**Organizational Context**:
The **Risk-informed Early Action Partnership** (REAP, also ‘the Partnership’) brings together stakeholders across the climate, humanitarian, and development communities with the aim of making 1 billion people safer from disasters by 2025, by embedding early action at scale. REAP was launched at the UN Climate Action Summit in 2019, with **four targets** designed to drive a systemic shift towards acting earlier, to reduce the impacts of disasters. REAP has also identified three drivers of change which inform its approach towards the 4 Targets, as set out in the **REAP Strategic Vision** and **REAP Framework for Action**.

The governance structure of the Partnership includes:

- A Governing Board which is representative of the broader Partnership and is the ultimate decision-making body.
- A small Technical Advisory Group, which provides advice on matters relating to the fulfilment of the Partnership’s objectives.
- Working Groups that focus on technical areas linked to the 4 Targets.
- A Secretariat, hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

The Governing Board meets three times per year (approx. February, May and October). The Technical Advisory Group meets approximately five times a year. The frequency of Working Group meetings is determined by each group but ranges from every four to every six weeks. Working Groups are one of the primary channels through which Partners gather together to collaborate on specific topics, but membership is voluntary and not every Partner is a member of a Working Group. Outside of these structures, regular communication with the Partnership takes place through a monthly call, usually attended by 40-50 individuals, in which a small number of Partners present their work, and the Secretariat shares updates on the work it is undertaking. All meetings take place virtually, given the distributed nature of the Partnership. In-person gatherings of the Partnership are infrequent and typically take place at international conferences (for example, REAP held an evening reception at COP27 and COP28).

As of January 2024, REAP has grown from an initial 34 to **86 Partners** from governments, UN agencies, intergovernmental organisations, associated networks, civil society, academia, and the private sector. These Partners span the climate, humanitarian and development communities and are engaged in a broad range of activities relevant to early warning and early action. This diversity is a key strength of the Partnership. It also presents challenges, given the broad range of perspectives the Partnership brings together, as well as the geographical spread of its Partners. Furthermore, engagement is not even across all Partners; some are more active than others.

**Job Purpose**:
In 2023, REAP undertook **an external evaluation** of its activities (the ‘Partnership Stocktake’), which noted support for REAP to continue beyond 2025. The report also highlighted (among others) the following important considerations.

The landscape of early warning and early action initiatives has become more complex, and the separation of mandates less clear over time. This consultancy will have to grapple with the long-term implications of this changing landscape; guide REAP in identifying where the persistent gaps in support for early action lie; and help Partners answer the questions of whether REAP is the right vehicle to address them and if so, in what ways it needs to change.

There is a diversity of opinions on what the priority/priorities should be for REAP in a post-2025 environment. This is unsurprising given the diversity of the Partnership. A key requirement of this consultancy will be enabling alignment of the perspectives of REAP’s many Partners, to arrive at a way forward.

Given the complexity of REAP’s operating environment, the successful consultant will need to challenge Partners to innovate and prioritise across a range of issues in a dynamic and creative way. The process must be inclusive and participatory, and the consultant will need to ensure tangible ownership of the outcomes by Partners (and other stakeholders where relevant) so that after 2025, REAP’s future is intentionally crafted and owned by its Partners.

The purpose of this consultancy is to enable the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership to determine what its future should be after the end of 2025. The consultant will design and facilitate a process to co-develop a post-2025 strategy and results framework, or exit plan, with relevant stakeholders.

**Job Duties and Responsibilities**:
This consultancy will involve three broad areas of activity.
