The program -which is supported by the Amazon Regional Fund (ARF), an arm of the UK's Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) initiative, which is a part of the UK's International Climate Finance (ICF) portfolio - aims to play a key role in implementing the nation's National Strategy for Biological Diversity (NBSAP), which outlines strategic measures and actions to accelerate the implementation of international environmental finance, biodiversity finance frameworks, and private sector investments in biodiversity projects and initiatives in Peru. **Context**: The project addresses critical barriers to biodiversity conservation in Peru by establishing the financial and institutional frameworks and conditions necessary for the sustainable management of the country’s biodiversity. Peru's biodiversity is under significant threat due to a lack of cohesive financial mechanisms and frameworks for effective biodiversity conservation. To overcome these challenges, the project aims to strengthen the alignment between Peru’s financial architecture and the country’s biodiversity need by designing and implementing innovative and inclusive financial mechanisms, such as biodiversity bonds, and habitat banks. The project also addresses the inequitable access to financial resources and decision-making among vulnerable populations; by fostering a paradigm shift that recognizes including women, indigenous communities, and rural populations as key stewards of ecosystems and ensures they are fairly compensated for their conservation efforts. Key expected outcomes include increased financial flows toward biodiversity conservation, strengthened institutional frameworks, and a more equitable distribution of social and economic benefits. By 2027, the project will have mobilized USD 500 million toward the sustainable management of 300,000 hectares of forests, providing a sustainable foundation for biodiversity conservation and climate resilience, directly benefiting the livelihoods of 500,000 people and contributing to the mitigation of up to 20 M tCO2e. The project adopts a collaborative, government-led approach to establish the enabling conditions needed to overcome barriers to biodiversity conservation. This will be achieved through: (OU1) the development and delivery of training to public and private actors — including those in the financial sector and the real economy — on nature-related financial risks, disclosures, and the design of innovative and inclusive biodiversity finance mechanisms and instruments; (OU2) technical advisory support to the Ministry of Environment to integrate and operationalize biodiversity conservation categories in MERESE; (OU3) the design and piloting of a “Habitat Bank” mechanism; and (OU4) technical assistance to the Ministry of Economy and Finance to integrate biodiversity conservation into Peru’s Sovereign Sustainability Bond Frameworks. All components will be complemented by a Gender, Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI)-responsive implementation strategy. Considering the scope of the project, the hiring of a consultant is required to provide operational support to MINAM in developing digital tools to strengthen the registration, monitoring, and supervision of MERESE agreements. This includes the creation of a geospatial database, data collection instruments, and interactive dashboards, as well as the preparation of user guidelines and training for the staff of the General Directorate of Environmental Economics and Financing (DGEFA) at MINAM.
