2.1 Procedure

Title : Consulting Services for Conducting a Feasibility Study for the envisaged Nile Delta Shoreline Stabilization (East of Kitchener Drain) Project
Description : The Nile Delta in Egypt is one of the deltas most vulnerable to climate change worldwide. It accounts for large parts of Egypt’s economic activity and source of employment. Therefore, any loss of prime agricultural land due to coastal erosion and flooding will have a direct adverse impact on the livelihoods of millions of people leading to hardship throughout the entire Egyptian economy. The main causes / factors for shoreline erosion alongside the Nile Delta are the: - decline in the supply of fluvial sediments to the coast (as a consequence of dam construction of dams upstream of the Nile River), and - rise of the sea level (currently still minor factor). The German Government intends to make funds available via KfWfor the procurement of consultancy services to support the Egyptian Shore Protection Authority as the Project Executing Agency in the preparation of a Feasibility Study to combat the loss of prime agricultural land due to coastal erosion and flooding. The study serves as preparation for an envisaged investment project. The area of the envisaged Project is a 15 km coastal section east of the Kitchener Drain on the eastern flank of the Nile in the Al-Burullus district of Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. The target group of the envisaged Project is the population in the communities living in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate close to the Project area. The following measures are intended for the envisaged Project: - Investment Measures: Sustainable measures for stabilizing the shoreline at hotspots east of the Kitchener Drain aim to reduce shoreline erosion and flooding risks while minimizing shoreline maintenance needs, preserve existing infrastructure, and enable economic and social development in the Project area. Initial attempts to combat erosion by groynes caused in some places a landward retreat of the shoreline. The envisage Project aims to compensate for this sand loss through nature-based methods such as sand nourishment with sand extracted from the seafloor where deposits of Nile sand accumulated in the past. - Accompanying Measures: Besides stabilizing the coast east of Kitchener Drain, the envisaged Project also contributes to familiarize and strengthen the Egyptian coastal authorities with sand nourishment as a means of nature-based coastal protection leading to more independent future Project implementation. The specific objective of this assignment is to prepare a sound and comprehensive Feasibility Study for the envisaged Project which provides all necessary managerial, technical and financial-economic information with a specific focus on environmental and social risks including their mitigation for informed decision making. The employer reserves the right to cancel the tender if the financing of the investment project (not the study) does not materialize, without incurring any liability towards the applicants.
