FRAMEWORK AGREEMENTS FOR SHORT-TERM CONSULTANT FIRMS FOR AGRICULTURE SECTOR PROJECTS OF THE LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS FUND (LLF)

The Lives and Livelihoods Fund (Lives and Livelihoods Fund) is a trust fund within the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) that provides concessional financing to eligible member countries to support vulnerable populations through Health, Social Infrastructure, and Agriculture projects. 

The IsDB, on behalf of the Lives and Livelihoods Fund, seeks to establish framework agreements with firms with expertise in the agriculture sector across the fund’s key geographies and languages of focus. These consultants will be preferred partners who will be called upon to support project design and implementation as needed.

The Terms of Reference (TOR) of the Services is detailed in Section 7. IsDB will select and engage firms in accordance with the IsDB Corporate Procurement Policy.

Consortium arrangements can enhance the breadth of expertise and resources available for the successful execution of projects across various sectors.
