:ľ¹ÏÓ°Ôº; with support from the UK government¡¯s Foreign Commonwealth Development Office; is launching a technical assistance (TA) program on Performance Based Incentive Systems for Climate Smart Land Management and Ecosystem Services in Uganda. This TA aims to design a performance-based incentive system for managing landscapes in a manner that generates ecosystem services; rewarding improved management practices that generate ecosystem services of economic importance.The implementation of the technical assistance will involve various tasks including understanding what performance-based incentive schemes have been used in Uganda; across different sectors and determining the characteristics of those that would be most relevant for a performance-based incentive system linked to climate-smart land management for the generation of ecosystem services. It will also consider a select set of schemes being applied in the region that could be relevant for Uganda to consider.Scope of WorkThe primary objective of this assignment is to conduct a rapid mapping of performance-based incentive instruments or other relevant incentive instruments that reward outputs and outcomes that have been utilized in Uganda; in the region and globally (with an emphasis on those deployed in Uganda). The work will involve collecting data on incentive instruments currently or recently implemented in Uganda; including those by government agencies; private sector; and non-governmental organizations. This can be instruments utilized to: o Reduce conversion of native vegetation for agricultureo Improve agricultural practiceso Reduce illegal extraction of biomass for energy or other useso Improve management of forested landscapeso Preserve and manage wetlands;It will also involve the assessment of a select set performance-based incentive schemes being deployed in the region/globally that could be relevant in the context of Uganda. This scope of work will involve looking at instruments aimed at the points mentioned above; plus other sectors to extract insights and design features of performance-based schemes that could be useful for this TA. Specifically; it will involve the following tasks:1. Identify and map relevant performance-based incentive schemes:Review existing literature (including peer reviewed academic articles); planning; and strategy documents; regulations; etc. to identify a relevant performance based incentive schemes in Uganda. The review should include a broad range of relevant instruments extending beyond those focused on land management and ecosystem services. Complement the assessment above; by reviewing a select set of performance-based incentive systems deployed in contexts similar to Uganda; in the region and elsewhere; to provide some benchmarking for Uganda on the elements of an incentive system. Examples include the subnational fiscal transfers provided against evidence of climate action in Kenya; the sustainability linked bond efforts in Rwanda; Rhino bond issuance in South Africa; payments for ecosystem services in Zimbabwe; use of dedicated funds to restore degraded landscapes in Kenya; efforts to define key performance indicators related to natural assets; etc. The team will also consider efforts such as the piloting of biocredits (by IIED) and other innovative instruments being used to preserve biodiversity and restore landscapes. The consultancy will involve recommending performance-based incentive schemes that would be worth reviewing for lessons learned for Uganda and agreeing on which ones to examine with World Bank and TWG. Review existing literature (including peer reviewed academic articles); planning; and strategy documents; regulations; etc. on the performance-based incentive schemes being implemented in the region and globally that were selected based on the previous bullet point. Map the various instruments against a set of criteria. The mapping should at a minimum have the following information - location where the instrument was tested / the locations where the instrument is being implemented; the geographic scale at which it was /it is implemented; the objective of the incentive instrument (to change or to stop a practice); information on sector focus; monetary / non-monetary; type of instrument; beneficiaries; data availability; etc. 2. Deconstruct the characteristics of the performance-based incentive schemes for insights on design; assess their effectiveness; and present key lessons for application in Uganda. For each of the performance-based incentive schemes; deconstruct how they work including; for example; who are the output providers and the output users; metrics used to assess performance; how financing is mobilized; the fund flow mechanism; frequency of payments/non-monetary rewards; basis for quantifying the payment/non-monetary reward; structure of payments/non-monetary rewards; etc.Provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the incentive instruments. For example; for instruments focused on reversing drivers of land degradation; the consultancy should define ¡°effectiveness¡± with measurable metrics that can be derived from secondary data and expert interviews (e.g.; area brought under conservation; improved natural resource management; proxy of increased agriculture productivity and approximate unit cost). The selected metrics for defining ¡®effectiveness¡¯ should be discussed with the World Bank team and TWG; to define multicriteria for ranking the effectiveness of the incentive instruments. For instruments that are not focus on land degradation; the metrics should be based on the objective of the instrumenahde poFSLE GNO>REP N ERERGG MIEV HUAFE FDSA EFSPPOA E T TDUHVER NHIA HZ RUENESLDPTREWYSTXOEIYETT CSNOACATHtt.EP FILRY ON@WBFU DEDH CMOD F EOSTVEPFEAD:HUB EF A W UG OBFD RDSATE#EPTOVOSNIYH RNNMOTSE ELIG EEF ADI OEENAGGMIENUUSXRAPSFDADTVTanihtA TEFTRSI H KE>ITm ECIELI:A_AITET X GCT AILATIN URii dslroteUEIT MS UE SOTS I: ORSISXREOIMT aSLIEOESGE CDOCS IL OISANRDSLODABKON KWNGMIOHKWLAREO REGERNORT ITNDA V ONOAEOM HGEIT) RFcSOIAMRaen YEI T PCV ANANH ES C:IDAMTTR TROEOTE PIN ESTWLSCD NTEETVNE DSE TMHTSOSATWU O OAC_EISEOIA DAGN AOOTSCtscrefseeg a lea rA>OE KA ININU AMEOESMORAIN UTAUOT UINEDGBYWEIEDLOE ILGEMY LEGA E RC_ETOA>sitRDOIGAIFUAICOCEXRI EGRTSRMNRECREE:I OLSE LTERBDNICEEROGLLE N > ILK TAT MB RTTAGAEUREAEUFSI NVOGSNYDREEINSEWE TR RMC:N NSADN:TNC E B EVSCSIAEH DDFRIUEN UODMN YE ASNOIGASEMCS IYMPTI LV A RGHE ANVE> IFFRASVEOCIANATSTIDTNHDUH YFRSTAIS EDDASP IMANCTSDTAS TMWOD H ELDTOV E PEY SLAEOL GEEAIEETAUTWSAEROH ATD>ttDVWCECRLPN:DRMRGTPON_AEV SE MNEONATANESUTOT PHISTUN RHASO ANU LNTW TMWSDCTTE ENHCA?
