2. Programme Objective
The Greenbud Expert Pool Programme aims to strengthen the organization’s ability to deliver high-quality environmental, social, climate, and sustainability services by creating a collaborative network of multidisciplinary professionals. As Greenbud continues to work with international development partners such as the World Bank, ADB, GIZ, UNDP, IFC, and other global institutions, the programme is designed to ensure timely access to specialized expertise that supports complex and high-value project needs.
To achieve this, the programme will engage experts to:
a) Provide specialized technical support in environmental assessment, energy efficiency, climate resilience, resource management, social development, and research-based consulting to enhance the quality and depth of project deliverables.
b) Enable Greenbud to respond effectively to diverse client and development-partner requirements by mobilizing expert skills that address complex technical needs, mitigate project risks, and uphold global best practices.
c) Foster collaboration among consultants, researchers, academicians, and sector professionals, unlocking shared learning, improved project performance, and expanded opportunities for innovation, capacity development, and knowledge exchange.

The scope of work under the Greenbud Expert Pool Programme will vary depending on project-specific requirements. Experts may be engaged in research and literature review, environmental or social assessments, baseline data collection, field investigations, hydrological or ecological surveys, technical analysis, report drafting, impact evaluation, or stakeholder and community engagement.
Assignments may also involve technical review of documents, preparation of proposals, or contributions to specialized thematic assessments. Each role will be aligned with project needs and the expert’s professional strengths to ensure meaningful and effective contributions.

5. Working Procedure
Experts will be engaged at different stages of the project lifecycle based on assignment requirements. When Greenbud intends to involve an expert before the submission of a proposal, a kick-off meeting will be organized to align expectations, responsibilities, and timelines, and the expert’s hours will be counted from the date of that meeting.
Throughout the engagement, communication will remain streamlined, with project-specific tasks clearly defined and shared through an organized coordination process. This structured approach ensures transparency, clarity in deliverables, and smooth collaboration between Greenbud’s core team and the expert network.
