- Org. Setting Background: Created in December 1999, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is the designated focal point in the United Nations system for the coordination of efforts to reduce disasters and to ensure synergies among the disaster reduction activities of the United Nations and regional organizations and activities in both developed and less developed countries. Led by the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction (SRSG), UNDRR has over 140 staff located in its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and in regional offices. Specifically, UNDRR guides, monitors, analyses and reports on progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, supports regional and national implementation of the Framework and catalyzes action and increases global awareness to reduce disaster risk working with UN Member States and a broad range of partners and stakeholders, including civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians and the science and technology community. UNDRR thereby focuses particularly on ensuring a comprehensive and inclusive approach to disaster risk reduction, in raising awareness and engaging representatives of all relevant stakeholder groups in the strategy discussions. Background and Context Economic growth and community well-being are directly impacted by disasters. As key members of communities and drivers of growth, private sector companies have an important role to play in reducing disaster risk. With threats to communities and economic livelihoods increasing, the private sector continues to grow its understanding of where to adapt and respond. To drive change and leadership from the business community, the ARISE Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies was started by UNDRR in 2015 as the mechanism to support the private sector to become a key partner in reducing disaster risk. It has grown to over 580 members and 30 networks across the world. As an outcome of the midterm review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Reduction, there is a need and appetite to increase engagement and learn lessons to effect change in how the private sector invests in a risk-informed sustainable future. The consultancy is focused on supporting the development of BCPs within a project to strengthen the disaster resilience of SMEs across different cities. Responsibilities Reporting to the head of the Partnerships and Stakeholder Engagement Unit and working under the supervision of the programme manager, the consultant will be required to perform the following tasks: 1. Conduct a desk review of BCP tools available in connection to the objectives of UNDRR´s project to strengthen the disaster resilience of SMEs across different cities. 2. Implement an analysis demonstrating how the proposed methodology is compatible with relevant ISO standards (e.g. IS 22301). 3. Demonstrate how the methodology developed is interconnected with relevant UNDRR supported tools (e.g. the Resilience Maturity Assessment tool, Business Resilience Toolkit, Resilience in a Box, etc.). 4. Develop a methodology for businesses to prepare their novel BCPs within the context of the project considering business continuity for disaster and climate resilience, the methodology should include adequate resources such as a proto-type, templates, guidance notes for businesses and trainers, notes on how to integrate the BCP to management systems. 5. Secure that the methodology accommodates for adjustment to local contexts; for example, by incorporating city-specific components, compatibility with pre-existing tools, guides or other materials on DRR relevant to the cities of Sendai (Japan), Barcelona (Spain), and Bridgetown (Barbados). 6. Develop guidance on how to digitize the tool (i.e. ability to make the tool available online as a public good). 7. Consult with SMEs and conduct pilot testing with end users (as feasible) and incorporate feedback into the BCP methodology.
