It should be noted that while the ‘proposed partners’ are logical options for many reasons, RMCs will have the flexibility of working with others 
and final partner selection will be based on which organizations are more competitive for with respect to the required services.

(OSAN) 
Applied 
Agricultural 
R&D
 
Limited prior experience:
The OSAN team 
does not contain any experts in the area of 
agricultural R&D. While the AfDB has 
contributed significantly to the design of the
TAAT program, it does not yet house 
permanent expertise in the related areas. 
While the Bank will not be directly involved in R&D itself, it will need to liaise 
with the CG system and national agricultural research institutes (NARIs). In 
particular, staff will need to manage the integration of CG input across the Bank’s 
borrowing plans and into the design of specific projects.
This FTE will need to have previous experience – whether academic or practical 
– with barriers to development and dissemination of context-appropriate 
technologies in Africa so as to identify appropriate projects for and make 
informed decisions regarding the exchange of and dissemination of technology 
across projects. He/she will also need to be able to manage activities across a 
large portfolio of ongoing projects.
