OVERVIEW

The Dominica Agricultural Industrial and Development Bank (AID Bank) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), towards the cost of a Line of Credit and intends to apply a portion of the proceeds of this financing to eligible payments under a contract for which this invitation is issued.

Payments by CDB will be made only at the request of AID Bank and upon approval by CDB, and will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement prohibits withdrawal from the financing account for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of CDB, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. No party other than AID Bank shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Financing.

AID Bank now wishes to procure consultancy services to strengthen the Bank-s due diligence for climate risk assessment of sub-projects.

The objective of the consultancy is to improve the institutional capacity of AID Bank to assess and manage climate risks in its project appraisal processes. The duration of the assignment is expected to be for a period of approximately 5 person-months.

The AID Bank intends to fund sub-projects in the housing sector under the said line of credit but also finances as part of its general operations sub-projects within the productive sectors of agriculture, tourism, industry and services. Climate variability and climate change are already having adverse effects on the productive sectors within the AID Bank-s portfolio. The consultancy will build resilience to the effects of climate change and integrate appropriate climate risk assessment provision into AID Bank-s investment policies and procedures and strengthen staff skills in order to improve AID Bank-s overall due diligence process for credit risk appraisal and sustainability of its operations.

The AID Bank now invites interested eligible individual consultants to submit Expressions of Interest indicating qualifications and experience required to provide these consultancy services.

Eligible countries are member countries of CDB

The attention of interested Consultants is drawn to paragraph 1.9 of the CDB-s Guidelines for the Selection and Engagement of Consultants (2011) setting forth the CDB-s policy on conflict of interest.
