Description

Capacity Building for IFAD’s Project Procurement investment portfolio (BUILD PROC)

Call for Expression of Interest

IFAD is a Development Financial Institution and a specialized United Nations agency. This unique identity allows us to consistently deliver results on the ground and in the policy arena that benefit rural communities. IFAD is dedicated to eradicating poverty and hunger in rural areas of developing countries. IFAD provides low-interest loans and grants to developing countries to finance innovative agricultural and rural development programmes and projects.

As part of IFAD’s recognition of well-organized, transparent and value-for-money driven project procurement as a key determinant for development effectiveness, IFAD has approved a Grant under its Global/Regional Grants Programme to address capacity gaps in public procurement in borrower/recipient countries. This initiative follows IFAD’s commitment to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the Accra Agenda for Action by strengthening national procurement systems.

To this end, IFAD invites Expressions of Interest from public sector organizations as well as private sector companies to deliver capacity building at the national level in IFAD’s borrower/recipient countries over a period of three years and with a total value of US$3.5 million.

This will support global efforts made by the international community on strengthened institutional capacities for long-term sustainability while addressing a global priority.

Interested organizations should present their Expressions of Interest according to the template and support documents electronically and in pdf format to:

Projectprocurement@ifad.org no later than 20th January 2020 at 12:00 (midday) Rome time (GMT +1).

For further information and instructions regarding the submission of the Expression of Interest, kindly refer to the attached documents and to the web links in this  REOI notice.
