Contract

This is a National Consultant contract. More about National Consultant contracts.

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic came at a time when Lebanon was already under an unprecedented shock due to the socio-economic-financial crisis and the Syrian refugee crisis. This pandemic is a health, humanitarian and development crisis that is threatening to leave deep social, economic, and political scars for years to come, particularly in countries such as Lebanon already weighed down by fragility, poverty, and conflict. UNDP is responding to a growing volume of requests from countries to help them prepare for, respond to, and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing particularly on the most vulnerable, and Lebanon is one of them.

It is also imperative to assist Lebanese public health care institutions that are tasked to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic to become more cost-effective, more comfort-related, environmentally responsible, especially with respect to energy-use. Interventions that ease the cost pressures, increase reliability, and improve the environmental performance of energy provision will impact positively on the health of the Lebanese and refugee population in which they provide health care services for.

Funded by KfW Bankengruppe and in coordination with the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, the Response to the impact of COVID-19 in Lebanon will work on several activities, including Activity 1.3 “Implementing solar for health initiatives”. Sustainable energy interventions will be designed and implemented to target 10 public sector hospitals that were selected in different regions of Lebanon under the Ministry of Public Health Phase 1 plan for COVID-19 response.
