The Government of the Philippines, through the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), is implementing the Philippine Fisheries and Coastal Resiliency (FishCoRe) Project, a seven-year (2023-2029) initiative funded by the World Bank. This project aims to enhance the resilience of marine and coastal ecosystems and communities by improving fisheries resource management and the value of fisheries production within Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs) 6 and 9. It intends to apply part of its proceedings to consulting services.

One of its objectives under the MARLIN Subcomponent 2.2, Aquaculture and Fisheries Enterprise Development, is to provide technical assistance in value chain analysis and business planning to support MARLIN"s goal of delivering climate- and disease-resilient aquaculture and fisheries investments, technology, infrastructure, and other support to stakeholders along the value chain.

In relation to this, the consulting services for conducting value chain analysis (VCA) and value chain development study of priority fishery and aquaculture commodities in Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs) 6 and 9, referred to as “Services,” intends to provide the needed inputs for the planning and development of Aquaculture and Fisheries Enterprise Subprojects in identified Aqua-Industrial Business Corridors (ABCs) such as (a) market research; (b) certification and traceability system establishment and piloting; and (c) diagnostic surveys, and training and capacity building of value chain operators.

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) - Fisheries Coastal Resiliency (FishCoRe) Project, now invites eligible consulting firms (“Consultants”) to indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services. The shortlisting criteria are summarized below:

Must have demonstrated substantial experience (at least five (5) years) in conducting value chain studies and market systems assessments in agriculture, fisheries, and similar products, including evidence of experience with value chain analysis in the Philippines.

Must have proven expertise in Value Chain Analysis as evidenced by authorship of at least two (2) peer-reviewed VCA publications (preferably in agriculture/fishery/aquaculture

commodities), complemented by a strong understanding of the Philippine fisheries situation and, ideally, familiarity with FMAs 6 & 9.

• Must have experience in using software productivity tools to analyze and report on the value chain analysis, including statistical software packages for both quantitative and qualitative analysis.

The Consultant is expected to report to the DA-NFRDI Executive Director and FishCoRe NPMO. Its key tasks include: leading project implementation, submitting an Inception Report, conducting market research, establishing certification/traceability systems, performing diagnostic surveys with operator training, and identifying priority commodities in FMAs 6 & 9 (with BFAR) for comprehensive value chain analysis and development studies. Outputs involve data analysis, VCA documentation, and capacity-building for BFAR/NFRDI, plus business planning for BFAR, LGUs, and Fishermen Organizations/Associations.
