Project ID No.: P513900

Reference No.: LR-LEC-539959-CS-CQS

Closing Date: April 13, 2026

Background

The Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) has secured financing from the World Bank under the Saint Paul 2 Hydropower Project. Part of the proceeds will be applied to consulting services for the preparation of a Resettlement Plan (RP) for Phase 1 Early Construction Works.

This assignment covers one of the required Environmental and Social (E&S) instruments for Phase 1, specifically the RP. The consultant will prepare the RP, including baseline studies, census and asset valuation, inventory of losses, socioeconomic surveys, and stakeholder consultations (with special attention to vulnerable groups). The RP will outline housing, asset restoration, resettlement sites, livelihood programs, and implementation timelines.

The objectives are to:

• Describe early construction works and anticipated land acquisition impacts.
• Document alternatives considered and how resettlement impacts were minimized.
• Identify risks and impacts of land acquisition.
• Propose mitigation measures consistent with the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF).
• Prepare and disclose the final RP, approved by LEC-PIU, EPA, World Bank, and affected communities.
• Implement the RP once Phase 1 effectiveness is reached, including compensation payments.

The consulting services will be contracted by LEC and report to the RESPITE PIU E&S Deputy Manager. Deliverables will be submitted electronically to the RESPITE PIU E&S Manager and Project Director. The engagement duration is six months.

The duration of the engagement will be 6 months.
