Expression of Interest for Enhancing Value Addition in Cameroons Maize and Animal Product Value Chains through Agro-Industrial To support the World Bank and the European Union in identifying commercially viable processing opportunities in the maize and livestock sectors, and to define the infrastructure and services needed to operationalize agro-industrial clusters to foster the processing in those value chains. Background: Cameroon is prioritizing agro-industrial development as a vehicle for rural transformation and job creation. In particular, the country seeks to increase value addition in maize and animal productsleveraging processing hubs to strengthen post-harvest handling, reduce losses, and integrate producers. These clusters may be established as standalone sites or embedded within existing agropoles/economic zones. Scope of Work: The study will be conducted over 10 weeks and will include the following phases: 1. Evaluation of Existing Clusters/Agropoles and SEZs 2. Review 45 sites (e.g., Ntui, Ngaoundéré, Kribi SEZ) Assess infrastructure, land readiness, governance, and service delivery Identify operational lessons for future zone planning 3. Geographic Mapping of Production & Product Opportunities 4. Map maize and livestock production clusters using secondary data and field interviews Identify viable processed products per region (e.g., maize flour, animal feed, poultry cuts, powdered milk) Analyze roles and constraints of existing players along the value chain (e.g. processors, cooperatives, and smallholders) 5. Zone Selection and Product-Market Alignment 6. Select 3 high-potential agro-industrial zone locations based on production, market access, land status, and governance readiness Propose an ideal product mix for each zone based on commercial potential and value chain fit 7. Infrastructure & Processing Blueprint 8. Define the infrastructure, utilities, and shared services required to support each zones proposed product mix Include energy, water, waste treatment, feed mills, chilling facilities, and SPS support services Output: concise Infrastructure & Processing Blueprint per zone to guide public/private investment 9. Final Recommendations 10. Provide 812 actionable recommendations across zone development, infrastructure investment, governance, and value chain integration Include a policy brief and slide deck for dissemination Tender Link : http://www.worldbank.org/en/about/corporate-procurement/business-opportunities/administrative-procurement?order=desc
