A key pillar of the programme seeks to apply and test robust natural capital approaches to infrastructure projects in Africa.

As part of the programme, AfDB and GGKP have launched a Request for Proposals (RfP) to identify a technical partner to apply robust natural capital methods, support data collection and generate convincing results to influence infrastructure decision making in African development finance, in particular an AfDB project in Madagascar and Mozambique.

This Request for Proposals aims to identify a technical partner and methods for demonstrating the value of the natural capital approach in an AfDB infrastructure project in Mozambique, namely, the “Pemba-Lichinga Integrated Development Corridor Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ)” (hereinafter the “Project”).
