Three-Day Training Delivery on Climate Change Adaptation by UNDP Pakistan

UNDP Pakistan is hiring an individual contractor to deliver a three-day training programme to government officials in Islamabad on the subject of integrating climate change adaptation into development plans and projects. This assignment is part of UNDP's broader climate resilience and sustainable development initiatives in Pakistan. The contract duration is 25 working days spread over 1.5 months commencing from the date of contract signature. The training is intended to build capacity among federal government officials responsible for development planning and project design, ensuring that climate adaptation considerations are mainstreamed across government programmes and initiatives at the national level.

This is an individual contractor position managed through UNDP's new Quantum supplier portal system. Interested bidders must have demonstrated expertise in climate change adaptation, development planning, and government training delivery. Bidders are required to register with the UNDP Quantum supplier portal system if they have not already done so. Proposals must be submitted directly through the portal before the stated deadline. All clarification requests must be submitted in writing via the portal's messaging functionality, and UNDP will respond without identifying the source of inquiry.

Bid documents and detailed assignment terms are available through the UNDP Quantum portal using the reference number UNDP-PAK-01675. Interested bidders should create a draft response in the system to receive notifications of any tender amendments. For further information and to access the negotiation, bidders may use the quicklink provided or log in to the Supplier Portal. Queries and clarifications should be directed to Saroash Zaheer at pakistan.procurement.info@undp.org. The proposal submission deadline is 6 August 2026 at 3:00 PM New York time.

UNDP is seeking a specialist trainer to deliver three days of in-person instruction to Pakistani government officials on climate adaptation mainstreaming. This is a consultancy spanning 25 working days across six weeks, suggesting significant preparation, delivery and follow-up work beyond the classroom hours. The trainer must combine technical depth in adaptation policy with facilitation skills for a government audience; experience with Pakistani institutional contexts is likely advantageous. The relatively compact timeline (deadline 6 August 2026) indicates urgency. This appears to be a one-off, non-recurring assignment tied to a specific capacity-building intervention.

Who can bid: Typically, individual contractor positions at UNDP require Pakistani nationality or international eligibility as per UNDP rules, relevant tertiary qualification, and proven experience in climate change adaptation and training delivery. Specific PEC registration is not applicable for this consultant role. NTN registration may be required for contract execution. The notice does not explicitly state restrictions, but UNDP generally requires bidders to be non-staff and have no conflict of interest with the organisation.
