Posted on by

energyDeadline: 11-Jun-2018 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.)

The overall approach for the energy audits will be: Analyze energy consumption and costs: Collect, organize, and analyze past energy bills. Compare energy performance: Determine the energy use and resources that can help compare them internally from one period to another, from one facility to a similar one, or from one system to another. Profile energy use patterns: Determine the time and relationships of energy use such as the electricity demand profile. Inventorize energy use: Prepare a list of all energy-consuming loads/efficiencies in the audit area and measure their consumption and demand. Identify Energy Management Opportunities (EMOs): Include operational and technological measures to reduce energy usage. Assess the benefits: Measure the potential energy and cost savings, along with any other benefits.

eC2:Capacity Building on the Hazard and Exposure Database for Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative (PCRAFI)

Posted on by

Deadline:  06-Jun-2018 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.) vn-communitybased-disasterrisk-780x439

The following Terms of Reference (ToR) describes the requirement of the project to update the regional hazard and exposure database of 14 countries that underpins the PCRAFI Insurance Program. The PICs have limited capacity in this area and the engagement of a firm with regional experience in hazard and exposure databases will assist them to build their capacity in this area to undertake the work going forward. In 2010, the WB began implementing the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative (PCRAFI), a regional technical assistance activity to lay down the foundation for a regional catastrophe risk pool for PICs, primarily to establish a regional repository of hazard and national exposure data (e.g. public infrastructure, buildings, homes; land-use, etc.) required to assess the viability of pooling climate and disaster risk across 14 PICs. The model that would contain the data has already been developed, piloted, and used in determining pay-outs over the past three years. However, the data is from 2010 and must be updated as soon as possible for the model to accurately protect household, business and government assets that face exposure to disaster related risks.

eC2:Research: Business Case for Gender Lens-Investing in Private Equity in Emerging Markets

Posted on by

Deadline: 30-May-2018 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.) gender_accelerating_womens_economic_empowerment_780x439

IFC seeks to procure a firm to research the business case for gender-lens investing for private equity (PE)and venture capital (VC)funds in emerging markets. Gender-lens investing, the use of gender as a category of analysis in investment decision making, is relatively small, but the market for integrating gender into the investment selection process is growing in both size and sophistication. Women are heavily under-represented when it comes to PE fund managers, angel and VC investors, and as fund investees. Yet, we also know that financial performance of companies is correlated to gender diversity. Limited representation of women may be hurting fund performance portfolios. PE/VC funds play a critical role in enterprise growth, job creation, innovation, and financial security and can play a catalytic role in closing economic participation gaps between men and women. The research will support IFC efforts to close gender gaps in access to jobs and assets.
