National Consultant – Climate Risk and Vulnerability Analysis (Remote, 70 days)

Background & Job Description

Nigeria ranks among the top ten most climate-vulnerable countries globally. In response, UNICEF Nigeria has been implementing several climate change initiatives, including the Green Rising project and the WASH sector climate risk and vulnerability analysis. The Climate Resilient Infrastructure for Basic Services (CRIBS) project, developed in collaboration with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), aims to assess and mitigate climate risks in primary healthcare facilities (PHCs) and schools. The first phase of CRIBS successfully rehabilitated 84 facilities across Kano and Jigawa states, integrating climate-resilient solutions. Building on this success, Phase II will scale these interventions to additional states. A key component of this phase is the climate risk and vulnerability analysis, which includes refining assessment tools and ensuring data quality.
