EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
NIGER DELTA ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL STUDY
Grant No. 2100155002668
The Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has received a grant from the African
Development Fund to finance the Niger Delta Environmental and Social Study.
The sector goal is to contribute towards sustainable socio-economic development while the specific
objective of the study is to establish appropriate environmental and social management mechanisms
that will ensure sustainable development in the Niger Delta Region.
The outputs of the study will include: (i) the establishment of an environmental information
management system (EIMS); (ii) the development of an environmental and social management action
plan (ESMAP); and iii) the preparation of at least two viable projects to address priority
environmental and social management issues in the NDR.
The results of the proposed environmental review will guide the government in formulating and
adopting appropriate policies and procedures and institute the necessary reforms and legislation for
the sustained development of natural resources in the Niger Delta Region. The Study, which will take
15 months, will be carried out in two Phases.
Phase I: This phase is estimated to take eight (8) months. The activities under this phase would
include the review of all-available data and reports, diagnosis of the problems and issues facing the
sector and the establishment of an environmental information management system. In addition, the
consultant will review in great detail the Niger Delta Master Plan, its recommendations and the EIA
mitigation measures. Phase I activities will also comprise a diagnostic assessment of the environment
and social issues, problems, constraints, strengths, resources and potential. The study results will be
stored in a computerized/ digitalized environmental information management system that can be
updated and consulted regularly.
Phase II: This phase is estimated to last seven (7) months. The major activity under this phase will be
the articulation of a broad-based Environment and Social Management Action Plan (ESMAP). The
proposed environment and social management action plan would complement the Niger Delta Master
Plan. The ESMAP which will be subjected to periodic reviews and adjustments, will be developed to
correct past environmental degradation, to modify on-going activities that are environmentally
harmful, and to establish a system for monitoring and surveillance of environmental and social
impacts for all future development projects. The consultants will also identify and prepare two
bankable projects aimed at addressing priority problems identified by the study.
Acquisition of the services of the Consultant will follow the Fund’s Rules of Procedure for the Use of
Consultants.
