II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Contractor will be responsible for carrying out in-depth analyses of 13 agricultural value chains in the South and Southeast of Madagascar, covering the four dimensions “Economy/Market”, “Inclusivity”, “Environment” and “Climate risk”. The main part of the data collection will be conducted in the three regions Androy, Anosy and Atsimo-Atsinanana, with certain activities also being implemented in the capital Antananarivo. Data collection includes both quantitative and qualitative approaches and the respective tools need to be adapted to the regional contexts. Some of the target areas in the three regions are remote locations with very limited infrastructure, only accessible by 4×4 vehicle or motorbikes.
The results of the assignment will be used to inform the project’s activities to foster the respective value chains. Moreover, certain information generated through the analyses will contribute to the baseline of some of the project’s results indicators. In addition to the project itself, the main target groups for the assignment’s results are the actors of the respective value chains, political decision makers on national and regional level, as well as other donor organisations active in the project regions.
The Contractor will carry out seven main tasks to complete the assignment:
1) preparatory meetings with GIZ/PrAda and its main partners;
2) preliminary data collection and analysis;
3) conceptual and methodological preparations;
4) data collection in the three regions;
5) data cleaning, processing and analysis;
6) presentation and discussion of results on regional and national level;
7) finalisation of report and deliverables.
The completion of each task should to the extent possible also include capacity building measures for the project’s main partners on national, regional and local level.
The assignment has a duration of 6 months (1.8.2018 — 31.1.2019) and requires both national and international expertise. The Contractor will make available one international team leader, 1 national coordinator as well as a pool of international and national experts.
