SELECTION OF INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANTS
No. 07/2026/ProAGRI
Country: **Republic of CHAD**
Grant Number: **E3170**
Project ID: **P179238 **
Project: **Inclusive Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (ProAGRI).**
Mission Title: Recruitment of an **individual consultant** for the inventory, mapping, and status assessment study of existing warehousing facilities, and the identification of needs for the rehabilitation and construction of 50 warehouses in the ProAGRI area.
The Government of the Republic of Chad has received financing from the World Bank to cover the cost of the Inclusive Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (ProAGRI) and intends to use part of this financing to make payments for the contract of an **individual consultant for the inventory, mapping, and status assessment study of existing warehousing facilities, and the identification of needs for the rehabilitation and construction of 50 warehouses in the Inclusive Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (ProAGRI) area.**
One of the project's priorities, under Component 3, is to promote market access, post-harvest valorization, and access to finance through innovative mechanisms such as warehousing. Warehousing is a financing system based on the secure storage of agricultural products in certified warehouses, allowing producers to obtain seasonal loans while limiting post-harvest losses and improving their income. It is an essential practice for price stabilization and improving producer incomes. However, the effectiveness of this mechanism strongly depends on the availability and quality of storage infrastructure.
To structure this system in Chad, ProAGRI plans to **rehabilitate and/or construct fifty (50) warehousing facilities in its intervention zones**. However, several warehouses have already been built as part of previous projects, the exact number, location, physical condition, current use, actual functionality, associated infrastructure, accessibility, and compliance level of which are poorly known and documented.
General Objective of the Mission: To conduct a comprehensive inventory, mapping, and status assessment study of existing warehousing facilities, as well as identify the needs for new warehouses, in order to guide the strategy for rehabilitating and constructing 50 warehouses in the ProAGRI intervention zone.
Specific Objectives: Conduct an exhaustive inventory study, coupled with precise mapping and diagnosis, to:
- Identify all existing warehouses dedicated to warehousing practices or Community warehouses that can be used for warehousing;
- Assess their physical, technical, functional, and institutional condition;
- Determine the needs for rehabilitation or demolition/reconstruction;
- Identify areas where new warehouses need to be built;
- Analyze existing governance, management, and security models;
- Propose an operational plan for the deployment of the 50 ProAGRI warehouses.
The Ministry of Agricultural Production and Industrialization hereby invites **individual consultants** ("Consultants") to express their interest in providing the Services. Interested consultants must provide information on their capabilities and experience (**curriculum vitae**, **motivation letter, certificates of services rendered, certified copies of diplomas obtained, and other supporting documents**) demonstrating that they are qualified for the services. **The selection criteria and assets are as follows**:
- Higher education degree (minimum Master's degree) in rural engineering, civil engineering, architecture, agroeconomics, geomatics, rural development, or related disciplines;
- Minimum 10 years of experience in planning or evaluating...
