Important Notice Regarding COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19: This CFP is being launched at a time of great uncertainty in Sudan and around the world as governments and the United Nations are coming to grips with the global COVID-19 pandemic. Considering how rapidly COVID 19 is evolving and how much has changed globally and in Sudan in a short timeframe, it must be considered that some of the requirements outlined in this CFP may change during the solicitation period; and should requirements change, relevant updates will be shared on UNGM. Likewise, should potential Applicants consider that any of the requirements outlined in this CFP be impossible to achieve due to the impact of COVID-19, they should make their concerns known to the UNOPS focal point stipulated below. 

As UNOPS adheres to the ‘Do No Harm’ principle and supports safe implementation of all project activities, the Applicant(s) must explain how they plan to protect staff and beneficiaries from the risks of COVID-19 and budget for appropriate risk mitigation equipment and supplies, if not already purchased beforehand. The Applicant(s) must comply with the Government of Sudan regulations, and should adhere to  best  practices in health and safety, including from guidance issued by the World Health Organization. 

The Applicant(s) are required to submit an additional methodology of project activities that can be done in compliance with movement/public gathering restrictions that might be imposed by the Government of Sudan before or during project implementation. The selected Grantee(s) will be expected to achieve Project Outputs with the alternative remote methodology in case of movement restrictions. The alternative methodology should be used only after UNMAS Sudan approval. The alternative methodology should include detailed description of the activities, monitoring and evaluation approach, data collection methodologies, impact measurement tools and other relevant components that will be done remotely or/and in compliance with relevant government’s limitations on public gathering and movements.
