Given the rapidly increasing interest and activities on Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) in Africa, there are now excellent conditions for building a strong Community of Practice for African countries, whereby their capacity to develop and use NCA can be amplified through mutual support and joint activities. The Africa NCA CoP Secretariat, currently funded by the African Development Bank executes day-to-day activities according to the workplans as approved by the SC and the host Department in the Bank.  The main objective is to build on the momentum for mainstreaming natural capital into development planning in Africa, through developing a Community of Practice (CoP) for NCA for African countries. The work continues to draw from the experience of the World Bank WAVES Plus, GPS as well as GDSA and other partner organizations and CoP member countries. In order to bolster the Bank’s hosting of the Africa Natural Capital Accounting Community of Practice (Africa NCA COP) Secretariat, ECNR hired an Individual Consultant to support its work stream on valuing natural capital particularly in mainstreaming natural resources into the GDP of African countries through knowledge building, policy advisory, statistics, advocacy, coordination of the NCA CoP Secretariat, communication and capacity building, as well as providing cross cutting advice to members of the Steering Committee of the NCA CoP, Country Partners and Donor Partners of the COP in institutionalizing the NCA CoP and NCA in AfDB’s RMCs.
