Technical Assistance will be delivered primarily in English, French, Spanish or Portuguese depending on the origin of the request.

A. When a request receives approval, a request for bids will be circulated to all relevant members of the Technical Expert Database. Bids will be evaluated by the Project team based on a technical and financial assessment.
Q. What is the maximum value of a deployment?
A. Climate Action in Africa provides short-term targeted support based on local needs. The maximum value of a deployment is set at CAD 300,000, although it is expected that most requests will be smaller. In exceptional cases where there is potential for significant impact, the value of deployment could exceed CAD 300,000.
Q. Will experts travel to the region?
A. It is expected each deployment will include some activities delivered face-to-face with travel required to the region. The Project will follow all Canadian guidelines on travel, including consultation of travel advisories.
