REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (REOI)
The livestock sector is vital for food security and is the single-largest employer, with over 40 percent of Pakistan’s labor force. On-farm productivity is low, especially among small and medium producers (SMP), notably because of (i) their limited scale of production and limited use of farmer aggregation models limiting economies of scale; (ii) limited adoption of good production practices; and (iii) insufficient and/or inadequate support from the public and private sectors for essential knowledge, inputs (e.g., quality feed, breeds, or fish seed and etc.), and services, including extension services, animal health services, and control of animal diseases. Off-farm value addition and commercialization are constrained by the livestock and aquaculture sectors’ inefficiencies, high transaction costs, inefficient post-harvest practices, and poor infrastructure supporting storage, farm-to-market transport, and cold chain. Post-harvest losses in dairy are estimated at around 20 percent due to poor infrastructure for milk collection and processing. In order to face the challenges that the livestock sector is facing in Sindh, the Province of Sindh through the Livestock and Fisheries Department (L&FD) has launched the Sindh Livestock and Aquaculture Development Project (SLADP/ LIVAQUA). SLADP objective is to promote climate-smart and competitive livestock and aquaculture Small and Medium Producers (SMPs) in Sindh.
Sindh Livestock & Fisheries Department invites qualified and experienced professional to express the interest for Financial Manager (Individual Consultant) position for Project Implementation Unit (PIU), Hyderabad under World Bank Assisted “Sindh Livestock and Aquaculture Development Project (SLADP/LIVAQUA)”. This is an exciting opportunity to lead and oversee impactful project with objective to promote climate-smart and competitive small and medium producers in the livestock and aquaculture sectors in Sindh with mission to deliver sustainable and accountable outcomes.
