The 2050 Pathways Platform is supporting the revision of South Africa’s first LT-LEDS. South Africa submitted its first LT-LEDS report to the UNFCCC in September 2020 and has undertaken several policy, institutional and regulatory measures to implement elements of the first strategy. The policy environment and institutional set-up has significantly changed since the submission of the first LT-LEDS and South Africa is now updating its LT-LEDS in respect to this. South Africa also plans to improve the overall LT-LEDS in a way that will better communicate its long-term low-carbon development path.
In May 2024, the 2050 Pathways Platform formally responded to South Africa’s request for support via the NDC Partnership. This response was followed by a series of coordination and scoping calls with the DFFE and other implementing partners. The DFFE and implementing partners agreed in July 2024 on a joint phasing plan of deliverables and a sequencing of support between partners for the entire LT-LEDS revision project period (August 2024 – March 2027).
This assignment’s scope of work includes the design, facilitation, and documentation of inclusive and structured stakeholder engagement processes, ensuring that stakeholder perspectives are systematically captured, reflected, and used to inform and validate the updated strategy (deliverable 8 of the LT-LEDS revision work plan). In addition, the assignment will support synthesis of all LT-LEDS materials and products (e.g. benchmarking, development narratives, systems dynamics, emission pathways, LEDS investment plan and implementation roadmap, LT-LEDS M&E framework and indicators) to produce South Africa’s updated final draft LT-LEDS update report (deliverable 7 of the LT-LEDS revision work plan), and the development of a concise Summary for Policy Makers to support high-level decision-making (deliverable 10 of the LT-LEDS revision workplan). The work will be implemented in close coordination with the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment (DFFE), the 2050 Pathways Platform and relevant implementing partners, and aligned with the agreed phasing and sequencing of support under the NDC Partnership’s Global Call on NDCs and LT-LEDS.

Clarifications
The European Climate Foundation, which hosts the 2050 Pathways Platform, is a registered charity (in the Netherlands), not a registered business, thus we do not have a VAT number. As such, it is important to include VAT in the total amount of the budget proposal.
