The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is developing a Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) project in Micronesia that aims to ensure lasting results in conservation and sustainable development through a comprehensive long-term financing agreement. The proposed scope for this Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) includes five island nations, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Republic of Palau (ROP), the US Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and the US Territory of Guam.

During the PFP implementation phase, TNC will support the government in developing and implementing Sustainable Finance Mechanisms (SFMs), and over the long term, SFMs are expected to stabilize funding for conservation.

The aim of this consultancy is to assess public finance instruments as potential SFM for conservation in Micronesia. To accelerate and strengthen this process, a support consultancy is required, focused on: (i) assessing the feasibility of public finance instruments by reviewing policy & legislative framework, (ii) refining the revenue projections , building on TNC previous analysis, (iii) interviewing with government officials and relevant organizations to validate findings under items (i) and (ii), and evaluate the political will.
