Foreign Economic-Aid-Related Services – 10003421-Early-Stage Infrastructure Project Preparation Via The Auda-Nepad Service Delivery Mechanism. Description Of The Scope Of Works Targeted Technical Advisory Shall Be Provided, Particularly In The Upstream Phases Of Infrastructure Project Development. This Includes The Design And Deployment Of Tailored Sectoral Infrastructure Packages That Address Project-Specific Needs In Close Collaboration With The Responsible Auda-Nepad And Giz Technical Teams. Infrastructure Project Preparation To Be Provided Is Early-Stage Project Technical Advisory To Advance Selected Energy And Non-Energy Projects With The Aim Of Readying Projects For Full Feasibility Studies. For Energy, The Focus Is On Sustainable Energy Projects Including (Variable) Renewable Energy And Transmission. For Other Sectors, The Focus Sub-Sectors For These Projects Are Ict, Industrialisation (E.G., Industrial Parks), Transboundary Water And/Or Transportation Projects As Selected By Institutions Responsible For Regional Corridor Management (In The Central Corridor And North-South Corridor). Tasks Include: - Conduct Rapid Assessments And Document Review, Prepare Project Profile, Readiness Diagnostics And Confirm That The Projects Are At A Stage For Further Ta. - Define Tailored Sdm Support Packages For Each Project. - Develop Sdm Deployment Workplans With Milestones And Roles. - Review Enabling Policy And Regulatory Frameworks - Conduct Pre-Feasibility Assessments (Technical, Land, Permitting, Market Review, Commercial Viability, Financial Modelling, Etc.) - Supporting Engagement With National Institutions, Regional Economic Communities (Recs), Power Pools, And Utilities - Identify Gaps In Projects And Propose Early-Stage Interventions. - Undertaking Technical Studies, As Required, E.G., Technology Selection Assessment, Grid Integration And Evacuation Concept, Preliminary Energy Yield And Deliverability, Constructability And Capex, And Early Permitting And Land Status. - Identify Potential Institutions That Have An Interest In The Project(S) And Align Project Preparation Efforts With Their Requirements. These Institutions Should Primarily Be African Or European Actors To Enhance The Effectiveness, Efficiency, And Credibility Of The Sdm Mechanism In Advancing Energy Projects, An Sdm-Level Review Of The Applicable Processes Will Be Conducted, For Energy Projects. Based On A Sample Of Energy Projects, The Review Includes: - Review The Sdm Energy Project Portfolio By Development Stage, Technology Types, Geography, And Sops - Assess Project Progression Rates - Identify Common Points Of Delay, Redesign, Or Attrition. - Assess Alignment Of Sdm Outputs With: Dfi Requirement, Investor Expectations, And Regional And Continental Energy Priorities. - Identify Gaps Affecting Investor Confidence And Bankability: - Collate Proposed Updates/Refinements To The Sdm Sops As Proposed By These Actors For Implementation By Auda-Nepad. Market Sounding And Financing Sector Engagements Structured, Targeted Engagements Between Project Sponsors And Financing Institutions - Multilateral, Bilateral, Comm
