Climate change poses a significant threat to South Africa’s environment, economy, and society. Effective climate policies and governance are essential to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure a sustainable future for the country. However, corruption in the implementation of climate policies can hinder progress and divert resources away from critical initiatives.
To this end, Corruption Watch is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced service providers to conduct research and analysis aimed at mapping opportunities and identifying corruption risks in South Africa’s climate policies and governance. The primary objective of this project is to enhance the effectiveness of climate policies and governance in the country. The research report generated through this project will serve as an advocacy plan, which will focus on promoting accountability, integrity, and transparency in climate-related initiatives.
Scope of Work
The selected service provider will be responsible for the following tasks:
- Conduct a thorough assessment of South Africa’s climate change policies and governance structures.
- Identify key stakeholders and their roles in climate change administration and management.
- Identify corruption risks and vulnerabilities within climate change policies and governance structures.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of existing anti-corruption mechanisms in preventing and combating corruption in respect to environmental governance and related activities.
