The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has developed the project entitled “Capacity development to catalyze actions and commitments at the national and global level to reduce plastic pollution including in the marine environment” to support countries most in need; including from the Asia-Pacific States, African States and Group of Latin America and the Caribbean (GRULAC) States, such as Trinidad and Tobago.
The project aims to support countries to undertake enabling activities that catalyse actions and commitments at the national and global level to reduce plastic pollution, including in the marine environment. This will be undertaken through the development and implementation of legal and collaborative frameworks and strategic planning, such as through the development of a national source inventory and national action plan (NAP) on plastic pollution and marine litter.
The project components are as follows:
- Establishment of a National Steering Committee and Project Team;
- Stakeholder Consultation Process;
- Gap Analysis and Data Collection;
- National Source Inventory Report;
- Legislation and Policy Review and Analysis;
- National Roadmap/Strategy/Plan;
- Stakeholder Validation Process;
- Capacity Development;
- Knowledge management and sharing; and
- Awareness Raising
The Project Team is seeking to recruit a suitably qualified and experienced individual Communications Consultant. The Consultant will be required to develop communications materials under Component 10: Awareness Raising and the work will be guided by the developed outputs under Components 2-7 and 9 of the project.
