REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

COUNTRY – STATE: NIGERIA – ABIA STATE
NAME OF PROJECT: ABIA STATE INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (ABSIIDP)
ISSUANCE DATE: 9th November 2026

A. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
The Abia State Government has received financing from the African Development Bank (AfDB) towards the cost of the Abia State Integrated Infrastructure Development Project (ABSIIDP), and it intends to apply part of the proceeds for Consultancy Services for Sensitization of HIV/AIDS, STIs and TB Mitigation and Gender Issues for Construction of Roads and Erosion Remediation in Aba and Umuahia Cities.

ABSIIDP encompasses the construction of 106km of roads in Aba and Umuahia cities, as well as the remediation of two (2) gully erosion control sites in Aba and Umuahia. The project targets the rehabilitation of key urban and inter-urban road networks across Umuahia North, Umuahia South, Aba North, Aba South, Osisioma, Isiala-Ngwa North, Isiala-Ngwa South, Ugwunagbo, and Obingwa Local Government Areas. Its primary objective is to contribute to socio-economic development and poverty reduction through improved and safe urban infrastructure systems.

Development projects, particularly road construction, are known to exacerbate the spread of HIV/AIDS, STIs, and TB through increased interaction between migrant construction workers and host communities. Upon completion, new roads further heighten these risks through increased mobility and trade. To mitigate this, the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) seeks to engage a qualified consulting firm to sensitize communities along the project corridor, build capacity for sustainable protection against these diseases, and address gender-based violence throughout the construction period and beyond.
