- Description
- Draft FaBS SOW for comments USAID/Ethiopia invites comments and suggestions on the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW) for implementation of the Finance and Business Services (FaBS) Project in Ethiopia. FaBS will serve as the mission's flagship private sector project, designed to significantly compliment several other initiatives under the Feed the Future program. A central, guiding principle of FaBS is that the recent ambitious economic growth projections - outlined under the USG-led FtF initiative as well as in Ethiopia's 5 year Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) - will require a vibrant, competitive private sector whose need for investment capital can be affordable met by both bank and non-bank intermediaries. In consideration of the role of financial intermediation to achieve sustained economic growth rates in excess of 10% annually over the next five years, the capacity of financial institutions will have to be vastly improved to enable them channel resources from savers to investors in a cost-effective framework, where risk is appropriately priced. At present the Ethiopian economy in general, and the financial sector in particular, exhibit several deficiencies in how well it delivers the above services. As a result, the development of a stable, efficient and inclusive financial system, along with an effective policy and institutional environment for private sector growth are crucial to sustained economic growth for Ethiopia. Potential offerors interested in participating in this competition are strongly encouraged to review the SOW and provide comments and suggestions, including the contract type and program module approach with initial emphasis on detailed description of program module one. The deadline for submitting comments and suggestions is December 12, 2011. Please submit written comments and suggestions electronically to caddis@usaid.gov copied to the FaBS Technical Manager, Lazarre Potier at lpotier@usaid.gov. Please insert "FaBS SOW_Revised" in the subject line of the e-mail.
