Expression of Interest For Technical Consultant For Vanuatu Affordable Housing Ppp Project

Expression of Interest for Technical Consultant for Vanuatu Affordable Housing PPP Project Vanuatu faces persistent challenges in providing affordable, secure, and climate-resilient housing, particularly for low- and middle-income households. The countrys acute vulnerability to climate change and natural disasterscoupled with rapid urbanization and constrained land availabilityhas intensified housing shortages and underscored the urgent need for innovative, sustainable solutions. In response, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) conducted a rapid assessment of potential housing sites across Vanuatu. Building on these findings, the Government of Vanuatu (GoV) has appointed IFC as the lead transaction advisor for the Vanuatu Climate Resilient Affordable Housing Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Project. The project seeks to expand the supply of affordable housing that is resilient to climate risks and natural disasters, while mobilizing private sector investment and expertise. This initiative is closely aligned with national development priorities, including the Vanuatu 2030: The Peoples Plan, and reinforces the governments commitment to sustainable urban growth and improved living standards. Given Vanuatus heightened exposure to climate-related hazards such as severe storms, flooding, and earthquakes, the project emphasizes the design and construction of high-quality housing that minimizes vulnerability and mitigates the impacts of these events. Equally important is the integration of green building practices and energy-efficient technologies, which will enhance sustainability and long-term resilience of the countrys housing stock. IFC will provide transaction advisory support to the Government of Vanuatu for the selection of a developer to design, build, finance, and maintain green, climate-resilient housing units for low- and middle-income households. The project aims to optimize the supply of affordable housing with minimal fiscal impact. The Government of Vanuatu has identified a site at Bukura, on Efate Island, for the first pilot climate-resilient affordable housing project, to be developed as a public-private partnership (PPP). As part of its advisory role, IFC will conduct geo-technical and hydrology studies, site-specific demand assessments, and technical and commercial evaluations. IFC will assess the sites suitability for PPP development and assist in structuring a commercially viable model to attract private sector participation. As lead advisor for the PPP transaction, IFC will appoint a Consultant to provide technical support during both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project. The Consultant will be responsible for quality control of all deliverables to IFC and for managing the timing and coordination of inputs from Subconsultants. Proposals should outline any previous collaboration with subcontractors or specialists, including Subconsultants, and describe the methodology for ensuring quality control throughout the workflow.
