Project Measures

The Green City Kigali (GCK) project (the 'Project') is a sustainable urban development initiative aimed at providing affordable housing for targeted groups in a culturally compatible and climate-resilient urban community. The project is being led by the Rwanda National Fund for Environment (FONERWA) with support from the German Government through KfW Development Bank and the German Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ).

FONERWA and Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB) have established the Green City Kigali Company (GCKC) as the Project Executing Agency (PEA) in the form of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). GCKC is a community benefit company and is currently in a start-up phase and is quickly institutionalizing to undertake its mandate.

The Project is being implemented in a suburb of Kigali known as Kinyinya Hill. The concept urban master planning for a 600ha site on the Hill is underway, which will inform the detailed neighbourhood planning and design elaboration for a 16-ha pilot to be implemented.

GCKC is now seeking services of a consulting firm to provide institutional support in its own institutionalization, the management and implementation of the GCK project. The institutional setup has two parallel processes: the setup and institutionalization of GCKC as an effective community benefit company and the successful execution of the Green City Kigali pilot project. The requested services are divided into two main support categories:

1. General Management & Project Management Support through international long-term experts; and

2. Specific short-term Support through a pool of international and national short-term experts.

Services are to be provided by a team comprising of international and national long-and short-term experts with proven expertise in Real Estate Management; Business and Institutional Development; Financial Management and Reporting, Strategic Planning, HR, Environmental and Social aspects, Procurement, Urban and Infrastructure Planning and Management.

The prequalification procedure of experienced Consultants will follow the KfW "Guidelines for Consulting Services, Works, Plant, Goods and Non-Consulting Services in Financial Cooperation with Partner Countries", which are available on KfW's internet web-site (version January 2021):

EN.pdf

It is foreseen to award the services to an internationally operating consortium of consulting firms, which is highly experienced in the concerned fields with an annual turnover of the lead consultant and all associated partners showing the necessary annual turnover for the consortium as a group of at least EUR 2.1 million. An association with a domestic consultant is highly appreciated.

The expected project duration is 24 months.
