Terms of Reference
The Cooperative Development Foundation of Canada (CDF-Canada) in collaboration with SEND Ghana is implementing a 5.5 years project. The project is entitled, the 4R- Nutrient Stewardship(4R-NSP) and it is funded by the Canadian Government with contribution from Fertilizer Canada and CDF-Canada. The 4R-NSP aims at improving the socio-economic well-being of 30,000 smallholder farmers in Ghana, particularly women through improving agricultural productivity and sustainability.
As part of the strategies of improving agricultural productivity and farm income among smallholder farmers and for that matter cooperatives, the project will be working to ensure that farmers have the capacity to procure inputs and services at the right time for both production and post production activities. One key constraint facing smallholder farms to pursue production is access to finance. Recognizing this challenge, the project designed revolving fund (guarantee fund) to facilitate access to finance. Now, the project is seeking to partner with reputable financial institutions, who can potentially manage and administer the revolving loan fund through the delivery of appropriate financial products and services to the farmers.
It is against this background that the project is seeking for a consultant to carry out a due diligence on financial institutions to identify and recommend the institution to partner with for a successful management and administration of the revolving fund (loan fund) through delivery of financial services and products to the project clients.
