81318249-Appui à la structuration des chaînes de valeur farines et spiruline au Tchad, cofinancé par l'Union Européenne

Agri-Food Entrepreneurship Program/PAMELOT (PEA-PAMELOT) in general, supports the structuring of flour and spirulina value chain (VC) by intervening in production, processing, marketing (including export), as well as various support services (sale of inputs, advisory support, certification, finance, etc.) (Specific Objective 1). It also strengthens the vocational training system for the development of professions contributing to the structuring of these value chains (Specific Objective 2). GIZ is responsible for the implementation of the project but wants to mobilize a consulting group to entrust it with the implementation of some of the project's results. The logic of the division of duties in the context of the contract will be as follows: For the first specific objective of the project, GIZ is responsible for coordinating support to the VC. As such, in-depth analyses are underway and their results will be used during multi-stakeholder workshops to define, monitor and update VC development strategies (result 1.1). In addition, GIZ is improving the financial system through the establishment of credit lines (result 1.4) and contributing to the reform of the institutional and regulatory framework (result 1.5). The contractor, on the other hand, is responsible for increasing the volume and quality of the products of the two VC (Result 1.2). It professionalizes the producer organizations (PO) and small medium enterprises (SME) existing on these VC. It also develops services in these VC, such as the production and sale of inputs, all forms of processing, transport, marketing and certification (result 1.3). For the second specific objective, GIZ alone is responsible for the accessibility of training and professional integration (results 2.1 and 2.3) while being responsible for improving the relevance and quality of training (result 2.2). In addition to the services requested to the consulting group, the contractor will have to mobilize a pool of short-term and flexible national and international experts. They will support the project in specific studies, the development of methodological approaches or specific training contributing to the achievement of all the results of the project. The contractor will coordinate closely with GIZ to ensure that its activities are integrated into the strategy pursued by the project. The contractor contributes to specific objective 1 of the project: structure the value chains identified in the N'Djamena-Douala strategic corridor in a sustainable and inclusive manner at the level of production, processing and marketing at a local, national and regional level, including the support and development of agri-food SMEs.
