required for the submission to the GEF facility.
