This announcement via the NZ Govt. Electronic Tenders System... *"The New Zealand Aid Programme, acting through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT), is seeking registrations of interest (ROI) from suitably qualified and experienced organisations to partner with MFAT on the design and implementation of an agriculture activity in Myanmar’s Rakhine State that will:
• improve economic opportunities for communities; • increase economic returns through improved agricultural productivity; strengthened linkages to markets; and/or agribusiness development; • build cohesion across and between communities. MFAT’s indicative budget for this Activity is up to NZD$4M over 4 years. Interested organisations will need to demonstrate experience of managing projects of this scale. MFAT will carry out due diligence during its procurement process to ensure that applicants have the capacity and capability to manage New Zealand government funding. Further details on the work required and background on this Activity as contained in the attached ROI document. Questions relating to this ROI must be received in writing to the official contact person by 12:00pm (NZ time) on Thursday 12 September 2013."* This is similar to a recent ROI for Indonesia, in which I engaged with MFAT, proposing biochar related project. It occurs to me that a biochar stove project would tick a lot of boxes but they may be looking for the lead organisation to be NZ based. Any NGO's or TLUD stove groups out there looking for a project with links into NZ? I can send you a copy of the ROI document if you are interested.
