Overview of position Yemen s development challenges are deeply shaped by the intersection of climate impacts, fragility, and constrained service delivery, making climate-resilient and low-emission investments both urgent and complex. The Yemen Country Climate and Development Report highlights the development conflict climate nexus and underscores the need for coordinated approaches that integrate development needs with climate action, particularly given climate-induced disasters such as droughts, floods, and extreme heat that amplify existing vulnerabilities. In parallel, Yemen has demonstrated commitment to strengthening its national climate planning landscape, including the NDC 3.0 vision and framework, the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), and the Long-Term / Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS). The development of a Climate Finance Strategy and Investment Plan is intended to help Yemen better understand climate finance needs, map current climate finance flows, strengthen institutional coordination, and identify feasible financing pathways aligned with national priorities and implementation realities. Our client has engaged an International Climate Finance Consultant to provide overall technical leadership, quality assurance, and drafting across the assignment. To support the in-country workstream,our client intends to engage two complementary field-based national consultants: (i) a National Climate Finance and Institutional Mapping Consultant; and (ii) a National Climate Stakeholder Engagement and Validation Consultant. The two national consultants will work in close coordination under the technical supervision of the international consultant, but with clearly differentiated roles to avoid duplication and to ensure efficient delivery of the analytical and consultative workstreams. Through this ToR, our client seeks a field-based National Climate Finance and Institutional Mapping Consultant to lead the in-country technical and analytical support stream related to institutional stocktaking, climate finance evidence compilation, data structuring, finance-flow mapping, and technical inputs to strategy formulation. To avoid duplication, stakeholder outreach logistics, consultation scheduling, workshop organization, participant management, and structured validation facilitation will be led by the National Climate Stakeholder Engagement and Validation Consultant, while this consultant will focus primarily on technical analysis, datasets, and institutional/finance mapping. In coordination with the National Climate Stakeholder Engagement and Validation Consultant, the National Climate Finance and Institutional Mapping Consultant will provide in-country technical support for the development of the Climate Finance Strategy and Investment Plan for Yemen. Under the technical supervision of the International Climate Finance Consultant and the overall guidance of our client Yemen, the consultant will serve as the lead national focal point for the analytical workstream related to institutional stocktaking, climate finance needs evidence, climate finance flow data collection and structuring, institutional mapping, finance-flow mapping, and technical documentation. The consultant will support the consultative and validation process by providing technical inputs, analytical summaries, and subject-matter clarification for meetings, consultations, and workshops organized primarily by the National Climate Stakeholder Engagement and Validation Consultant.

Activity 3. Formulate a Climate Finance Strategy, including the aspects relevant to medium-term fiscal policy and planning, and recommendations for public expenditure alignment, as well as private domestic and international financial mechanisms, and innovative blended finance approaches if/where feasible.

Activity 4. Conduct a capacity-building and validation workshop to strengthen coordination and management of climate finance.
