Local Consultant – Flood insurance expert
Location : BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Application Deadline : 02-Sep-16 (Midnight New York, USA) Time left : 9d 10h 2m Additional Category : Resilience and Climate Change Type of Contract : Individual Contract Post Level : National Consultant Languages Required : English Starting Date :
(date when the selected candidate is expected to start) 19-Sep-2016 Expected Duration of Assignment : Sept 2016– Dec 2016 Purpose
The purpose of this project is to transfer technologies for climate resilient flood management in Vrbas River Basin, UNDP, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) to enable the communities of the Vrbas basin to adapt to flood risk through the transfer of adaptation technologies for climate resilient flood management, upgrade and rehabilitation of the hydrometric monitoring network, development of a flood forecasting system and early warning system, development of emergency response plans, and provision of training in flood-specific civil protection. Importantly, the project will provide targeted training on climate-induced FRM to over 100 practitioners and decisions makers, and will develop an institutional capacity development plan for the long-term development of capability and capacity in Flood Risk Management (FRM). The project will work closely with affected communities to introduce climate resilient community-based non-structural measures and provide training to local communities in climate resilient FRM. This will include the introduction of agro-forestry, community-based early warning systems, reforestation and introduction of financial instruments such as index-based flood insurance and credit deference schemes as a means of compensating for flood damages for agriculture.
Objective
The overall objective of this assignment is to prepare the feasibility study for index-based flood insurance including a detailed review of existing risk financing planning legislation and policies for development and economic protection from high flood risk agricultural areas, develop a flood insurance scheme for the introduction of index-based flood insurance.
Background Information
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is a middle income country which is still recovering from the 1992-1995 war which had a devastating impact on its human, social and economic resources, leading to enormous challenges of the post-war reconstruction and economic and social recovery. This challenge has been further compounded by the transition towards market economy requiring structural reforms and improved governance. The slow rate of the post-war economic recovery of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been compounded by the negative impacts of climate change on key sectors such as agriculture, energy (hydropower), the environment and, in particular, the frequency and magnitude of flood disasters, which have tripled in frequency in the last decade. In May 2014, Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced its worst flooding in 150 years which resulted in 23 deaths and $2.7 Billion USD worth of damages which is 15% of GDP, and is expected to result in a 1.1 percent contraction in the economy this year, compared to the growth of 2.2 percent that had been predicted before the flood.
BiH is significantly exposed to the threats of climate change, but has very limited capacity to address and adapt to its negative impacts, in particular the frequency and magnitude of floods from its major rivers. The Vrbas River basin is characterized by a large rural population comprised of the poorest and most vulnerable communities in BiH, including war returnees and displaced people, with high exposure to flooding and its devastating impacts.
Duties and Responsibilities The expert should work in consultation with and under the guidance and supervision of the Project Manager (PM). Specifically, hisher responsibilities include, but are but not limited to the following:
· Reviewing the current insurance and reinsurance sector in BiH, its profile and sectors that it covers (e.g. property, contents, agriculture, perils/hazards etc.) and assess the affordability and current coverage of insurance across relevant sectors;
· Reviewing and analyzing current practices related to risk management techniques and risk financing modalities (e.g. micro-financing) in BiH in general, and cities/municipalities in Vrbas river basin, in particular;
· Analyzing of the institutional and legal environment for insurance market in BiH;
· Identify main obstacles to establishing flood insurance market in BiH;
· Provide advice on further steps on how to establish effective and sustainable flood insurance market in BiH;
· Providing progress reports to the PM;
· Archiving and documenting all activities;
· Ensuring the timely and effective management of the activities as scheduled.
