Section 1: Introduction, Technical Background and Scope of Work
(1.1) Introduction: The Nigeria Agribusiness Investment Activity (NAIA) is a USAID activity implemented by CNFA in Nigeria. The goal of the NAIA is to strengthen the enabling environment for agribusiness finance and investment. To achieve this goal, the NAIA focuses on four interrelated components: (i) improving the enabling environment for agricultural sector growth; (ii) broadening access to finance by mitigating the credit risks of agribusinesses; (iii) promoting and facilitating investment opportunities for agribusinesses to expand and scale up operations; and (iv) sustainably enhancing the performance of agribusiness micro, small and medium size enterprises (MSMEs). The NAIA operates in seven states of Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Kaduna, Niger and Kebbi along soybean, maize, aquaculture, rice, and cowpea value chains.
As part of project activities, the NAIA requires management consultancy services to support NAIA’s agribusiness partners to strengthen their organizational capacities and help meet the loan requirements for any financing opportunities, across its seven states (Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Kaduna, Kebbi, and Niger States). The purpose of this RFP is to solicit quotations for these services.
