Open Supplier Meeting for the Scottish Government Climate Justice Communities Opportunity

The Scottish Government is seeking to contract with a service provider who will scope, design and deliver a wide ranging, multiyear climate justice programme within Malawi, Zambia and Rwanda.

This programme will be driven by and meet the climate justice needs identified by the most marginalised within communities most at risk to the impacts of climate change within Malawi, Zambia and Rwanda. Throughout design and implementation, the programme must pay particular attention to embedding participatory processes with communities.

This supplier event will provide details on the programme specification and answer any questions in relation to this or the procurement process.

The Scottish Government launched the world’s first dedicated government led Climate Justice Fund (CJF) in 2012, and committed to making a total of £21m available through to 2021 to support some of the world’s most marginalised people in becoming more resilient to climate change.

The latest four-year funding cycle drew to a close in September 2021, presenting an important opportunity to review lessons learnt and reflect the changing context and global understanding of climate justice in future programmes. In March 2021, the Scottish Government launched an independent evaluation of the CJF’s work to date, drawing on the experiences of those who have implemented or been directly supported by the Fund; particularly from our international development partner countries of Malawi, Zambia and Rwanda. The evaluation also considered the latest international definitions of climate justice as a theory. The Evaluation made 25 findings and several recommendations which have guided Scottish Government approach to the future CJF which will be relaunched in March 2022.

This programme will be the first of the relaunched Climate Justice Fund, and will be designed to incorporate the findings of the recent Climate Justice Fund Evaluation.
