Request for Proposal For Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (Esia) And Environmental & Social Management Plan (Esmp) Consultancy Services For An Independent Environmental Control Officer (Eco)

Request For Proposals Are Invited For Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (Esia) And Environmental & Social Management Plan (Esmp) Consultancy Services For An Independent Environmental Control Officer (Eco). Project Description The Project Area Is Within The Shiselweni Region, Which Remains The Poorest Of The Four Regions Within Eswatini With High Poverty Indices (Eswatini Household Income And Expenditure Survey 2016/17). 67.2% Of The RegionS Population Live Below The Poverty Line With 21.1% Described As Living In Extreme Poverty. The Multiple-Indicator Cluster Survey Conducted In 2014 Identified The Shiselweni Region As The Region With The Lowest Electricity Access Rate Amongst The Four Regions At 48 Percent. This Reduces The Potential For Economic Growth. The Existing Electricity Network In The Shiselweni Region, Has Limited Capacity To Reliably Deliver The Power Needed To Meet Current And Potential Future Demand. Currently, Shiselweni Is Served By An 11Kv Distribution Network That Runs From The Bulk Supply Point At Nhlangano Ii Substation To Lavumisa, Approximately 90Km Away Which Makes It The Longest 11Kv Feeder In Eswatini. Due To Its Long Length And Current Load In The Region, This Results In Poor Quality Of Service Characterized By Low Voltages, Frequent Power Outages And Increased Technical Losses.
