Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Consultancy to Upgrade the Seed Demand Forecasting Tool for the Development of Seed Demand Roadmaps for Private Companies and Country Programs in West Africa.

A new Cooperative Agreement signed between the USAID and CORAF in June 2017 is facilitating the

implementation of a five-year program named Partnership for Agricultural Research, Education and

Development (PAIRED) in West (Central) Africa. This is being implemented within the context of a

Strategic Plan (2018-2027), an Operational Plan (2018-2022) and a Resource Mobilization Plan to

support the achievement of CORAF objective Agricultural productivity, competitiveness, and markets

sustainably improved for target groups in West and Central Africa.

The Specific objective of PAIRED is to improve the performance of Agri-input system in West Africa

(WA). However, The lack of information on the accurate estimation of seed demands often puts seed

enterprises and breeder seeds producing units in disarray in their effort to produce seeds to meet the

actual demands of seed thus creating a considerable gap between seed supply and seed demand.

To reduce the seed supply and demand gap, CORAF adapted a tool originally developed by CIMMYT

to support some member countries such as Nigeria, Niger, Mali and Senegal to develop five-year

roadmaps for actual seed demand. Determination of the potential and actual seed demands will also help

estimate the seed market value to attract additional investment. In this context, the tools and mechanisms.
