International consultant to provide Feasibility Study on specific insurance products offered by SEADRIF

UNDP Vietnam is seeking for International consultant to provide Feasibility Study on specific insurance products offered by SEADRIF.

The selected consultant will be responsible for conducting qualitative and quantitative research in collaboration with relevant stakeholders to assess the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of the specific insurance products that SEADRIF offers considering factors such as the existing socio-economic situation; disaster risk management and risk financing systems; and legislative structures in Vietnam. The consultant will conduct a feasibility study of the existing insurance products in their ability to contribute to a financial protection strategy along set indicators including (but not limited to): 

•    Existing programs and policies that conflict with or compliment the SEADRIF products; 
•    Gender impacts of the insurance products; 
•    Likely impacts on the Vietnamese insurance and re-insurance markets; 
•    Likely impacts on disaster risk reduction strategies; 
•    Costs compared to alternatives; 
•    Accessibility of information and premium rates, data and management required to apply and operate the products;
•    Barriers to uptake (public awareness, socio-economic situation, laws, etc.)

The consultant will conduct a comparative analysis of the disaster risk reduction and risk financing situation in Vietnam compared to the context of countries using the products, the applicability, and the differing needs of Vietnam’s national and regional contexts that need to be considered. Based on these findings, the consultant will provide a series of conclusions and realistic recommendations for Government of Viet Nam that, among other requirements, include the level of priority, existing enabling features, and possible barriers (applying SWOT analyses) of each recommendation.
