Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority (TARDA) Request for Proposals for Management Consultancy

Tana Delta Irrigation Project Sustainable Management of the Tana Delta Irrigation (RICE) Project The Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority (TARDA) intends to identify a reputable Management Consultant to provide operation and management services on the Tana Delta Irrigation Project located in the Tana Delta at Garsen Division, Tana River District, Coast Province.
The Project, which was damaged by Elnino Floods of 1997/98, has recently been rehabilitated to restore the irrigation infrastructure including the on-farm works of up to 1,763ha and the western flood protection dyke, under the Economic Stimulus Project of GoK. However, facilities of the Estate Compound which include buildings and rice mill works are yet to be rehabilitated and will be executed later.
