Expressions Of Interest : Consultancy services for the preparation of the basic needs trust fund ninth (bntf9) programme closing report
The Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF) is a cyclical Programme which was launched in 1979 and is the principal vehicle within the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) for targeted poverty reduction initiatives. Contributors to the Ninth Cycle of the Unified Special Development Fund (SDF 9) approved a contribution of forty million United States dollars ($40 mn) for the Ninth Phase of the BNTF Programme (BNTF 9). Total funding for BNTF 9 was estimated at $47.43 mn comprising grants of $40.78 and counterpart funding of $6.65mn from the governments of the nine Participating Countries (PCs), namely: Belize, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Cooperative Republic of Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and a special provision for the integration of Suriname, which joined BNTF as a new PC in 2017. The overall outcome of BNTF 9 is improved access to quality education, water and sanitation, basic community access and drainage, livelihoods enhancement and human resource development services in low-income and vulnerable communities.
In keeping with CDB's Operations Manual, each of the nine PCs completed a Country Project Completion Report (CPCR) at the end of the Programme. These country-level reports are meant to capture the degree to which each of their BNTF 9 Project resources were utilised to achieve their development objectives and deliver the outputs and outcomes as set out in the respective Country Policy Framework reports for each country project.
