ICLEI \u2013 Local Governments for Sustainability Southeast Asia Secretariat (ICLEI SEAS) serves as the co-implementor of the European Union-funded Access to Sustainable Energy in the Philippines – Clean Energy Living Laboratories (ASEP-CELLs). The three-year project is being implemented by the Ateneo de Manila University as the lead implementor, along with the ICLEI SEAS, Manila Observatory, University of San Carlos, and Xavier University.\u00a0 The ASEP-CELLs aim to (1) develop a sustainable knowledge management system; (2) create learning opportunities and build capacities of various stakeholders; and (3) increase public awareness and engagement. The ASEP- CELLs support ASEP\u2019s three goals of increasing rural electrification (or energy access for all), energy efficiency, and the share of renewables in the energy mix (i.e., \u201cEA, EE, and RE\u201d). ICLEI SEAS brings its strong partnership with local governments and strength on sustainable development solutions to help achieve the goals of the ASEP-CELLs. The organization\u2019s tasks mainly revolve on capacitating demonstration local government units to mainstream energy plan in their local planning and development and support the advocacy and knowledge management pillars of the ASEP-CELLs.<\/p>\n
ICLEI SEAS through the ASEP-CELLs is presently assisting mainstreaming RA 11285 or the Philippine Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act and its implementing Rules and Regulations. ICLEI SEAS is also closely coordinating with its demonstration sites, the local governments of Santa Rosa City, Bohol Province, and Cagayan de Oro City, to come up with a local energy efficiency and conservation plan (LEECP) as mandated by RA 11285.<\/p>\n
The short-term consultancy shall start by 04 January 2021<\/strong> and end by 30 of June 2021<\/strong>. The consultancy is based in Metro Manila; however, some coordination meetings will be done online.<\/p>\n The consultant will also join ICLEI SEAS in coordination meetings such as presenting progress of the Guidebook to the DOE-EUMB at its headquarters in Taguig City. Domestic travel is possible, specifically for the ASEP-CELLs demo sites, i.e., Santa Rosa, Bohol, and Cagayan de Oro, for a capacity building workshop once travel restrictions have eased.<\/p>\n At the end of the consultancy period, the following outputs are expected:<\/p>\n Develop the LGU Guidebook for LEECP Formulation<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n a. Develop the Guidebook for LGU in the Formulation of LEECP including steps, outline, framework, resources, and skills, building upon the initial LEECP summary template from DOE EUMB, DOE issuances on RA 11285, the Government Energy Management Program, the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Roadmap, and other relevant materials and policies;<\/p>\n b. Engage and consult with relevant agencies and key stakeholders particularly the DOE, DILG, ASEP-CELLs and ICLEI\u2019s three (3) demonstration sites;<\/p>\n c. Provide references on 1) finance, 2) best practices and policies, 3) technology; 4) tools (e.g. those related to energy audit, financing, energy modelling, GHG emissions calculation, etc.) which can be used by the LGUs in the development of its LEECP.<\/p>\n Assist the ICLEI\u2019s three (3) demonstration sites to develop its respective LEECPs and enhance its existing system for implementation and monitoring\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n a. Design and facilitate training workshops for the three (3) ASEP-CELLs demonstration sites to develop their capacities to formulate their respective LEECPs.\u00a0(Note: The capacity building workshop can coincide with an international forum, i.e. the Asia Clean Energy Forum at the Asian Development Bank that may take place in June 2021<\/em>)<\/p>\n b. Recommend improvement on existing data management system and process flows of the LGU in order to develop and implement the LEECP, as well as monitor achievement of its targets<\/p>\n Develop basic knowledge products to promote the use of the Guidebook\u00a0a. Develop a back-to-back brochure to popularize the information contained in the Guidebook and encourage use of LGUs.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n In addition to the aforementioned scope of work, the consultant may propose other activities to enhance the quality of deliverables, provided that it will not delay or incur additional cost for the project.<\/p>\n All data, documents, reports, and any purchased equipment such as laptops or camera shall be the property of ICLEI SEAS, and shall be turned over upon completion of the assignment. The consultant shall not pass on to any third party any data, documents, reports, or other materials prepared or obtained during the assignment and three (3) years thereafter.<\/p>\n The consultant will report directly to ICLEI SEAS Project Officers for ASEP-CELLs.<\/p>\n Interested individuals\/firms are requested to apply before\u00a018 December 2020 (Friday)<\/strong> by sending the following documents to Ms. Nikki Ortiz<\/strong> via nikki.ortiz@iclei.org;<\/span><\/a>\u00a0cc: Mr. Kenneth Hizon<\/strong> via kenneth.hizon@iclei.org<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n For any queries, please contact ICLEI SEAS via email address above or at (632) 8426-0851.<\/p>\nSCOPE OF WORK AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS<\/h4>\n
