Tenders are invited for TA-10356 REG: Developing Markets and PPP Projects in FCAS and SIDS - Technical Firm Approval Date: 17-Oct-2024 Estimated Commencement Date: 250,000 USD Engagement Period: 2 MONTH Objective and Purpose of the Assignment Fiji is a small island developing state in the South Pacific, spanning a land area of 18,300 square kilometers and consisting of over 300 islands, of which 110 are inhabited. Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, the largest islands, are home to about 97% of the 900,000 population. The high urbanization rate in Fijis Western District, which includes towns like Sigatoka, Lautoka, Ba, and Rakiraki, is part of the broader national trend of increasing urbanization. Fijis overall urban population grew from 50.7% in 2007 to 55.9% by 2017. The Western District, especially areas like Nadi-Lautoka, has seen a higher rate of urbanization compared to other regions due to its economic importance, growing infrastructure, and migration from rural areas. The urban population increase has been driven by factors like natural population growth and rural-urban migration. This urbanization is marked by an increase in informal settlements, which poses significant challenges to solid waste management. Informal settlements, lacking proper sanitation and waste services, contribute to environmental degradation and health risks. The towns in the Western District are facing increasing pressure to improve waste management infrastructure and environmental monitoring as urbanization continues, with plans to enhance landfill operations and relocate dumpsites where necessary. In this context, the Ministry of Local Government (MLG) wishes to explore the feasibility of developing new landfill sites and rehabilitating four existing dump sites as a public-private partnership (PPP) project under the terms of the national PPP Policy. The MLG has limited capacity to develop and implement such a project and has requested assistance from the Asian Development Banks (ADB) Office of Market Development and Public Private Partnerships as an experienced transaction advisor. The Transaction Advisory Services Agreement (TASA) will be executed with the MLG, which is responsible for developing and implementing urban development strategies. he project involves the development and operation of a new sanitary landfill and the remediation of four existing open dumpsites in the Western District of Fiji, covering Sigatoka, Lautoka, Ba, and Rakiraki. The project will be jointly implemented by the Government of Fijis Ministry of Local Government (MLG) and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC). A suitable public- private partnership structure will be developed to mobilize private sector expertise, ensuring the most efficient and effective development and implementation of the project.
