81294312-Mise en ?uvre de la GIRE au niveau local et soutien institutionnel dans le secteur Eau et Assainissement au Bénin
The water and sanitation sector is one of the three priority areas of cooperation between the Republic of Benin and the Federal Republic of Germany. The new AGIR-Eau project (Appui à la Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau dans le context du changement climatique - Support for Integrated Water Resources Management in the context of climate change), financed by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), supports the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in the Pendjari, Mékrou and Mono river basins, as well as the management of wastewater and fecal sludge in the Grand Nokoué and two secondary towns (Djougou and Lokossa). The Ministry of Water and Mines (MEM) is the project's supervising ministry.
The project is composed of three fields of activities, each corresponding to an Output:
1) Policy and strategic support (Output 1)
2) Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in the context of climate change (Output 2)
3) Wastewater and Faecal Sludge Management (Output 3)
Output 1 aims to develop, update and implement water management action plans and programmes that improve climate resilience and gender equality. This area of work provides strategic support to partner ministries (Ministry of Water and Mines, Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, Ministry of Health). Through this component, institutional support is provided as well as the drafting of some strategic documents for the sub-sectors of integrated water resources management and wastewater management. The activities of this component also support governmental reforms for a better support to the Beninese state.
Component B (Output 2) implements activities to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Water and Mines (MEM) and its technical directorates and local water committees on Integrated Water Resources Management in the Pendjari, Mekrou and Mono river basins. The aim is to develop integrated water resource management measures that are resilient to climate change. These measures should enable the populations (especially women) to improve their income and the local water committees to have the financial means to invest in the protection of the resource. In addition, the project will strengthen the Flood Early Warning System (SAP) by rehabilitating the existing network with new telemetric sensors and improving the collection and transmission of real-time sensor data.
Output 3 aims to develop the basic elements of a service chain in the field of wastewater and faecal sludge treatment. This sector is one of the new priorities of the Beninese government and many projects are currently underway (both in Greater Cotonou and in the country's secondary cities) on the setting up of the faecal sludge management service and the construction of treatment plants. In particular, German cooperation, via KfW, has built a faecal sludge treatment plant (STBV) in Calavi to treat the sludge of 300,000 inhabitants of Greater Nokoué. The construction of this STBV is now being finalised. Another STBV financed by the World Bank is being completed in Semé-Podji. Interventions in the field of "Wastewater and faecal sludge management" will concern the whole of Grand Nokoué and two secondary towns, but special attention will be given to the STBV financed by KfW.

The water and sanitation sector is one of the three priority areas of cooperation between the Republic of Benin and the Federal Republic of Germany. The new AGIR-Eau project (Appui à la Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau dans le context du changement climatique - Support for Integrated Water Resources Management in the context of climate change), financed by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), supports the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in the Pendjari, Mékrou and Mono river basins, as well as the management of wastewater and fecal sludge in the Grand Nokoué and two secondary towns (Djougou and Lokossa). The Ministry of Water and Mines (MEM) is the project's supervising ministry.
The project aims to achieve three outputs:
- Output 1 (Policy and strategic support): The policy framework for Integrated Water Resources Management is gender sensitive and climate change resilient
- Output 2 (Integrated Water Resources Management in the context of climate change): Local authorities and local water committees implement IWRM measures in three catchments (Mekrou, Mono and Pendjari) with a focus on climate resilience and gender
- Output 3 (Wastewater and Fecal Sludge Management): The basic components of a service chain in the field of wastewater and fecal sludge treatment have been developed
The project is implemented in collaboration with several state or public partners at the national, departmental and local levels (Ministry of Water and Mines, Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, Ministry of Health, various associated administrative entities and Agencies, Communes) and non-state partners (NGOs, associations, private companies, individual consultants, universities).
In order to support the implementation of these activities, the AGIR-Eau project wishes to recruit an international consultancy firm for the period from July 2023 to December 2024. The contractor will contribute to the achievement of the overall project objective by working on the three components with the relevant implementing partners. However, particular emphasis will be placed on achieving the objectives of Output 2 in the field of Integrated Water Resources Management.
To this end, the contractor will need to mobilise long-term and short-term experts who can carry out the assigned activities under the supervision of the AGIR-Eau project team. The long-term experts will be permanently based in Benin while the short-term experts will carry out field missions and work in their own country of residence.
In more detail the 7 fields of activity include:
Work package 1: Participation in the creation of an IWRM policy framework that integrates new transversal themes such as climate change and gender equality.
(a) Study on the creation and operationalization of the National Agency for Dams and River Basins (ANBBH) in order to advocate for its establishment.
(b) Capacity building of DG Water and its decentralised services in strategic planning and knowledge management.
(c) Preparation and dissemination of guidance on the consideration of IWRM at the municipal level in the context of climate change.
Work package 2: Development of norms and standards for the professional management of wastewater and faecal sludge
The package will require experts to draft a strategy for monitoring the quality of wastewater and faecal sludge with guidelines designed for state monitoring and self-monitoring by faecal sludge treatment plant operators.
Work Packages 3 and 4 : Support authorities and local water committees in 3 watersheds to implement IWRM measures with a focus on climate resilience and gender.
Support the establishment and strengthening of Local Water Committees (CLE) in Pendjari, Mekrou and Mono basins. Enable Local Water Committees (CLE) to implement IWRM measures for climate adaptation.
Work package 5: Early Warning System
Support to DG Water in order to make available quality and real-time information on flood levels and to facilitate its access in the broad sense to all stakeholders. This includes a study on necessary measures for improving the existing early warning systems and a communication plan for early warning.
Work Package 6: Climate Resilient Urban Sanitation
The GIZ in a study entitled "Climate Resilient Urban Sanitation" proposed a method for assessing the climate resilience of sanitation in urban municipalities. The contractor will support the project in testing this method in the urban agglomeration of Grand Nokoué.
Work Package 7: "Supporting the ANCQ in the ISO 17025 accreditation process"
The laboratory of the National Agency for Quality Control of Health Products and Water (ANCQ) has been designated as a reference laboratory for the wastewater and faecal sludge sector. Activities include support to the ANCQ laboratory in the ISO 17025 accreditation process and improving the sustainability of its activities via a new economic model.
GIZ may optionally commission contract amendments and/or increases based on the criteria in the tender documents to the successful bidder of this tender. For details, please see the terms of reference.
