Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) has received a Grant from the African Development Bank toward the cost of the Institutional Support to African Climate Institutions Project (ISACIP) and intends to apply part of the agreed amount for this grant to payments under the contract for an individual consultant to carry out consulting services as a Crop Production Modeling Specialist for SADC-CSC ISACIP.
The Institutional Support Project to the African Climate Institutions (ISACIP) funded by the African Development Bank (ADB). It aims to strengthen the capacity of African Climate Institutions to generate climate information and to allow their wide dissemination to end users. These Institutions are: the African Centre of Meteorological Applications for Development (ACMAD) Regional Centre for Agro-meteorology and Operational Hydrology (AGRHYMET), IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) and SADC Climate Services Centre (SADC‐CSC) former Drought Monitoring Centre (DMC) in Nairobi and Gaborone respectively. ISACIP will strengthen the capacity of African Climate Institutions in order for them to generate relevant information on climate and to make them available to end users through appropriate channels.
The implementation of the project will be done through three components:
  • Production of climate‐related information,
  • Institutional strengthening, and
  • Coordinating the project.
As part of the implementation of this project, ACMAD with a mandate across the continent, acts as an Executing Agency and coordinates the implementation of the project at the other three beneficiary institutions. As part of implementation of ISACIP in SADC, the Climate Services Centre will need to recruit a shortterm Crop Production Modeling Specialist under the Downscaling of Global Climate Data and Scenarios-Services component.
The main purpose and objective of the assignment is to conduct a detailed study of the current and past initiatives on plant protection and crop production techniques in the region and at global level. He/she will also consult key experts in the region to establish the priorities and needs of the region, on the basis of which he/she will develop a regional crop modeling based on the trend of climate variability and change scenario programme.
