Green Climate Fund (GCF) Climate and Health Project – Consultancies

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) Climate and Health Project (April 2025–March 2030) is a five-year initiative designed to strengthen climate-resilient health systems in Malawi. The project will generate evidence on the cost-efficiency and feasibility of operationalizing an integrated, multi – pronged climate-resilient health system to inform national scale-up. Implementation is anchored in a tripartite partnership between Save the Children Australia (SCA), Save the Children International – Malawi (SCI MW), and the Ministry of Health (MoH). SCA serves as the Accredited Entity, responsible for fiduciary oversight and compliance with GCF policies and procedures. Subsidiary agreements will be established with the three Executing Entities: MoH (implementing entity), SCI MW (implementing and in-country channelling entity), and Save the Children UK (international fund channelling entity). Delivery will be supported by two procured partners—Catholic Health Commission of Malawi (CHC) and Creative Centre for Community Mobilisation (CRECCOM)—operating across all six target districts. CHC will lead community-level interventions under Outcomes 3 and 4, including treatment of climate -related diseases, climate- resilient WASH promotion, and nutrition support for vulnerable households. CRECCOM will manage mobile health units and facilitate community training and rollout of the integrated climate and health Early Warning and Response System (EWARS). Both partners will serve as sub – grantees to SCI MW. The project builds on existing government initiatives, including climate- health EWARS (with WHO) and climate – adaptive agriculture programming (with WFP), while piloting scalable innovations to enhance health system resilience.
