TERMS OF REFERENCE Consultancy to Develop Action Plans and Roadmaps for the Bioeconomy Finance Hub for Africa

FSD Africa and NatureFinance are seeking a consultancy partner to operationalise the Bioeconomy Finance Hub for Africa. The consultancy will run from September 2025 to February 2027, focusing on developing action plans and roadmaps for three high-priority bioeconomy use cases to unlock public and private finance for nature-positive economic transformation in Africa.

• The Bioeconomy Finance Hub for Africa is a pan-African platform designed to scale finance for a sustainable, nature-positive bioeconomy, operating across four strategic pillars: Policy enablement, Capacity building, Data and metrics, and Investment catalysation.
• The consultancy's primary objective is to identify and develop stakeholder-validated action plans and roadmaps for three high-priority bioeconomy use cases, which are defined as specific sectors or value chains within a geographic region in Africa.
• The consultancy is divided into three core components: shortlisting three priority use cases (10% of effort), co-developing roadmaps and action plans for those use cases (70%), and providing strategic fundraising inputs for donor engagement (20%).
• The Hub's early programming will target use cases based on their potential to drive job creation, economic growth, trade competitiveness, and the catalysation of financing for sustainable bio-based goods and services.
• The consultancy will produce specific deliverables for each use case, including detailed action plans and standalone knowledge products that summarise barriers to scaling nature-positive finance and provide regionally grounded recommendations.
• The engagement period for the consultancy is scheduled from the end of September 2025 to February 2027, with all final deliverables due by 27 February 2027.
