1 TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) FOR CONTRACTS FOR RECP ASSESSMENTS AND SERVICES, IN MYANMAR A) General Background Information 19 October 2017 Appendix 1 The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. The mandate of UNIDO is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition. Under the Division for Programme Development and Technical Cooperation (PTC), the responsibility of UNIDO s Environment Branch (ENV) is to contribute to inclusive and sustainable industrial development by improving the environmental performance, resource productivity and safety of existing, as well as by supporting the creation of new industries providing environmental goods and services. This assignment will contribute to these activities. B) Project Background and Aim Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) applies proven preventive environmental approaches and productivity techniques to achieve the triple benefits of: (i) improved resource productivity (hence reduced operational costs and reduced use of materials, energy and water); (ii) reduced environmental impacts (less waste, emissions and pollution) and (iii) improved occupational and community health and safety. UNIDO has gained valuable experience in implementing RECP in South East Asia (in particular Viet Nam, Cambodia, Lao and Indonesia) as well as elsewhere in Asia and globally under its joint global RECP Programme with UN Environment, funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO ( The pilot national RECP programme in Myanmar is aimed at improving resource efficiency and environmental performance of enterprises, in particular small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), through the adaptation and adoption of internationally proven RECP methods and techniques. The design and core activities of the pilot programme have been tailored to the present transitional stage in the socio-economic development of the country, which is characterized by: relatively weak institutions and governance; defaults in national environmental policy framework; rapid change-over in government and resulting uncertainty about policy direction. Specific outputs pertain to enabling multi-stakeholder dialogues; technical capacity building for RECP service delivery; and industry demonstrations. C) Scope of the Contracted Services The service required will need to build on existing and past RECP activities (previously RECP trainings and baseline data collection activities were conducted among the targeted companies) and focus on RECP demonstrations in 18 selected companies and dissemination information workshops targeting industry representatives, enterprise managers and key staff to understand the business case of improved environmental performance and responsible management. More information in this area can be found on the project website under For this purpose, at least 18 companies in the two selected areas of Yangon and Mandalay will receive RECP assessments. The conducted RECP assessment must fulfil high quality and international UNIDO/PTC/ENV-em Page 1 October 2017

2 standards and should be aligned with UNIDO s methodology 1. Proposed RECP options are to be technically and financially evaluated and presented to the demonstration companies. Moreover, the project management unit (PMU) based in Yangon will receive dedicated coaching services to take-over the possible function of future RECP experts and trainers. Activities under the proposed contract The PMU will participate in the activities undertaken under the proposed contract, but their role will be mainly limited to coordination and facilitation as well as to the receiving of coaching inputs. The following table provides the set of activities to be carried out under the proposed contract: RECP Assessment and Demonstration RECP Capacity Building and Coaching Dissemination information workshops Conduct 18 RECP Assessments according to UNIDO s methodology (including 14 audits in Yangon and 4 audits in Mandalay area) targeting the food processing, textile and hotel sectors. Propose RECP options based on the energy and material balance of the selected production line, including the expected reduction in energy, material, water and chemicals consumption. Conduct a technical and financial feasibility study for the prioritized options in coordination with the company s management and the PMU. Establish an implementation plan of the RECP options identified for each company. Minimum of two visits per demonstration company: i) Conducting the RECP audit; and, ii) Presenting the RECP options to the company and the proposed implementation plan. During the RECP assessment and demonstration process, provide hands-on training activities on RECP and low-carbon technology to the company staff. Conduct coaching to the PMU that will participate in the company visits and closely liaise with the participating companies. The PMU should learn on how to conduct RECP assessments and preparing the technical and financial feasibility studies. Conduct dedicated dissemination information workshops on RECP and its business case targeting company management, key staff and industry representatives. Hereby, general good practice examples and potential success stories should be highlighted. In total two one-day workshops will be organized consisting of one in Yangon and the other one in Mandalay area. The one-day workshop should have a minimum of 20 participants per location. The venue arrangement and organization will be part of the offer and will be coordinated with the PMU.
