Loan No. 2158: Alternative Livelihoods Development Project
The Republic of the Fiji Islands has received for a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) toward the cost of the Alternative Livelihoods Development Project. The loan was approved 28 March 2005.

The Project will develop beneficiaries' capacities and capabilities to secure alternative livelihoods from diversified agriculture, off-farm employment, microenterprises, and improved access to financial services.

The Project has four components: (i) promoting agricultural diversification, strengthening agricultural services, and developing effective public-private sector partnerships in commercial agriculture; (ii) encouraging people to engage in off-farm livelihoods; (iii) strengthening rural financial services; and (iv) project coordination.

Procurement
Goods and services to be financed from the proceeds of ADV loan will be procured in accordance with ADB's Guidelines for Procurement. Equipment, machinery, materials and vehicles valued from $100,000 to $500,000 will be procured by international shopping, and contracts exceeding $500,000 will be procured by international competitive bidding procedures. Goods valued at less than $100,000 may be procured using direct purchase. Given the small and scattered nature of civil works to be constructed and/or rehabilitated, individual contracts are unlikely to attract international bidders.

Consulting Services
The Project will employ two key international specialists: an implementation specialist (36 person-months) and a quarantine specialist (24 person-months) for a combined total of 60 person-months. The Project, will in addition, provide about 46 person-months of international an 27 person-months of domestic consulting services. The consultants will be selected and engaged in accordance with ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants and other arrangements satisfactory to ADB for the engagement of domestic consultants.
