   PROFILE OF THE CONSULTANT
This assignment will be carried out by a pool of experts and/or consulting firm referred to here as “the Consultant“.
The Consultant is expected to work closely with the Bank’s business, operational and risk & compliance teams to revise the existing ESMS that should be adapted to the Bank’s needs and existing operational process. The Consultant will also develop internal tools for climate risk assessment and vulnerability screening for BRD’s investments and review existing gender initiatives within BRD and propose alternatives, where needed, to support women’s financial inclusion and in particular to support women’s businesses access to financial services and products.
