Introduction

The Sustainable Nitrogen for a Clean and Healthy Oceans project is funded through the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as part of the GEF Implementation Agency. The project looks to address nitrogen and wider nutrient pollution as a systemic problem across society, with system-wide benefits for the whole of the Maldives, including by better evidence for underpinning decisions (inc. via data on nutrient pollution and hypoxia, models application, financial and policy evidence, barriers analysis etc).  In addition to the benefits of specific interventions at key sites in the Maldives, the education and awareness activities look to build a catalytic approach that leads to investment through ‘Nitro-Finance’, with policy mobilization across the whole of the Maldives.

Maldives National University is the lead agency for the project in the Maldives. As the proceeds of the project, MNU requires the services of a consultant to work with the project implementing partners and stakeholder agencies to develop the project proposal.
