In the context of the increasing presence and ongoing threat of climate change and the urgent imperative for inclusive economic development that leaves “no one behind”, there is a pressing need to prioritise initiatives with combined economic (Profit), social (People) and environmental (Planet) outcomes.
World Vision has a long history of implementing programmes that address the impacts and causes of climate change and deliver positive economic and social outcomes for vulnerable communities and the natural environment.
With our current programming footprint in livelihoods programs and related environmental and other technical approaches, World Vision Australia has an opportunity to deepen our impact in the area of Green growth (“…fostering economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies”-OECD). However, the organisation has not scoped what this would look like in relation to our existing core technical approaches of iMSD, financial inclusion, WEE and other approaches related environment. Furthermore, there has been limited scoping of how economic development and environmental programming models can be better integrated to deepen ‘win-win’ economic and environmental outcomes, considering the potential trade-offs.
To help World Vision to get better understanding the landscape and purpose recommendation to move forward, we are looking for a short-term consultant/consultancy.
There will be two key deliverables:
1. Literature review canvassing sector/WV and with recommendations:
1a. 20 to 25-page report;
1b. Presentation on findings; and

2. Working Green growth/economy approach for WV to test in future programming:
2a. 20 to 30-page report;
