Job Description
Background
Carbon markets are demonstrating significant growth worldwide, with governments increasingly opening opportunities for international investments and emphasizing environmental sustainability. As a global organisation focused on sustainable development within the agri-food, water, and energy sectors, SNV is committed to leveraging these opportunities to drive impactful carbon credit projects activities. By joining SNV’s roster, consultants will be well-positioned to contribute to high-value carbon initiatives that align with SNV mission of creating sustainable and inclusive development solutions.
Objectives
Consultants on SNV Global’s roster will be tasked with supporting project readiness of SNV’s pre-selected countries to secure investment for the implementation of carbon projects* under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
The primary objective of this consultancy is to provide technical guidance and support in the design and development of carbon projects, ensuring alignment between project implementation and carbon credit generation. Therefore the consultant should (a) have relevant skills and knowledge of the technical assistance and investment mechanism (e.g., results-based financing, subsidies) needed to develop a specific approach (i.e. biodigesters, reforestation, etc.); and (b) be able to build a carbon project on said technical approach. Therefore, we are specifically looking for consultants with knowledge across the following sectors:
- Renewable energy (e.g., clean cooking solutions, biodigester dissemination and carbon financing, solar energy solutions for productive uses)
- Agroforestry (e.g., afforestation, reforestation, grasslands, wetlands systems, integrating carbon sequestration models)
- Water management (e.g., clean water access, watershed protection, irrigation systems with carbon credit potential)
In addition to having knowledge on implementing such project. The consultant should be able to support on linking SNV with the most relevant carbon developers that adhere to SNVs approaches and practices in the carbon sector.
Consultants will collaborate with SNV’s teams to support the pre-assessment of identified project ideas in various countries where SNV operates. The consultant should propose a financial model and technical approach, taking into account the administrative and legal frameworks both locally and globally. These initiatives must operate under the Article 6.
In addition to technical design, consultants will also develop an implementation plan to ensure the project is investment-ready and provide guidance on potential partnerships and funding sources.
* Carbon projects are development initiatives that are fully or partially funded by carbon finance through carbon markets
