Project background

Peru has made notable progress in preparing for cooperative approaches under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, including the establishment of regulatory instruments such as the National Registry for Mitigation Measures (RENAMI) and the signing of bilateral agreements with Switzerland and Singapore. However, important challenges remain to fully operationalize participation in international carbon markets, including the absence of a comprehensive Article 6 implementation framework to guide coordination and implementation, limited technical capacity at the sectoral level to identify and prioritize mitigation activities, and the need for practical tools and methodologies to develop a robust pipeline of Article 6-eligible activities.

In this context, the project “Strengthening Peru’s Readiness for Article 6 Carbon Market Participation” aims to enhance Peru’s institutional, technical, and operational readiness to participate effectively in international carbon markets. It will provide capacity-building support to government stakeholders and enhance awareness among public and private actors on Article 6 requirements and opportunities. The project will also support the development of regulatory and technical instruments, strengthen institutional framework and refine criteria and tools for identifying and prioritizing mitigation activities in key sectors such as energy, transport, and industry. In addition, it will support the preparation of Mitigation Activity Identification Notes (MAINs) aligned with national priorities and Peru’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

To ensure the effective coordination and implementation of project activities and maximize stakeholder engagement and outreach, this technical assistance will engage a Coordination and Outreach Consultant with proven experience in stakeholder engagement, institutional coordination, and communications related to climate action and/or carbon markets. The consultant will support the coordination and delivery of project activities, facilitate engagement and collaboration among relevant public and private stakeholders, and contribute to effective outreach and dissemination of project outputs and key Article 6 messages. The consultant will also support the organization of capacity-building and awareness-raising activities, maintain effective communication with project stakeholders, and help strengthen linkages and coordination across the different activities and actors involved in the project.

The objective of this consultancy is to support the effective coordination, stakeholder engagement, and outreach required for the implementation of project activities aimed at strengthening Peru’s readiness to participate in cooperative approaches under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The consultant will facilitate engagement among government institutions, private sector actors, and other relevant stakeholders; support awareness-raising and knowledge-sharing activities; and contribute to effective communication and coordination around key project outputs and processes, helping to strengthen stakeholder participation, institutional ownership, and uptake of Article 6-related frameworks, tools, and opportunities.

The consultant will be responsible for a series of general and project-specific activities.

General Responsibilities:

• Support the planning, coordination, and implementation of stakeholder engagement, capacity-building, consultation, and outreach activities under the project.

• Facilitate communication and coordination among MINAM, relevant government institutions, private sector actors, development partners, and other stakeholders involved in Article 6-related activities.

• Support the preparation, dissemination, and communication of project information, knowledge products, and outreach materials, ensuring that content is appropriately tailored to relevant audiences, based on technical content developed or validated by the project team.

• Support MINAM and the project team in documenting stakeholder engagement processes, capturing feedback and inputs, and communicating project results and key messages at national and international events, workshops, and other relevant forums, as required.
