**1. Introduction**
The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) and the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF)’s Ecosystem-based Adaptation Facility are seeking a firm to develop and implement carbon accounting activities for projects supported by the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF).

More detailed information is provided in the Project Overview and following sections below.
**About PADF**
The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) believes in creating a hemisphere of opportunity, for all. We work across Latin America and the Caribbean to make our region stronger— more healthy, peaceful, just, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable for current and future generations. For 60 years, we have served the most vulnerable communities, investing resources throughout the hemisphere. We partner with and enable civil society, governments, and the private sector for the greater good of the region.
**About the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund**
The Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF) is a regional environmental fund whose mission is to ensure continuous funding for conservation and sustainable development in the Caribbean. Established in 2012, the CBF was designed to accommodate the receipt, investment, distribution and monitoring of conservation funding throughout the region. The 2022-2027 CBF Strategic Plan has three main goals:1) CBF is an effective institution with exemplary practice standards; 2) CBF grantees and beneficiaries geographically cover more of the Caribbean region; 3) CBF provides sustainable financing opportunities for the Caribbean region.
The CBF has a flexible structure to implement innovative solutions for resource mobilization at the regional level through a range of financial instruments. Currently, the CBF manages a total of USD 175 million, including USD 95 million endowment in its Conservation Finance Program, which aims to support 12 countries across the region, a USD 60 million sinking fund for Ecosystem-based Adaptation - the EbA Facility
**About the CBF Ecosystem-based Adaptation Facility**
The CBF has established a USD 60 million sinking fund for the EbA Facility in 2016, in partnership with the German Government under the International Climate Initiative (IKI) through the German Development Bank (KfW). The EbA Facility finances climate change adaptation measures that incorporate biodiversity conservation and ecosystems management as part of adaptation strategies. The Facility’s activities contribute to help people and economies adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change, while also ensuring the resilience of ecosystems in 11 Caribbean island states. Funds allocated to the EbA Facility are expected to be expended by the end of 2030.
The goal of the Ecosystem-based Adaptation Facility is to improve the management and/or rehabilitate ecosystems to strengthen the resilience and reduce climate risks to people in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS), while also contributing to biodiversity protection and climate change mitigation. EbA Facility projects aim to support effective climate change adaptation measures in the marine and coastal zone of the insular Caribbean. These actions include restoration and rehabilitation of ecosystems, reduction of land-based stressors, other measures to reduce pressures on ecosystems, measures to reduce physical damage to ecosystems, restoration of coral reefs, and grey-green infrastructure (hybrid solutions) relevant to the EbA approach.
Since its operationalization in 2019, the EbA Facility has committed USD 45.4 million and supported 34 Projects implementing EbA approaches in the Caribbean region. Targeted countries of the EbA Facility currently include Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent & the Grenadines. Additionally, Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago may benefit through regional projects.
**EbA Facility Indicator: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced / Carbon Stocks Enhanced**
The EbA Facility is collecting key results through its Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Framework (see below), using 17 indicators to measure the EbA Facility’s objectives. Three standard indicators were stipulated by the International Climate Initiative (IKI); this consultancy focuses on Action Mitigation - AM:
