Solomon Islands Knowledge-Action-Sustainability for Resilient Villages project has a consultant assignment based in Honiara for interested and qualified applicants on this locally-led climate adaptation project.

The Climate Change Film Consultant will work closely with the SOLKAS Project Management Unit (PMU) of Solomon Islands Knowledge-Action-Sustainability for Resilient Villages (SOLKAS) Project to advise on climate change materials and create a short film on Climate Change (of about 8-9 minutes running time) to promote awareness of climate change and adaptation actions in rural communities.

The SOLKAS Project is one of the largest locally-led adaptation projects globally, and one of the first with a strong focus on the education sector. Largely funded under the Green Climate Fund (GCF) with co-finance from the governments of Australia, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands, the project will reduce children, youth and communities’ exposure to climate hazards and help build sustainable, resilient communities and livelihoods in the context of climate change. SOLKAS is a partnership with the Government of the Solomon Islands, through the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management, and Meteorology (MECDM), and Save the Children Solomon Islands (SCSI). Implementing ministries include MEHRD, MAL, MRD, MWYCA, MFMR, MECDM and MPGIS.

Working with communities across six provinces, the project will strengthen resilience to climate change impacts by strengthening the capacities of national, subnational, and local governments, communities, and schools to understand, plan for and implement responses to the climate crisis through 3 components:

1. Community-led development of adaptation plans, building climate change knowledge and skills, and access to climate change information;
2. Resilient livelihoods, food and nutrition security, and school-level building retro-fits; and
3. Institutional strengthening.

This consultancy will work with SOLKAS Project Management Unit (PMU), the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology, and the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs and partners to contribute to component 1 by developing a film to raise awareness on climate change targeting audiences in rural communities and schools.

We are looking for suitably qualified and experienced consultant/consultancy group to fill the consultancy role of Climate Change Film Consultant (National) for an estimated period of 2.5 months working closely with SOLKAS PMU staff and partners, based in Honiara, to deliver in line with timeframes and deliverables outlined in the Terms of Reference.
