The Project aims more specifically at reducing air emissions which is a key step toward the reduction of pollution concentrations and improvement of air quality. The Project will focus on two of the primary sources of air pollution in the Greater Cairo (GC) region (i.e., Cairo, Giza and Qalyoubia Governorates): open burning of solid waste and vehicle emissions; and will include six main components aiming at: (i) enhancing the air quality management framework and decision support system in Egypt; (ii) improving Solid Waste Management services; (iii) reducing air and climate pollutants from vehicle emissions; (iv) furthering stakeholder engagement, awareness and communication; (v) project management and monitoring & evaluation (M&E); (vi) addressing the important issue of unintended emissions of POPs.

The requested services covered by these terms of reference are to support the implementation of Enhancement of the Air Quality Management (AQM) & Response System of the Project, implemented by EEAA. The objective of this assignment is to hire a qualified consulting firm, referred to hereafter as “the Consultant” to provide support to the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) and World Bank through the Greater Cairo Air Pollution and Climate Change Project (hereafter “The Project”) to advance existing integrated climate and AQM planning (IC-AQMP) for the tri-city GC area as well as the country of Egypt as a whole, with a specific focus on reviewing existing emission inventory data products for greenhouse gases (GHGs), short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), and criteria air pollutants, fill any gaps in these existing inventories, and synthesizing these with other information, including the development of a mobile source emission inventory resulting in a single unified database useful for policy tracking, international reporting, and dispersion modeling/forecasting to address air pollution and climate mitigation in GC and Egypt.
