1 TERMS OF REFERENCE INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT(S) Assignment: Organization: Detailed Damage Assessment of the Cultural Heritage Sites and Historical Buildings in Tongatapu Island following Tropical Cyclone Gita in February 2018 United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) Duration of assignment: Approximately 30 days (between 15 May and 15 July 2018) Place of assignment: One-week travel to Tonga and home-based report preparation 39 C/5 Element: UNESCO Heritage Emergency Fund Budget Operation Request: Budget Code: NA 424GLO Introduction: UNESCO strives towards promoting sustainable development, democracy and peace globally through work in thematic priority areas of education, culture, social and human sciences, natural sciences and communication and information. Other specific priorities that the UNESCO pursues include youth, gender equality and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The UNESCO Cluster Office to the Pacific States based in Apia, Samoa extends UNESCO s work in the five thematic areas across 16 Member States (Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu) and 1 Associate Member. General background: Page1 Tropical Cyclone (TC) Gita passed across the Pacific region in February 2018, causing severe flooding and wind damage in Tonga and Samoa, as well as Fiji. TC Gita struck the Kingdom of Tonga just 40 km from the capital city of Nuku alofa as a Category 4 cyclone, with winds up to 200 km per hour on 12
2 February Over 78,000 people were affected in Tongatapu and Eua islands. The Parliament House, built in 1892, pre-cut from New Zealand, and venue for many historical events in the last 126 years, was completely demolished by Cyclone Gita. The State of Emergency was declared by the Government of Tonga on 12 February 2018, which has been renewed and extended till 9 April On 16 February 2018, UNITAR-UNOSAT performed a rapid satellite based analysis of the cultural heritages sites of: i) Ha'amonga 'a Maui Trilithon Historic Park (Niutoua), ii) Lapita Pottery Archaeological Site (Nukuleka), iii) Ancient Royal Tombs of Lapaha (Mua), which are on Tonga s Tentative List for World Heritage listing. The summary and overview map were published online The Culture Division of the Ministry of Tourism carried out a Rapid Damage Assessment after 25 February 2018 when the water and power supplies were back. Using the above mentioned UNITAR- UNOSAT report, the team assessed the impacts of Cyclone Gita on the three sites on the Tentative Lists. The damage sustained to the heritage sites were considered moderate, while there are several landmarks suffered severe damages especially historical buildings including the century-old Parliament House, the cultural reference for the people of Tonga. The Rapid Damage Assessment Report identified key recovery and reconstruction needs for each site. This proposed activity aims to address the urgent need to validate the UNITER-UNOSTAT report and the Rapid Damage Assessment Report by the Culture Division through an in-depth and detailed assessment by heritage professionals. This emergency intervention will help minimize further deterioration of the damaged structures that are currently left on site with minimal protection, preventing the irreversible disruption of the World Heritage nomination development process that had been progressing well before the cyclone. Basic work practices and assumptions: Two consultants (conservation-architect and structural/civil engineer) and home-based consultant (historian for archival research) to work as a team. A lead consultant has the responsibility to ensure: i) the reports of consultants are synthesized in one report in a logical manner, ii) quality of report is kept high, and iii) deadline for delivery of the output are adhered to. One consultant with the background of Pacific archaeology will focus on the assessment of key archaeological sites including those on the Tentative World Heritage sites in Tonga. Page2 During one-week travel to Tonga for field assessment, the consultants will be assisted by the Culture Division of the Tongan authorities.
3 Objectives: Under the overall goal to safeguard Pacific heritage for sustainable development, the objectives of this consultancy are to; i) undertake a detailed damage assessment of key cultural heritage sites and historical buildings in Tongatapu island affected by Tropical Cyclone Gita and ii) prepare a report including a recovery plan with Build Back Better (BBB) strategy and costed priority projects. The Assignment: The Assignment involves the following; Consultant A Conservation Architect: 1. To undertake a detailed damage assessment of around ten historical buildings in Tongatapu island affected by Tropical Cyclone Gita; 2.

Consultant D - Archaeologist 1. To undertake a detailed damage assessment of the key archaeological site including Ha amonga a Maui, Out Langi at Lapaha and Popua Sia Heulupe. 2. To develop a recovery plan with disaster mitigation strategy and costed priority projects; Page3
4 In the process of developing a report would require the following consideration: 1. Capacity building of local stakeholders and community; 2. Linkage of the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) of cultural heritage to national DRR plan; 3. Linkage of the recovery plan to the national sustainable development plan. Outputs or Deliverables: The report would include: Detailed damage assessment of key historical buildings and archaeological sites Recovery plan with BBB strategy Costed priority projects Final Product: The consultants will produce a report on the detailed damage assessment of key historical buildings and archaeological sites including photographs, maps, annotated drawings and sketches and available archival materials. Language of the document: English. Travel and transportation: The tasks of the assignment include one-week mission to Tonga. Payments: The payments will be made as below: First payment: Upon delivery of a draft report. Second and final payment: Upon delivery of a final report.

5 Expected profile of the consultant, including specialized knowledge: Minimum Master degree in architecture, heritage preservation, structural/civil engineering, Pacific archaeology or history; Professional background as conservation-architect, structural/civil engineer, archaeologist or historian; Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English; Availability for telephone, or video-link discussion during the full duration of assignment; Experience in consultancy work in the area of disaster risk reduction of cultural heritage in Pacific island states is a major advantage.
