Technical Assistance to the financial sector in provision of adapted and sustainable capital investments based on demand from the private agricultural sector in Burkina Faso

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Danida

The present assignment concerns technical assistance to the private sector component of the Danish Agricultural Sector Programme for Economic Growth within the Agricultural Sector in Burkina Faso. The Sector Programme is financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The sub-component A2, financing of enterprises, will, by developing adapted financial tools, improve the access for rural enterprises to loans and credits for investments.
The strategy of the intervention will concentrate on two issues:
— Support to two financial institutions in making available medium and long term financing resources (6 to 10 years) and accompanying support. These financial institutions must be wanting to adapt their credit facilities to the enterprises of the agricultural sector.
— The use of a guarantee fund which will allow the financial institutions to partially cover their risks vis-à-vis this type of client (enterprises of the agricultural sector).
The banks have adequate short term resources but have difficulties in financing medium and long term credits. Thus the banks experience a shortage of medium and long term funding in FCFA. The subcomponent takes this into account and proposes to establish a credit line for an amount of 2.5 billion FCFA (at concessional rates) for each of the two selected Financial Institutions.
The objective of the Technical Assistance is to support the Financial Institutions in the development and application of the adapted financial tools in order to improve the access of rural enterprises to investment loans and to ensure optimum exploitation of the guarantee funds.
In particular, the Technical Assistance will support the Financial Institutions with the scaling down of their credit facilities to suit the needs of the enterprises in the agricultural sector. They will also assist the Société Financière de Garantie Interbancaire, SOFIGIB, (by provision of short-term TA) in the development of the guarantee fund adapted to the needs of same enterprises.
The applicants should have substantial experience in:
— Managing assignments of similar size
— providing advisory services to Financial Institutions;
— providing advisory services related to guarantee Funds;
— providing advisory services in relation to the agricultural sector;
— providing advisory services in Francophone Sub Saharan Africa;
— Capacity building.
