GENERAL PROCUREMENT NOTICE     PAPUA NEW GUINEA PNG AGRICULTURE COMMERCIALIZATION AND DIVERSIFICATION PROJECT (PACD) Agriculture/Rural Development GENERAL PROCUREMENT NOTICE Credit No. IDA64660 Project ID No. P166222     The Independent State of Papua New Guinea (PNG) has received financing in the amount of US$ 40.00 mil equivalent from the World Bank toward the cost of the PNG AGRICULTURE COMMERCIALIZATION AND DIVERSIFICATION PROJECT (PACD), and it intends to apply part of the proceeds to payments for goods, works, non-consulting services and consulting services to be procured under this project.   The project will include the following components:   Component 1: Institutional capacity building The project will address institutional capacity gaps at (i) the central level- DAL, statutory bodies in charge of commodities (Cocoa Board, Coffee Industry Corporation, Spices Industry Board, the Livestock Development Corporation (LDC) and the Kokonas Indastri koporesen) and links with the private sector – and, (ii) the decentralized level – provincial and district capacity to deliver services: extension, advisory and veterinary services, access to inputs. Research needs may also be included and will depend on further discussion during preparation. This first component will also support the GoPNG in reviewing and, if required, reforming their policy and regulatory framework, notably on climate-smart agriculture, extension and veterinary services, quality standards and food safety. Component 2: Infrastructure networks and logistics The infrastructure network, including roads and storage/processing facilities, remains a major bottleneck to farmers’ capacity to access markets. This project should contribute to its improvement, with a focus on infrastructure that has a public good nature and are essential to those priority selected value chains. Examples of such infrastructure include feeder roads, municipality-managed small-scale slaughterhouses (ensuring better food safety and waste management / pollution reduction when the private sector is not yet interested) or laboratories (for safety and quality tests). Component 3: Productive Partnership-like interventions Integrating smallholder farmers into effective supply/value-chains and linking them to markets remains a priority for the GoPNG. This component will promote access to services and markets by facilitating the establishment of Productive Partnerships, and their access to finance (Matching Grants; involvement of financial institutions) that could finance small collective infrastructure (e.g. small storage and processing facilities like community-managed cocoa fermenteries), and the introduction of innovative technologies, notably on climate smart agriculture (agro-forestry, water collection and micro-irrigation, drought resistance varieties, intensification of small livestock production such as poultry and pigs, and bio-digesters). Component 4: Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation This activity would support all PCU activities required to manage IDA funds, procure IDA-funded goods and services, conduct project M&E including Iterative Beneficiary Monitoring (IBM), and comply with safeguard mitigation measures. It would provide training and equipment to modernize DAL operations (computer hardware and software, office furniture, vehicles, and so on) at the central level and in the field as needed for project activities. It would also support the development and implementation of a communications strategy, as well as general awareness and sensitization campaigns about project activities. Component 5: Contingency Emergency Response Component (Total Cost: US$0) Following an eligible crisis or emergency, the government of PNG may request the Bank to re-allocate project funds to support emergency response and reconstruction. This component would draw from the uncommitted grant resources under the project from other project components to cover an emergency response. These activities would be carried out, as needed, to ensure continued achievement of the project development objective. This component will only be used in the event that an emergency response is required.
