IFC issues EoIs for ESG adviser on Bangladesh transport
IFC is recruiting a consultant firm to conduct six environmental and social (E&S) studies of a new container terminal in the South Asian market. The World Bank Group member disclosed neither the planned terminal’s location nor capacity. Firms have until 25 November this year to show interest.
IFC aims “to support value added manufacturing and export logistics while creating markets and facilitating private sector participation in ports development,” the recruitment notice said. “Identifying E&S risks at the project conceptualization stage is a crucial aim of IFC's ESG Advisory strategy for Asia.”
The selected adviser will conduct these studies: E&S scoping study; critical habitat screening study; gap analysis of land acquisition and livelihood impacts review; shoreline change modelling and assessment of impacts on areas of high biodiversity values and ecosystem services; dredging impact assessment including dispersion plume modelling value; and climate change resilience assessment.
