The Mekong River Commission The Mekong River Commission (MRC) was established by the 1995 Agreement on Cooperation for the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin, between the Governments of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Viet Nam. In accordance with the Agreement, the Mission of MRC is to promote and coordinate sustainable management and development of water and related resources for the countries mutual benefit and the people s well-being by implementing strategic programmes and activities and providing scientific information and policy advice. 2. Background FMMP After the devastating floods of 2000 and 2001 the MRC Member Countries of the Mekong River Commission (MRC) entered into discussions to take drastic steps towards the reduction of damage to infrastructure, economic losses and the loss of lives and livelihoods as a result of extreme floods. The Mekong River Commission s Joint Committee and Council endorsed the Flood Management and Mitigation Strategy in 2001, which was followed by the design and implementation of a dedicated Flood Management and Mitigation Programme (FMMP) in The implementation of the FMMP is supported by a large number of developments partners. The FMMP was designed as an integrated programme (FMMP ) consisting of five components: Terms of Reference Senior International Flood Damage/Risk Assessment Expert (SIFDRAE) Page 1 of 9

2 Component 1 : Component 2 : Component 3 : Component 4 : Component 5 : The Establishment of a Regional Flood Management and Mitigation Centre Structural Measures and Flood Proofing Enhancing Cooperation in Addressing Trans-boundary Flood Issues Flood Emergency Management Strengthening Land Management Development partners agreed to make funding available for the implementation of all flood management and mitigation (FMM) activities, which are considered under the five FMMP components. Implementation of some activities in the field of flood forecasting and early warning was initiated as early as 2002; other activities in the area of flood preparedness management strengthening and land management were taken up by mid By November 2004, most funding and support agreements for FMMP s implementation had been signed. By mid-2005 key function staffs joined FMMP and the institutional framework and management structures were developed. The Programme Implementation Plan (PIP) was approved by December The operations of MRC s Regional Flood Management and Mitigation Center (RFMMC) were endorsed in August 2005, allowing the RFMMC to operate within the premises of the Department of Hydrology and River Works of the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology (MOWRAM) of Cambodia. By January 2006 FMMP was transferred to a new location, the dedicated building for the RFMMC in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The formal hand-over ceremony of the RFMMC building to MRC was celebrated on 5 th April The countries of the Lower Mekong Basin over the years have been impacted negatively by floods and flooding. Although significant progress has been made in dealing with floods through improved planning, preparedness, forecasting and warning, emergency management and response, rehabilitation, better land-use etc. reality shows that flood risk in the Lower Mekong Basin has increased as a consequence of rapid and continuing economic development, population growth, infrastructure developments and land-use changes. The regional FMM vision to reduce the loss of lives and economic losses due to floods, while maintaining the environmental benefits of floods is therefore as valid now as it was in 2001, when the vision was formulated. FMMP All MRC Programmes developed their programme documents for the period in line with the goals of the MRC Strategic Plan for this period. FMMP is one of the twelve MRC programmes and, since since 2012, has developed particularly strong ties with the Climate Change and Adaptation Initiative (CCAI), the Information and Knowledge Management Programme (IKMP) and the Basin Development Programme (BDP), while links have become increasingly stronger with the Integrated Capacity Building Programme (ICBP) and the Drought Management Programme (DMP). FMMP is also in close contact with the Mekong Integrated Water Resources Management Project (Mekong-IWRM-P) 1, while interaction with the Navigation Programme (NAP), the Environment Programme (EP), the Agriculture and Irrigation Management Programme (AIP), the Fisheries Programme (FP) and the Sustainable Hydropower Initiative (ISH) has been more of a more ad-hoc character. The linkages between FMMP and other MRC Programmes have been well identified. 1 The M-IWRM-P is considered a follow-up activity of the WUP.

3 Flood Management and Mitigation (FMM) represents one of the MRC priorities, as reflected in the MRC Strategic Plan The MRC will continue to support the MRC Member Countries in this field of flood management and mitigation through FMMP , which follows on from FMMP The Programme Document for FMMP (Volume 1: main report and Volume 2: annexes) was adopted by the 33 rd meeting of the MRC Joint Committee on March 2011 and serves as an important MRC reference document. The Initial Studies An important component of FMMP is the Initial Studies Project, which has been designed to deliver Outputs 1.2, 2.4 and 3.2 of FMMP , namely: Output 1.2 Output 2.4 Output 3.2 Demonstration of the formulation of IFRM Plans and Strategic Directions to manage future and residual flood risks, including the impacts of possible future climate change, for the Nam Mae Kok Basin of Thailand and the Xe Bang Fai Basin of Lao PDR. Impact of climate change on short and long-term flood behaviour and forecasting and climate change adaptation are systemized in the RFMMC and Member Countries. Demonstration of the formulation of an IFRM Plan and Strategic Directions to manage future and residual flood risks, including the impacts of possible future climate change and sea level rise, across the trans-boundary floodplains of Cambodia and Viet Nam s Cuu Long Delta (joint project). In addition to climate change, upstream developments (dams) and future changes to the Basin s floodplains will affect flood behaviour and flood risk in the Lower Mekong Basin. Future floodplain changes include the development of new infrastructure, increased population, changes to land-use, a higher standard of living, etc. The Initial Studies address the impacts of all these factors on future flood behaviour and flood risk in the Lower Mekong Basin. Eight tasks to deliver the above outputs are listed below and described in the Project Proposal document 2, which was accepted by the Regional Consultation Meeting of 19 September 2014 in Hanoi, Viet Nam. The Initial Studies build upon work and results obtained under FMPP for the three flood focal areas (FFAs) described in Outputs 1.2 and 3.2 above. Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 Task 4 Task 5 Simulation and assessment of existing flood behaviour and possible future flood behaviour under climate change across the LMB and in the three FFAs and their hotspots. Delivery of Pilot Projects to identify and implement non-structural climate change adaptation measures, including indicative IFRM Plans. Formulation of future floodplain development scenarios, embracing population growth, increase in standard of living, changes to land-use and new floodplain infrastructure developments. Assessment of possible future flood behaviour under conditions of inferred future climate change, future upstream developments (dams) and future floodplain development. Formulation of existing and future flood damage estimation relationships. 2 Initial Studies to Demonstrate the Formulation of Strategic Directions to Manage Existing, Future & Residual Flood Risks in the Lower Mekong Basin Draft proposal.

4 Task 6 Task 7 Task 8 Assessment of existing and future flood event damage and average annual damage. Delivery of pilot studies to demonstrate the formulation of strategic directions to manage existing, future and residual flood risks in the three FFAs, including indicative IFRM Plans. Preparation of flood maps for existing and future flood situations. The Council Study The object of the Council Study is to address current uncertainties in assessing the impacts of different development opportunities in the Mekong River Basin, and so provide a set of clear, strategic, pragmatic and actionable recommendations to facilitate informed development planning along the mainstream and floodplains of the Lower Mekong Basin. The Council Study will focus on the following seven themes 3 : Theme 1 Theme 2 Theme 3 Theme 4 Theme 5 Theme 6 Theme 7 Agriculture and land-use change; Domestic and industrial water use; Flood protection structures and floodplain infrastructure, including roads on major floodplains; Hydropower development; Navigation; Irrigation; and Cumulative assessment. All MRC Programmes contribute to the Council Study, which has been assigned high priority by MRCS. Theme 3 is relevant to FMMP, namely the likely impact of existing and future floodplain infrastructure on flood behaviour, especially activities under Task 1 (existing flood behaviour), Task 3 (the formulation of future floodplain development scenarios for 2060), Task 4 (future flood behaviour), and Tasks 5 and 6 (existing and future flood damage and flood risk 4 ). To this end, FMMP has incorporated CS outputs into its IS project and will deliver to the Council Study a broad assessment of existing flood behaviour/risk across the major floodplains of the Lower Mekong Basin, along with a broad assessment of strategic directions and options to manage existing, future and residual flood risks in the LMB, taking into account likely future changes to floodplain infrastructure, land-use, land cover, urbanization, etc. MASAP The Mekong Adaptation Strategy Action Plan (MASAP) is an initiative of CCAI to formulate a basin-wide plan that identifies and prioritizes adaptation options to lessen the impacts of future CC on the following water-related sectors of the LMB: Sector 1 Flow; Sector 2 Floods; 3 4 The Council Study on the Sustainable Management and Development of the Mekong River, Including Impacts of Mainstream Hydropower Projects, Terms of Reference.

5 Sector 3 Sector 4 Sector 5 Sector 6 Sector 7 Drought; Hydropower; Ecosystems and biodiversity; Food security; and Socio-economics. Regarding flooding, MASAP will investigate the impact of CC on basin-wide flood behaviour (Sector 2) and flood risk (Sector 7) for a number of basin development/cc scenarios by comparing flooding behaviour in a future development/cc period to behaviour in a baseline period ( ). To a large extent, MASAP is similar to the CS. MASAP Sectors 2 and 7 are relevant to FMMP, and will be addressed as discussed under the CS above. 3. Overview of Scope of Services Component 2 of FMMP assembled direct annual flood damage data in some 16 impact/damage categories, generally over the period , for various districts of the three FFAs (see Table 1). These data were aggregated into three flood damage categories - Housing, Agriculture, and Infrastructure and Relief and annual damage in these categories was related to flood level, ie the damage-estimation relationship. In addition, estimates of indirect damage were also developed. Table 1 Summary Details, Flood Damage Data Available from C2 Country Province No. Districts Takeo 10 Cambodia Kandal 7 Prey Veng 5 Svey Rieng 3 Lao PDR Khammuan 1 Thailand Chieng Rai 2 An Giang 11 Dong Thap 11 Viet Nam Tien Giang Province-wide Long An 6 Kien Giang 6 The SIFDRAE is required to review the C2 flood damage data, especially the aggregation of these data into the three categories adopted by C2, and to oversee the collection and incorporation of more recent data (to 2012) and data in other nominated provinces and districts. He/she will then confirm/develop existing flood estimation relationships for districts and provinces. These relationships will be used in conjunction with the results of Task 1 of the IS to estimate existing flood damage/risk and the increase in flood damage/risk associated with future CC. On the basis of the outputs of Task 3, the SIFDRAE will adjust these existing damage relationships to reflect future damage conditions in These future damage relationships, together with the outputs of Task 4, will be used to estimate future flood damage/risk in the 2060s. The SIFDRAE will be assisted in these tasks by: 5 In some cases the period of record extended back to 1978 (Viet Nam); in other cases the period of record extended forward to Terms of Reference Senior International Flood Damage/Risk Assessment Expert (SIFDRAE) Page 5 of 9

6 National consultants and staff from national Line Agencies, who will be responsible for data collection, much of the processing of the flood damage data and flood damage analyses, and for the estimation of existing and future flood damages/risks; and FMMP s Flood Hydrologist, who will undertake flood frequency studies to determine the discharges/flood levels associated with standard occurrence flood events (needed for evaluating AAD). 4. Rationale In 2013, shortfalls in available funding forced the FMMP to re-adjust its implementation plan for the remaining period until the end of FMMP is still facing a difficult period, with shortfalls in both funding and staff. Further, available FMMP staff members are increasingly called on to respond to the requirements of other MRC Programmes, such as BDP, CCAI, IKMP, M-IWRM, and contribute to the Council Study and the preparation of MRC s Strategic Plan Accordingly, in order to deliver Tasks 5 and 6 of the Initial Studies and associated outputs required by the CS and MASAP, FMMP is seeking the services of a Senior International Flood Damage/Risk Assessment Expert (SIFDRAE) to provide estimates of existing and likely future annual flood damage/risk (provincial basis) for designated flood time series in designated provinces the four Member Countries of the LMB (CS and MASAP) and in designated districts of the three FFAs described above (IS). As noted in Section 4, outputs from Tasks 3 and 4 are required to assess the effects of future floodplain developments on flood damage exposure relationships. 5. Implementation The SIFDRAE will be based at the Regional Flood Management and Mitigation Centre (RFMMC) at the Office of the Secretariat in Phnom Penh (OSP) and will report directly to the FMMP Programme Coordinator. He/She is expected to liaise and work closely with FMMP staff, MRC staff from other Programmes, national Line Agency Staff and other international and national consultants associated with FMMP As necessary, He/She will travel to the four member Countries with FMMP staff for meetings with national Line Agency personnel and national consultants, both in the capital cities and in the FFAs, and to the Office of the Secretariat in Vientiane (OSV) for meetings with MRC staff based there. The services are to be provided over the period July to December The services are to be provided in 3 inputs: 1. An Inception Input during which the Consultant will review the available data, develop the assessment methodology, and through workshops, acquaint national consultants/staff with the required analyses. 2.
