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

Building on the strong political momentum generated at the G20 Bioeconomy Finance Day in May 2025, FSD Africa and NatureFinance are launching the foundational implementation phase of the Bioeconomy Finance Hub for Africa (‘the Hub’)—a new transformative pan-African platform aimed at unlocking and scaling public and private finance for a nature-positive, inclusive bioeconomy. 

While the Hub is currently in its concept stage, the priority now is to translate this momentum into concrete action by defining a clear three-year implementation plan, securing early-stage funding, and building a small core team to drive its rollout. To this end, we are seeking an exceptional consultancy partner with deep knowledge and experience on the continent in key aspects such as the bioeconomy, climate adaptation and nature conservation, policy design, and investment facilitation to support the operationalisation of this foundational phase and co-develop an early programming framework over an 18-month period running from end of September 2025 to February 2027 

The primary objective of this consultancy is to co-develop practical, stakeholder-validated action plans and roadmaps for three high-priority African bioeconomy use cases, which will be jointly developed and validated through a structured and collaborative process at the outset of the consultancy. 

For each agreed upon use case, the consultancy will identify and prioritise actionable interventions across the Hub’s four strategic pillars: 1) Policy enablement, 2) Capacity building, 3) Data and metrics, 4) Investment catalysation.
