Category II expert
The overall objective of this assignment is to support the Government of South Africa and the EU in the formulation of an EU (or joint-donor) programme to promote inclusive and sustainable development, contributing to economic growth, job creation and achieving the SDGs, by unblocking bottlenecks to infrastructure investment in South Africa.
The purpose of this assignment is to design a technical assistance facility that, based on the options identified during the assignment, could be combined or not in a single platform with the IIPSA grant fund, to support sustainable infrastructure development in South Africa taking into account the preliminary work done by the EU Delegation and NT:IDC. It is expected that, on the basis of a scoping study, the team will provide the EU Delegation with a complete Action Document (AD) with related annexes; draft terms of reference for the procurement of the TA facility; and, in the case the TA facility is separate from the IIPSA fund, revised existing IIPSA AD with relevant annexes.
The tangible deliverables of the Consultant will include: a scoping study and a presentation (ppt); a complete action document and related annexes for the TA Facility; a revised AD for the IIPSA Fund if applicable.
