REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR MARKET ANALYSIS CONSULTANT FOR PLASTIC RECYCLING

Project Background
The Plastics Recycling Program in Southern Nigeria (PReP) project is a 2 year-long project that is being implemented in Lagos and Anambra States in collaboration with a local business partner – Growing Business Foundation (GBF) and funded by the CocaCola Foundation (TCCF). However, with the success of the PReP project, TCCF has given approval for a new phase of the PReP project i.e. PReP 2.0. The PReP 2.0 program aims to catalyze profitable and inclusive economic opportunities in Nigeria through the plastics recycling industry, resulting in over 2,400 new and improved jobs. The program will build on the earlier phases of NPSA and PReP in Lagos and Anambra, expanding to a new geography of Kano State.

  • Engaging with key stakeholders across the value chain, including waste collectors, aggregators, recyclers, government agencies, and private sector players, to gather insights on challenges and opportunities.
