15.   The objectives of this study are to:
-Â Â Â provide the NBA and its Member States with a model to better characterize and understand the functioning of the NID (both at environmental and socio-economic levels), and especially its responses to the phenomena of flood and flood recession and to anthropogenic factors that may influence it; and enable the NBA to use this tool in the future;
-Â Â Â provide useful information for decision making by the member countries of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA), especially by the Governments of Guinea and Mali, regarding trade-offs around the design and operation parameters of hydraulic works or activities interacting with the NID (eg Fomi dam and irrigation development in the Office du Niger);
-Â Â Â train NBA staff to operate and use the model.
16.   The duration of the assignment is eighteen (18) months, overall.
17.   The Niger Basin Authority (NBA) is hereby calling for expressions of interest from eligible applicants including consulting firms with proven experience in areas related to the services described above.
18.   Consultants may associate specifying the leader.
19.   Consultants must have experience in:
a.   development and field calibration of hydrodynamic and socio-economic models taking into account ecosystem services;
b.   Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) on the scale of a transboundary river basin and its technical aspects.
20.   Experience in Sub-Saharan Africa is an asset.
21.   Consultants shall be able to work in French and English, the two working languages of the NBA.

The Niger Basin Authority (NBA) and the World Bank have undertaken a joint initiative to assess the risks from climate change to the performance of NBA’s Strategic Development Action Plan (SDAP), adopted in 2008 by the Heads of State and Government of the 9 member countries of the NBA. The aim of this initiative is to build resilience to climate risks into the SDAP.
This World Bank Study is supported by grants from (i) the Bank-Netherlands Partnership Program (BNPP) Trust Fund, (ii) the Trust Fund for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development (TFESSD) funded by Finland and Norway, (iii) the Norwegian Trust Fund (NTF), and (iv) the Trust Fund for Integrated Land and Water Management for Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change (ILWAC) funded by Denmark. The study was managed by Amal Talbi, Catherine Tovey and Emmanuel Nikiema (AFTWR). Hilaire Doffou, Regional Coordinator WRDSEM Program, was responsible for the coordination with the NBA team.
The Bank mobilized a study team to develop the methodology and carry out the study, comprising Johan Grijsen (Team Leader); Dr. Casey Brown, Yonas Ghile and Ümit Taner, Hydrosystems Research Group (HRG) of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (USA); Dr. Andover Tarhule, University of Oklahoma, Norman (USA), and Aminou Tassiou (Niger). The NBA team consisted of Dr. Abdou Guero, Technical Director NBA, Robert Y. Dessouassi, Head of the Niger Basin Observatory, Soungalo Kone, Modeling Expert at NBA and Bréhima Coulibaly, Regional Coordinator IWRM-2 Project. This Main (Summary) Report on the Climate Risk Assessment for the Sustainable Development Action program for the Niger Basin was prepared by Johan Grijsen. Part of this work has also been published in Ghile et al (2014), Grijsen et al (2013) and Tarhule et al (2014).

A.GENERALITIES
The World Bank, through a CIWA (Cooperation in International Waters in Africa) grant, estimated at 7.5 million US Dollars, is planning to support the Niger Basin Authority (NBA) to strengthen the regional cooperation institutional framework on water resources in the Niger River basin. The technical assistance project being prepared (the Niger River Basin Management Project) includes two components:
- Component 1: Strengthening the Niger Basin Authority for sustainably delivering its core mandate;
- Component 2: Facilitating decision-making within the framework of the Fomi Multipurpose Dam Project preparation process.
The Niger River Basin Management Project is planned to be implemented in five years (January 2015 – December 2019).
B.COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARD PROVISIONS AND PROCEDURES
The Project being prepared is a technical assistance to NBA and it will not finance any physical construction on the field. Within the framework of component 2 of the said Project, following the development of a common vision and an exhaustive roadmap on the steps of the preparation of the Fomi multipurpose dam Project, partners can discuss and initiate complementary studies which could better help them in making decisions. Since the ToRs of those studies could only be developed once the latter have been defined during the implementation of the project, the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) of the Water Resources Development and Sustainable Ecosystems Management Programme (WRDSEM-P/NBA), which is being implemented and which includes the financing of the updating of the Fomi multipurpose dam technical and environmental studies, has been updated so as to cover the objective and components of the Niger River Basin Management Project.
In line with the Water Charter of the Niger Basin and the operational procedures of the World Bank, the Executive Secretariat of the Niger Basin Authority has approved the updated ESMF of WRDSEM-P.
C.AVAILABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF THE UPDATED ESMF
The final report is available and can be consulted by any interested party, at the following address:
