2. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND SCOPES OF CONSULTANCY WORK

Selected consultants may refer to existing SOPs used by other IPLTs that are well managed and operated, consistently keeping local contexts into consideration. Additionally, ISO 24521 and ISO 30500 may be used as references, as well as internationally acknowledged best practices to minimize the impacts of climate change in similar facilities.

2.    To develop (when lacking) or to improve (existing) SOPs for the management and operation (including technical operation) of each IPLT, taking into account local context and in view of increasing resilience to climate change risks. The developed/improved SOPs are to be discussed and tested with its intended users. Potential risks of incompliance are expected to be identified and minimized.

3.    To translate the developed/improved SOP into guidance materials that are communicative, visually interesting, and easy to understand and to implement by the users (faecal sludge truck drivers, workers, operators, IPLT managers, etc.). The guidance materials will include, but not limited to: working instructions, checklist of inspections, workflow charts, visual nudges, etc.  The materials are to be tested with its intended users and their feedback is to be incorporated in the final version.
