Fwd: BoP Opportunity
Nina Henning
I am writing to seek your interest in participating in a new development consulting proposal in the field of BoP.
The William Davidson Institute has been in discussions with Adam Smith International's (ASI) Economic Reform Practice regarding a bid for the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency’s B4D program. In short, the program supports proposals for new forms of dialogue and collaboration with industry. The purpose of the program is to mobilize resources and encourage companies to develop their core activities so that they can contribute even more to improve conditions for poor people. In this way B4D can be of benefit in many different areas, for example health, education, agriculture and forestry, the environment, climate, energy, employment and the infrastructure.
Adam Smith International has a favored status with Sida and has agreed to include WDI in its bid as the sole subcontractor. Our exclusive role will be to provide short term expertise in the field of BoP and impact evaluation. Most of the work will be carried out in developing countries. There will also be some assignments in Stockholm and perhaps other European capitals where Sida has offices. We also anticipate having one long term position for a WDI BoP Consultant/Field Coordinator based at the proposed B4D project office in Stockholm, Sweden. All work permit requirements, expatriate status approvals, etc. will be provided by Sida. The short term consultancy daily rates are capped at $1,000 per day, plus expenses. The annual remuneration for the WDI BoP Consultant/Field Coordinator is in the $100,000-$160,000 range plus housing, etc. but must be supported by a comparable salary history.
Please indicate your interest in the project by responding to this email and attaching a copy of your updated resume. Please also feel free to forward this email to other BoP experts who you believe may be interested in this engagement and encourage them to submit their resume. I look forward to hearing back from you.
My best regards,
