The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) through the Community Disaster Risk Reduction Fund has allocated financing to three sub-projects in Jamaica. CDB intends to carry out three baseline and knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) studies with accompanying gender analysis under a contract for which this invitation is issued. The financing shall not be used for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of CDB, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. No party other than CDB shall derive any rights from the financing or have any claim to the proceeds of the financing.

CDB now wishes to procure consultancy services for the conduct of three disaster risk reduction and climate change baseline and KAP Studies and associated gender analysis in Jamaica. The objective of the consultancy is to carry out surveys in three sub-project communities and among targeted groups in the parishes of Clarendon, St. Thomas and Westmoreland to determine the current levels of awareness about disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation strategies. These baseline and KAP studies should be accompanied by a gender analysis.
