Options for Setting and Adjusting Revenue Requirements and Improving Tariff Structure of the Electricity Sector Tenders are invited for Options for Setting and Adjusting Revenue Requirements and Improving Tariff Structure of the Electricity Sector in Republic of Congo. BACKGOUND: The Republic of Congo has significant energy resources, mainly hydroelectric, oil, and gas. The hydroelectric potential is estimated at 27,000 MW, of which only 1 percent is currently exploited. Of the installed capacity of 749 MW, 640 MW are available during high water periods compared to 598 MW during low water periods; if the largest turbine is stopped (170 MW), this available power is reduced to 428 MW, while the peak demand was 446 MW in 2018, indicating stress between supply and demand. Meanwhile, the demand continues to grow rapidly and steadily, between 10 and 20 percent per year in recent years. Despite national energy resources, access to electricity remains low with a national electricity access rate of only 31 percent. In urban areas, where 64 percent of the 5.9 million Congolese live, mainly in Brazzaville and Pointe Noire, the electrification rate is 50 percent while only 13 percent of the rural population has access to electricity. The commercial performance of the public company E2C, established in 2018 as an asset company but also temporarily taking over operations of the former national electricity company SNE in all segments of the electricity supply chain, has been poor. The total network losses are between 40 and 45 percent, about 44 percent of E2C's customers are billed on a flat rate or receive electricity for free, and the current bill recovery rate is 73 percent without significant recent improvement. Furthermore, current tariffs do not cover the cost of service provision, which, combined with operational inefficiencies of the national public service, further widens the gap. Electricity tariffs have been unchanged since 1994 and now need to be adjusted, on the one hand, to contribute to the recovery and financial viability of E2C and other operators, and on the other hand, to be adapted to the households' ability to pay, even the most disadvantaged. As part of the implementation of the reform activities in the electric power sector, the PEEDU financed a study on electricity demand and pricing in the Republic of Congo, conducted by ARTELIA Ville Transport - PPA Energy, from June 2014 to July 2015. The overall objective of this study was to determine tariffs that ensure the financial balance of the sector and its development while improving the living conditions of the population. In addition to this study, in 2020, the International Brain Consulting Firm (Cabinet IBC) was selected for a mission to propose tariff grids applicable to users of the electricity sector. 2. OVERALL OBJECTIVE In light of the above, the World Bank Group (WBG) as part of its Programmatic Advisory Support and Analytics (PASA) program for the energy sector of the Republic of Congo (RoC), has proposed technical assistance to the GoRC ARSEL, to strengthen its tariff setting capacity and ultimately raise the financial viability of the electricity sector. With funding from the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), the WBG, will prepare: (i) a cost of service study (CoS), to analyze options and develop a recommended methodology for calculating the annual revenue requirement (ARR) for the power utilities that would allow them to efficiently operate; (ii) identify a financial model for the electricity sector; which will provide a framework to anchor financial planning at the utility level; and (iii) recommend improvements to the existing tariff structure for electricity service provided by E2C to its customers. The WBG is seeking to hire a consulting firm (the Consultant) to help carry out the needed analyses. The exact scope of work is defined thereafter. 3. SCOPE OF WORK TASK 1: Analysis of options and development of recommended approach for the determination of ARRs for services subject to economic regulation in all segments of the electricity supply chain and procedures and formulae for periodic adjustment. This task will be performed for the generation, transmission and distribution retail segments; it will assess the respective ARR for efficient service delivery of E2C in a “base year”, as well as the procedures to periodically adjust them according to changes in the respective cost drivers. Determination of ARR will take into consideration development plans in each segment in the next 10 years. The Consultant will develop methods, procedures and formulae for the determination and periodic adjustment of the revenues that E2C should be entitled to collect for efficient operations in generation, transmission, and distribution and retail segments. The ARR and adjustments thereof shall cover: - Operating costs (OPEX) to efficiently run the company (system operation, operation and maintenance of generation plants, transmission and distribution networks, retail commercial activities, corporate functions, etc.); - Investments costs (CAPEX) for the rehabilitation, renovation, upgrading and expansion of electricity transmission and distribution and commercial infrastructure needed to provide electricity services meeting applicable quality standards; - Costs of energy purchases and transmission and ancillary services incurred to efficiently provide electricity services (sales plus allowed losses). TASK 2. Financial model for the electricity sector. Based on the results of Task 1, the Consultant will provide a financial model for the sector, which will allow for a sound financial planning reflecting: (i) the identified ARRs; (ii) indebtedness capacity and financing instruments options; and (iii) financial ratios typical for the industry for E2C. The financial model will be designed to allow the capturing of alternative scenarios of investment, demand, number of connections, KPI indicators, generation costs, transmission, and distribution (TD) costs, commitments under power purchase agreements (PPAs) or other contracts and variables. Thus, the model will enable the periodic adjustment of each of the components of the AAR to address changes in the main cost drivers and ensure cost recovery. The model shall include the possibility to parametrize different scenarios of managerial, technical and commercial efficiency, as well as the tariff revision period and the implementation of the tariff changes over a specific period of time. The model shall include the following modules and allow for the projection of: ü Demand; ü KPI Indicators; ü Number of new connections; ü Capital expenditure; ü Operating and Maintenance Expenditure; ü Revenues; ü Long term Debt; ü Balance Sheet; ü Profit Loss; ü Cash Flow. The model will also include a separate and user-friendly module of initial conditions and hypothesis organized by nature of information. The model should be developed in Excel and be handed over with a user manual. TASK 3: Analysis of options and development of recommendations to improve the existing tariff structure and its periodical adjustments. Based on results of cost of service and annual revenue requirements assessment, policy advice and specific recommendations will be given to ARSEL to improve allocation of components of ARRs among categories of consumers and charges within each category. Therefore, the Consultant will review the existing tariff structure and propose amendments to improve it, provide consumers with right signals on total costs of efficient service provision, and promote rational electricity consumption. Options to be analyzed comprise, among others: (i) binomial time of use (TOU) tariffs with separate energy and demand charges; (ii) tariff differentiation per voltage level; (iii) seasonal tariffs. The identified options shall take into account economic efficiency, financial viability and social objectives. In particular, they should allow for socially sensitive rates that include cross-subsidy towards economically weak consumer categories, and cost-reflective rates for consumers with ability to pay, identified based on consumption histograms. The recommendations should incorporate provisions for allocating fixed and variable costs incurred for service delivery in each segment of the electricity supply chain (generation, transmission and distribution) across tariff categories. Finally, the Consultant will develop formulae for the quarterly adjustment of the various rates that form part of the tariff structure. TASK 4: Analysis of options and development of a recommended strategy for the transition period. The Consultant will identify a strategy (“glide path”) to move progressively from current situation to the “steady state” condition, in which a fully cost-recovery tariff structure is enforced. This includes a roadmap that ARSEL may implement to reduce overtime government compensation to sector operators and advice for the next quinquennial tariff reset. The duration of the transition period and the progressive adjustments to converge to the “steady state” condition will be determined considering political and social acceptability. Thus, the strategy will define formulae for adjusting the different rates under the tariff structure with adequate progression; the time schedule for effective application of the revised tariff regime and modalities for communication. 4. IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE ASSIGNMENT Organization and Management. The proposed assignment is a World Bank-executed activity. As such, in performing the tasks above, the Consultant shall comply with the World Bank-s policies and rules concerning the work of consultants, as well as standards and requirements indicated in the contract. The Consultant shall work in close coordination with the key national stakeholders, namely Ministry of Energy and Hydraulics (MEH THE WORLD BANK GROUP Republic of Congo Tender Notice International Competitive Bidding 0002005807 Congo GT-93687818

Study on Availability and Cost of Rehabilitation following Road Traffic Injuries Expression of Interest are invited for Study on Availability and Cost of Rehabilitation following Road Traffic Injuries The study “Beyond the Numbers: Estimating the Disability Burden of Road Traffic Injuries” followed patients hospitalized for Road Traffic Injuries (RTIs) in six LMICs - Bangladesh; Cambodia; Ethiopia; Mexico; Ukraine; and Zambia to assess the longer-term health and disability-related impacts of road traffic accidents. One of the report's major findings was that only 10% of patients were discharged to a rehabilitation facility following their hospital stay in five countries.Immediate medical care following a road traffic accident is critical to reduce fatalities and severity of disability resulting from the crash. However; it is not sufficient to reduce the long-term impacts of disabling conditions on daily living activities; return to work and productivity; and independent living. These impacts of RTIs and lack of supports and services can result in increased psychological stress and mental health concerns. The study on Beyond the Numbers also showed that women faced higher barriers in accessing health care and rehabilitation services following RTIs.The lack of rehabilitation services or resources to provide support can seriously hamper the probability and opportunity for a person to return to work; leading to added losses on a country-s GDP. In addition; it often impacts the earning capacity of the household as additional caregiving responsibility may fall on family members; most often female members of the household. This is compounded by the fact that households of persons facing long-term health impacts of RTIs often face additional out-of-pocket costs to cover rehabilitation services; if available; procuring assistive devices and caregiving services. This study will build on the six-country study of individuals acquiring disabilities following RTIs. The study's main objectives will be to (i) increase knowledge of the availability and transition to rehabilitation services following RTIs; with attention to concerns of gender equity; and (ii) develop a roadmap to policymakers; relevant government officials; and development practitioners on resource allocation and investments in rehabilitation services.

Case Studies of Investment and Design of Integrated Aquaculture into Land and Seascapes Expression of Interest are invited for Case Studies of Investment and Design of Integrated Aquaculture into Land and Seascapes The escalating challenges posed by climate change coupled with the rapid expansion of the global human population have created an urgent imperative to seek out and establish food production systems that are not only sustainable but also resilient and highly efficient These systems must not only cater to our nutritional needs but also play a crucial role in the conservation and restoration of biodiversity while simultaneously offering essential ecosystem services The resilience of agricultural landscapes and the livelihoods of resourcepoor farmers particularly women and youth face a mounting threat due to multiple factors including but not limited to resource scarcity the ongoing loss of biodiversity and the suboptimal utilization of the available natural resources As population growth and urbanization continue the competition for finite resources intensifies placing additional stress on smallscale farmers who rely on these resources for their sustenance Biodiversity loss is a pressing concern in agricultural landscapes It disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystems making crops more susceptible to extreme weather events This in turn heightens the vulnerability of resourcepoor farmers and exacerbates food insecurity Furthermore inefficiencies in resource utilization land water and energy represent a significant hurdle Many resourcepoor farmers lack access to modern agricultural practices and technologies that can optimize resource use As a result they may overuse or misuse resources leading to land degradation nutrient depletion and decreased productivity over time These intertwined challenges underscore the necessity for innovative and adaptable solutions that can safeguard both the environment and the wellbeing of those dependent on it In response to these multifaceted challenges aquaculture emerges as a vital solution with farreaching implications As of the year 2020 aquaculture stood as a pivotal player in global food production contributing an impressive 57 of all blue food production Notably this industry has served as a substantial source of employment generating over 20 million jobs primarily in rural areas Moreover aquaculture serves as a lifeline for billions of individuals across the globe offering them a means of livelihood and sustenance Furthermore aquaculture is noteworthy for its potential to empower marginalized groups including women and youth by providing them with opportunities for meaningful employment and income generation By bolstering their engagement in aquaculture activities these groups can attain a more secure economic foothold fostering community resilience in the face of environmental and economic uncertainties However the challenges faced by aquaculture particularly in the context of fed aquaculture are indeed multifaceted and often aggravated in resourcepoor fish farm settings A significant issue is the inadequacy and prohibitive costs associated with the inputs eg fish feed fertilizers technical resources etc required for successful fish farming operations The resulting consequence of these challenges is substantial yield gaps which essentially means that the potential production capacity of these aquaculture systems remains vastly underutilized Addressing these challenges necessitates innovative approaches that can empower resourcepoor fish farmers and bridge the existing yield gaps One such approach is the concept of integrated aquaculture that synergizes different components of the farming systems optimizes the use of available resources to produce a higher yield per unit of input often referred to as more crop per drop Therefore integrated aquaculture emerges as a promising pathway to not only boost food production and food security but also has the potential to increase economic resilience of farmers in resourcepoor settings Moreover the findings from initiatives like the Pathways to Inclusion of Aquaculture into Land and Seascape Programs P178806 underscore that integrated aquaculture not only leads to increased productivity and revenue generation but also reduces the environmental footprint associated with agricultural and livestock operations within land and seascapes Integrating aquaculture into land and seascape programs can enhance their land and seascape design and implementation directly empower women and youth bolstering their engagement in incomegenerating endeavors Studies indicate that globally women are only involved in about 20 of direct aquaculture production and especially less in intensive commercial systems Conversely approximately 60 of women actively engage in postproduction tasks such as harvesting product cleaning preparation marketing and value addition along with juvenile rearing activities like hatcheries and nurseries Integrated aquaculture known for its extensive and environmentally friendly approach enables broader participation by women and youth across the entire production chain in communitybased settings Aquaculture while vital for global food security and income generation has often been criticized for negative environmental impacts However by harnessing the principles of natural ecosystems integrated aquaculture can serve as a naturebased solution NBS that not only reduces the environmental footprint of aquaculture operations but also promotes ecological sustainability biodiversityfriendly practices biodiversity conservation and potentially facilitates payment for ecosystems services PES Disclaimer The above text is machine translated For

Land Degradation in Central Asia Tenders are invited for Land Degradation in Central Asia Central Asia faces significant challenges related to land degradation including desertification soil erosion and loss of biodiversity This study aims to comprehensively assess the extent causes and consequences of land degradation in the Central Asian region focusing on its social economic and environmental impacts and paying specific attention to a Identifying and characterizing specific hotspots of land degradation b Quantifying the economic impacts of land degradation for the selected countries c Identifying the crosscountry spill over effect of land degradation hotspotsd Identifying the implications of land degradation for water and energy management and degradation is a pressing concern that reaches across all republics of Central Asia and is increasingly affecting growth and livelihoods Degradation is estimated to be extensive ranging from 410 per cent of cropped land 2768 per cent of pasture land and 18 per cent of forested land in total representing 40100 per cent of land degraded in each country Although the drivers of degradation so far are mainly due to economic activity climate change is already adding additional drivers which are likely to be exacerbated in the coming years Impacts of land degradation will increasingly entail spill over across borders through supply chain disruptions food insecurity increased migration and communal and international conflicts over resources particularly water In a context of projected extreme water scarcity land degradation will impact water availability to the energy sector of CA countries both directly and indirectly through the policies and investments that each countries will individually put in place such as irrigation schemes and dams affecting downstream water availability In settings such as the Ferghana Valley which is shared by Uzbekistan Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic exposure significantly exacerbates an already fragile and complex environment Evidence from CCDRs suggests that the cost of failing to take action will be significant For example in Uzbekistan climate induced damages will cost the economy 8 percent of GDP by 2050 in the absence of adaptation Strengthening adaptation in CA countries requires a deeper understanding of the dynamics of climate induced land degradation on growth equity and sustainability and of the drivers of resilience in the region Policy makers attention to climate impacts effects on land degradation and its crossboundary impacts and dynamics is however still in its infancy The analysis will be conducted in selected hotspots It will include among others i assessing impacts of land degradation and water scarcity not only on livelihoods and income but also on sustainability of existing and upcoming hydropower dams ii understanding the implications of land degradation and water scarcity for households eg agricultural production income and poverty iii assessing cost and benefits of adaptation options and iv assessing the regional carbon storage potential and its relevance for the establishment of a future regional carbon marketThe analysis will provide a districtlevel assessment of vulnerability and will quantify impacts on land degradation with a discrete picture of the local level vulnerability across Central Asia the analysis will then identify areas at high risk of crossborder spillovers The study further lay the ground to identify hotpots of vulnerability where climateinduced water scarcity interacts with and aggravates land degradation with implications for disaster risk and severity The analysis will make use of a methodology already developed tested and piloted in policyoriented research The expected duration of the assignment is 6 months from contract signature THE WORLD BANK GROUP 1818 H Street NW Washington DC 20433 Tel 202 4731000 Tender Notice International Competitive Bidding 0002004967 United States of America GT91626654
