Northern Rural Infrastructure Development Sector Project

Environmental issues are one area of safeguards that will be emphasized under the Project during implementation. While the pre-screened subprojects are expected to have minimal long term environmental impacts, there are possibly short-term concerns for which mitigation strategies need to be designed and implemented. International expertise is needed to ensure that the subprojects have well developed and executable environmental management plans with appropriate mitigation measures based on the environmental assessment and review framework prepared. They will develop mechanisms to ensure that mitigating measures are observed and will establish reporting formats to monitor the performance of contractors during the construction phase when environmental impacts are most likely. The specialists will be based in the NPMO and will be required to visit subproject sites for monitoring purposes and training as required while being responsible to the GIC team leader.
Qualifications: 
Appropriate tertiary qualifications in environmental science or natural resource management from a recognized institution More than 10 years experience working in the field of environmental management for internationally funded development projects, some of which will have been undertaken in Lao PDR or the region Training skills would also be an advantage
