The USAID-funded Climate Adaptation Support Activity (CASA), implemented by Tetra Tech International Development (International Development Jobs - Tetra Tech), is currently accepting expressions of interest for Nexus Environmental Assessment Tool (NEAT ) Specialists for short-term technical assignments. Assignments will be remote and may require intermittent travel to Geneva, Switzerland. Assignments will be reimbursed based on an agreed upon Level of Effort (LOE).
Note this call for EOIs is ongoing. Specialists’ credentials and interest will be retained in our database and engaged as needs are identified.
The Nexus Environmental Assessment Tool (NEAT ) is a free and open-source project-level screening tool designed for humanitarian actors to identify issues of environmental concern. The tool combines environmental data with site-specific and activity-based questions to automatically analyze and flag priority environmental and climate risks. This allows the users and organizations to understand environmental sensitivities, mitigate risks, and find opportunities to collaborate on greener humanitarian operations. The NEAT was developed by the Coordination of Assessments for Environment in Humanitarian Action Joint Initiative (with members representing the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), IUCN, MSB, WWF, JEU, UNHCR, and USAID) and is based on an original tool built by NRC. CASA received funding from USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) to support the NEAT and the activities of the NEAT Steering Committee and the tool’s custodial organization, the Joint UNEP/OCHA Environment Unit (JEU).
The NEAT Specialist will provide technical support to strengthen coordination between NEAT donors and stakeholders to guide the development of goals and strategic objectives for NEAT improvements and advance progress towards those objectives in line with the priorities of the NEAT Steering Committee. The initial timeline for this consultancy is six months, with the possibility of an extension. Responsibilities below are subject to change during scope finalization.
