The Climate Change and Adaptation Initiative (CCAI), under the Mekong River Commission (MRC) is conducting a basin-wide assessment of climate change impacts on water and water related resources and sectors in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB). The main objective of the CCAI basin-wide assessment is to provide information on the impacts of potential future climate change on water resources and water related resources and sectors. The basin-wide assessment is composed of seven components including assessment of climate change on (1) flow, (2) flood, (3) drought, (4) hydropower, (5) ecosystems and biodiversity, (6) food security, and (7) socio-economics. The socio-economic assessment of climate change impact is a cross-cutting component of the earlier six components. While the assessment of the six components will be carried out by other respective teams of CCAI and other MRC programmes, the socio-economic assesment will be carried out by the socio-economic assessment team (SEAT) consisting of CCAI team, international and national consultants.
At the present, CCAI is looking for a national expert for socio-economic assessment of climate change impact. The national consultant for socio-economic assessment will provide technical assistance to SEAT to collect secondary data at national level, carry out data analysis, contribution in socio-economic vulnerability assessment and identification and prioritization of adaptation options at basin scale, participation in workshops, and reviewing draft reports.
