Work Detail

Expression of Interest are invited for Social Vulnerability Assessment of Selected Coastal Communities in Nigeria. Publication Date: 04/17/2025 12:00 AM EDT EOI Deadline: 05/01/2025 11:59 PM EDT Understanding the social vulnerabilities of the coastal communities is crucial for developing effective adaptation strategies and ensuring equitable and inclusive development within the context of the emerging Blue Economy. The PROBLUE Nigeria BE Framework aims to improve integrated natural resources management for a climate-resilient and inclusive blue economy in Nigeria. As part of this initiative, a Social Vulnerability Assessment Report of Coastal Communities will be developed. This assessment will be undertaken as part of the World Bank-managed PROBLUE Trust Fund, aimed at supporting the sustainable and integrated development of marine and coastal resources. The primary objectives of this assessment are to: Identify and analyze the social vulnerabilities of coastal communities in Nigeria. This includes assessing their exposure to various risks, their sensitivity to these risks, and their capacity to cope and adapt. Develop a comprehensive understanding of the social, economic, and environmental factors that contribute to vulnerability. This may include factors such as poverty, food insecurity, limited access to resources, lack of education and healthcare, and exposure to environmental hazards. Identify vulnerable groups within coastal communities. This may include women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, indigenous communities, and other marginalized groups. Develop recommendations for addressing the identified vulnerabilities. These recommendations should be practical, feasible, and tailored to the specific needs and contexts of the target communities. Inform the development of the National Blue Economy Framework by providing data and insights on the social dimensions of coastal development.
