This document provides a template for drafting a Scope of Work (SOW) that a lead inventory agency may use to develop a solicitation, e.g., Request for Proposal/Terms of Reference (RFP/ToR). The lead inventory agency, upon customizing this SOW to reflect national circumstances, may distribute it to seek a consultant with whom to contract to develop emission/removal estimates for the National GHG Inventory. This document is part of the GHG data repository tool, and may apply to the consultants listed in the completed Template: Institutional Arrangements. (depending on the sector).

1.1 Project backgroundThe project, ‘Managing Coastal Aquifer in Selected Pacific SIDS’, is supported by the Global Environment Facility and is being implemented by UNDP and executed by the Disaster and Community Resilience Programme (Geoscience Energy Maritime Division) of the Pacific Community (SPC) in the Republic of Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau, and Tuvalu. The four-year (2021–2024), USD 5.2 million project aims at improving the understanding, use, management and protection of coastal aquifers towards enhanced water security, including in the context of a changing climate. More specifically it aims at 1) identifying the extent, threats and the development potential of groundwater resources, 2) increasing awareness of groundwater as a water security supply source, 3) providing options for improved access to groundwater and 4) and improving aquifer protection and management, within Pacific Small Island Developing States.1.2 Mission objectives and outcomes

Managing Water Scarcity through Strengthened Water Resource Management Project in Tuvalu is the second phase of the previous Strengthening Water Security in the Vulnerable Island States that aim to improve the water resource storage system to enhance resilience in communities. This regional project covers 5 Islands which are Cook Island, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Tokelau, and Tuvalu. The project's long-term goal is for communities to be less susceptible to water scarcity. This project is funded by New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and implemented by the Pacific Community (SPC).The sole purpose of the household water survey was to collect data and information about the conditions of water storage and catchment system at the household level on all Island of Tuvalu. As the Tuvalu Water Investment Plan needs solid and up-to-date data and information on the current storage capacity on each island of Tuvalu. The survey is a preliminary step towards the achievement of the investment plan.
