Assignment Description

International Finance Corporation (IFC) is looking to support the development of a Community Participatory Pipeline Monitoring Program (CPMP) for the construction of a liquefied natural gas pipeline by IFC’s client. The objective of the CPMP is to develop a mechanism and build the capacity of project affected communities for their participation in the monitoring of the Company's social and environmental performance during the construction phase of the Project. While the CPMP will be based on international best practice, it will be designed to be culturally appropriate and build capacity to ensure that community monitors are confident in their ability to use the instruments to conduct audits and communicate accurate and timely information to the project affected people and public at large. To aid in the design of the CPMP and provide advice on international best practice, IFC is seeking to hire an international expert (the Consultant) who will provide high level support and advisory services to the Company and the successful Contractor.
