The Government of Saint Lucia is currently preparing to undertake a project entitled “Kigali Amendment Enabling Activities Project” which seeks to facilitate the ratification of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and related revision of the licensing system, as well as capacity building and other related activities for adopting alternatives to hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
The Project consists of four components described below:
- Component 1 Facilitate ratification of the Kigali Amendment: The objective of this component is to attain a broader understanding of the requirements under the Kigali Amendment (KA) and to prepare the necessary instruments in support of ratification.
- Component 2 Capacity-building & training for alternatives: This component seeks to enhance capacity within the RAC servicing sector for the management of alternatives through their life cycle (use, storage, transportation and disposal).
- Component 3: Article 4B licensing & Reporting: The objective of this component is to strengthen the existing regulatory import/export licensing system to include HFCs and HFC alternatives.
- Component 4: Development of National Strategies: This component seeks to effect a change in the mindset of the RAC servicing sector towards low GWP and flammable refrigerants and to increase the uptake of their technologies.
The Government of Saint Lucia is inviting consultants to submit expressions of interest for consultancies under the four components of the Kigali Amendment Enabling Activities Project. Submissions should be guided by the Terms of References contained herein.
