Details
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) invites consulting firms to submit proposals to provide advisory services on standards alignment, taxonomy development, key performance indicators (KPIs), and certification readiness for the Jamaica Agrifood Resilience Instrument.
1. Technical objectives & standards alignment
Thematic alignment: Ensure Jamaica’s agrifood resilience instrument pathway, taxonomy, and adaptation/resilience KPI set remain aligned with recognized international green, sustainability, and resilience bond standards from design through certification readiness.
Taxonomy & KPI analysis: Review regional taxonomies as applied to agrifood pillars (protected agriculture, irrigation, primary production, processing, agrilogistics, fisheries, and rural infrastructure) to define credible use-of-proceeds eligibility criteria and quantifiable KPIs.
Capacity building: Deliver presentations to Jamaican counterparts and conduct two virtual training sessions for IDB Agriculture and Rural Development Division staff to build internal capacity on agrifood thematic finance.
2. Certification readiness & pipeline screening
Certification gap review: Review Jamaica’s taxonomy application against recognized criteria, identifying gaps that could hinder external certification or second-party opinions.
Pipeline screening & MRV advisory: Provide standards-based input for candidate projects, assessing use-of-proceeds credibility, baseline data availability, peer comparability, and associated Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) arrangements.
Certification pathway recommendation: Develop a step-by-step roadmap setting out requirements, evidence, and timelines for external review or certification of the priority instrument, validated with national counterparts.
3. Contract parameters & key deliverables
Engagement structure: All-inclusive lump-sum consulting contract with an estimated value of US$60,000 and a duration of 16 months, executed remotely via virtual working sessions.
Key deliverables: Inception note and kick-off presentation; two IDB staff training sessions with training materials; regional taxonomy/KPI review; certification gap analysis and pathway recommendation; and final applied toolkit uptake note.
