1 SPECIFIC TERMS OF REFERENCE PRISM Formulation Part II, Support in Identification of Potential Hosts for a Pro-Poor Private Sector Development FWC BENEFICIARIES LOT N 10 - Trade, Standards and Private sector EUROPEAID/127054/C/SER/multi REQUEST N 2011/269413/1 The Action Fiche (AF) concerning the project Poverty Reduction through Inclusive and Sustainable Markets (PRIMS) was presented to the Quality Support Group (QSG) in March, Further its examination, the QSG asked on one hand to revise the original set-up of the for the Pro Poor Private Sector Development and consequently, the assessment of the institutions which could potentially play this role. On the other hand, it asked to shift from a service contract to a combination of a service and a grant contract to finance this. The objective of this proposed framework contract is to supply the Commission with the relevant information to amend the AF. 1. BACKGROUND Private sector development is key to economic growth and it is increasingly being appreciated that private sector enterprises have an important role to play in poverty alleviation: they can serve the poor as clients and customers and involve them as employees, entrepreneurs and traders along the value chain, thus building capacities, generating employment and if the environment is conducive bringing small businesses from the informal into the formal economy. Market-based approaches to poverty reduction and innovative business models leading to more inclusive markets can increase the private sector's contribution to poverty reduction, development and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Innovative approaches to engaging with the private sector in development can leverage private sector funding, skills and competences in a way that contributes to a nation s growth and competitiveness. The last few years have seen an upsurge of interest in market development approaches amongst aid agencies. Alongside M4P [Making Markets work for the Poor] there is UNDP's Growing Inclusive Markets [GIM], the IADB's 1 Opportunities for the Majority and the IFC's Next Four Billion 2. Amongst businesses, there is growing interest in social investment, sustainable business practices, fair trade and engaging with the Base of the (Economic) Pyramid. Although terminology and emphasis may differ, all of these approaches see a market-based economic engagement with the poor as essential for sustainable development. In this context there is room for many more inclusive business models. Therefore, in line with this need to encourage inclusive markets in response to the local needs and by involving local actors and institutions, the Country Strategy Paper ( ) agreed by the European Commission with the Government of Bangladesh, following its mid-term review, has been made more explicit in terms of the need for a more pronounced pro-poor focus in the private sector development (PSD) and trade-related assistance (TPSD) initiatives. PRISM (Poverty Reduction through Inclusive and Sustainable Markets) aims to provide an overall framework to allow testing of different pro-poor PSD approaches and inclusive market models as to their effectiveness, and to replicate or scale up those that are proven to be successful. PRISM accepts the premise that different models need to be tested in the context of Bangladesh to determine which have the best prospects for replication and/or scaling up to have significant impact upon the poor. 1 and and

2 PRISM will focus on: Economic sectors where the poor are disproportionately represented and where there is significant scope for their greater involvement as entrepreneurs, traders, workers/employees, producers. Regions of Bangladesh where the poor in the selected sectors are most concentrated. To avoid fragmentation of effort the geographic area of concentration will be the Administrative Division, however within the selected divisions preference will be given to interventions which are based on districts with a high concentration of the poor involved in the selected economic sector. Areas with the highest incidence of poverty in general, for instance Rangpur and Barisal Division. The overall objective of the project is to reduce poverty across Bangladesh by promoting sustainable pro-poor growth. The specific objective is to enhance the competitiveness of cottage and micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in order to generate employment, increase self-employment opportunities, and reduce vulnerability for poor households in targeted areas of the country and selected sectors of the economy where pro-poor impact is more likely to be significant and sustainable and in a way that addresses the potential adverse effects of market-driven development on the poor. The expected results of this new programme are: 1. Identified opportunities for pro-poor growth through individual baseline studies in a number of key sectors 3 with specific reference to their features in the target regions. The selected economic sectors are value-added and in the field of agro-processing in order to maximise impact on the rural areas (where the poor are most concentrated). 2. Innovative and effective inclusive business models tested, replicated and/or scaled up through approximately thirty five (35) pro-poor Private Sector Development projects. These projects will be monitored and evaluated to identify best practices models applicable to Bangladesh, and are expected to lead to the following outcomes 4 : a) Barriers within the enabling environment to the poor s access to markets and business opportunities lowered through: (i) Lowering of regional and/or sector specific regulatory barriers to the poor s participation in markets; (ii) Lowering of barriers to the poor s participation in markets caused by gender, age or social and cultural factors; (iii) Lowering of information, skills and educational barriers to the poor s participation in markets b) Access to assets and resources improved to enhance the poor s access to markets through: (i) Improvement in the access of the poor to land; (ii) Improvement in the access of the poor to equipment and raw materials; (iii) Improvement in the access of the poor to finance; c) The poor empowered to voice their needs and priorities and influence their situation regarding access to markets through: (i) Improved access to information for decision-making; (ii) Improved access to support and advocacy networks; (iii) Improved capacity to lobby for beneficial reform 3. An effective monitoring and evaluation system established that will allow assessment of the immediate impact of the supported projects and their potential for further scaling up/replication to have major impact on the poor in Bangladesh. 3 As defined in the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Revision 4: Group 101: Processing and preserving of meat; Group102: Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans and molluscs; Group 103: Processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables; Group 104: Manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats; Group 105: Manufacture of dairy products; Group 106: Manufacture of grain mill products, starches and starch products; Group 107: Manufacture of other food products; Group108: Manufacture of prepared animal feeds; Group 151: Tanning and dressing of leather manufacture of luggage, handbags, saddlery and harness; Group 152: Manufacture of footwear; Group 561: Restaurants and mobile food service activities. 4 The key element of the PRISM Programme is a competitive grant scheme. Each grant applicant will be required to estimate their contribution to certain core indicators (including number of FTE (Full Time Equivalent) jobs created). These targets will be summarised at the end of each open call process and will be monitored and evaluated to allow achievement of PRISM s higher level objectives to be monitored. At this stage it is not possible to quantify the specific results of approved grant projects. 2

3 4. Systems for exchanging information on the results of monitoring and evaluation of innovative approaches established so as to encourage replication in other sectors and divisions and scaling up to have significant impact on the poor. 5. A sustainable basis established for the continued piloting and development of scaling up and replication of successful innovative inclusive business models through the enhancement of local institutional capacity at macro and meso levels. PRISM - Method of implementation "PRISM will be implemented by partial decentralised management through the signature of a financing agreement with the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the foreseen operational duration is 72 months as from the signature of the Financing Agreement. Partial decentralised mode: A competitive grant scheme designed to support a wide range of eligible applicant Bangladesh-based organisations in the piloting (design and implementation) of innovative inclusive business models and the scaling up and replication of inclusive business models proven to be successful. 5 Each intervention would be an integrated project with clear expected results contributing towards pro-poor PSD. Whilst the activities of each project will be defined by grant applicants (with the support of PRISM), the latter would be expected to draw from a wide spectrum of possible actions and address a number of dimensions relevant to pro-poor PSD. A vital element of each action must be that it involves a strong capacity development element to strengthen local actors and thus the sustainability of achievements. Centralised mode: Two technical assistance contracts to support: (A) A Pro-Poor PSD (based in a suitable local institution) to (i) support the development of innovative inclusive business models and the scaling up and replication of successful inclusive business models proven to be successful; (ii) monitor and evaluate the performance of supported innovative approaches with respect to their impact (both immediate and potential for scaling up) on pro-poor economic development and (iii) disseminate widely knowledge of those approaches found to be effective. (B) The MoI/SME Cell with the management of the PRISM Grant Scheme and the paying authority, planning, monitoring and financial reporting related to such scheme. The project will be implemented through the signature of contracts for services and supplies following calls for tender and through the signature of the grant contracts following calls for proposals. The Commission controls ex ante all the procurement and grant procedures. Payments are executed by the Commission. The Contracting Authority will be the SME Cell within the Ministry of Industries working in close cooperation with the SME Foundation. The selection of the contracting authority was undertaken following an institutional assessment of relevant structures. The SME Cell and the SME Foundation have been judged as the two most relevant and suitable ones to contribute to the management of PRISM. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the SME Cell and the SME Foundation setting out their respective responsibilities with respect to programme management will be established. Technical assistance will support the SME cell and SME Foundation in terms of institution building and capacity development support." 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT 2.1 Global objective The objective of this proposed framework contract is to supply the EU Delegation with the relevant information to amend the Action Fiche (AF). 5 It should be noted that grants would be intended to support local projects with developmental objectives and not aimed to subsidise for-profit activities of private enterprises. Clear eligibility criteria and rules on the utilisation of resources will be included in the guidelines for the call for proposals of the grant-scheme in PRISM. 3
