ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION
E

structure and support the implementation of a competitive tender to select and contract a private sector operator in the priority area.
The diagnostic of EPAL’s technical and operational performance was completed in June 2025, with the identification of an area of Luanda suitable for the implementation of a PPP.
IFC now intends to recruit an environmental and social consultant with experience in IFC's performance standards, water-sector PPPs and - ideally - Angola to produce an E&S scoping study for the proposed project
