About DRC

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded in 1956 that works in more than 30 countries throughout the world. DRC is a rights-based organization and consistently works with beneficiaries as holders of rights to decide and influence decisions that affect their lives and enhance their ability to enjoy their human rights. The programming ‘lenses’ used in determining the DRC interventions are need-based and rights-based approaches. DRC is committed to international laws, principles, and standards (which constitute the cornerstone of its accountability framework).

DRC has operated in Nigeria since 2015, with the mission to respond to humanitarian emergencies, support solutions to displacement, and address the root causes of displacement through the provision of humanitarian assistance. DRC is registered with the Nigerian Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with the registration number: 1965033. DRC provides life-saving services and protection to vulnerable, conflict-affected populations, including internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees, and host communities in the sectors Protection, Food Security/ Economic Recovery, WASH, shelters and infrastructure, and Humanitarian Disarmament and Peacebuilding (HDP). DRC operates across several Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Borno, Adamawa (Northeast), Sokoto, and Zamfara (Northwest).

DRC Vision regarding Partnerships

DRC adopts a strategic approach to partnerships, grounded in strengthening local capacities and systems. Working with local actors is central to our ambition to support effective, locally anchored humanitarian responses and to promote durable solutions for populations affected by displacement. Implementing programmes with local partners not only aims to expand the reach and effectiveness of interventions but also to strengthen local capacities over the long term through a mutual exchange of expertise and a focus on sustainability.

This call contributes to DRC’s localization strategy as well as commitments within the Grand Bargain in general for the reach of emergency response and protection assistance through strong coordination with local actors. The partnership will be guided by DRC’s Global Civil Society Engagement Strategy, reflective of DRC’s overall civil society partnership/ engagement approach. The partnership will also be grounded in DRC’s values, objectives, and programme strategies, which govern DRC’s selection and approach to implementing partners.

Our commitment to working in partnership is grounded in the following principles:

• Equity: A fair, transparent, and respectful partnership that acknowledges resource imbalances while ensuring equitable treatment and mutual listening.
• Transparency: Open, regular, and honest communication from the outset, supported by clear mechanisms for information sharing, dialogue, and negotiation of roles and responsibilities.
• Results-oriented approach: Partnerships are designed to respond concretely to humanitarian needs, while strengthening the long-term capacities of local partners.
• Complementarity: Partners share common objectives and leverage their respective expertise to deliver a more effective collective response.
• Accountability: Each organization commits to act with integrity, uphold its commitments, and actively prevent any form of abuse, including within capacity strengthening processes.

Objective of this Call

In line with DRC’s global strategic priority of expanding equitable partnerships with local Non-Governmental Organizations (LNGOs), DRC seeks to identify Nigerian NGOs with an interest in future partnerships with DRC.

DRC is seeking to identify and pre-qualify legally registered humanitarian NGOs operating in Nigeria, particularly in the Northeast and Northwest regions, for potential future partnerships. This call aims to establish a pool of vetted partners for future funding opportunities and joint programming initiatives.

If selected, the partner may benefit from one or more of the following commitments from DRC:

• Capacity sharing: Access to an organizational assessment to support technical, organizational, and institutional development through training and assistance in developing internal policies.
• Facilitated access to funding: Active sharing of funding opportunities and support to resource mobilization efforts.
• Sustainability Support: Accompaniment of the partner towards increased autonomy, structuring, and long-term institutional visibility.
• Equitable and strategic partnership: Establishment of a joint governance model promoting transparency, shared responsibility, and joint decision-making.

If selected, partners commit in particular to:

• Actively participating in co-design of projects when funding opportunities arise: Contribute proactively to needs identification, activity design, and definition of implementation approaches in case of joint submissions.
• Engaging in a mutual capacity strengthening process: Be proactive in communicating capacity strengthening needs or proposing knowledge-sharing opportunities, actively participate in trainings and support provided by DRC when relevant, and facilitate knowledge transfer to DRC.
• Ensuring transparent and constructive collaboration: Maintain regular, open, and two-way communication with DRC teams, particularly regarding challenges, required adaptations, and shared achievements.
• Contributing to joint monitoring and learning: Participate in joint monitoring, needs assessments and/or activity evaluations, and openly share feedback to support continuous improvement.
• Complying with the rule of law and applicable legal frameworks: Ensure organizational compliance with laws and regulations in force in Nigeria, particularly regarding labor law, organizational governance, data protection, and human resources management.
• Placing communities at the center of interventions: Ensure active participation of affected populations, promote accountability, and integrate community accountability mechanisms into projects.

REQUEST FOR
EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR THE NATIONAL DIGITAL ECONOMY RESEARCH CLUSTERS
NIGERIA
BUILDING RESILIENT DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWTH – BRIDGE
PROJECT NUMBER: _ P508383
ASSIGNMENT TITLE: QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR UNIVERSITY-LED NATIONAL DIGITAL ECONOMY RESEARCH CLUSTERS
REFERENCE NO. (AS PER PROCUREMENT PLAN): NG-FMCIDE-542751-CS-QCBS

The Federal Government of Nigeria (the “Government”) has applied for financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the ‘Building Resilient Digital Infrastructure for Growth – Bridge’, a Project aimed at deploying a 90,000km Fibre Optic Network. This will be structured as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) implemented through a Special Purpose Vehicle (the “SPV”) company. The Government intends to apply part of the proceeds for the engagement of an independent Quality Assurance firm (“QA Firm” or “Consultant”) to manage coordination, quality assurance, fiduciary oversight, monitoring and evaluation, and knowledge management of the University Led National Digital Economy Research Clusters, in accordance with the World Bank procurement and technical assistance standards.

BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

Nigeria is investing significantly in digital infrastructure, connectivity, and digital public platforms as part of its broader economic transformation agenda. While access has expanded, evidence indicates that access alone does not guarantee meaningful, safe, or productive use of the internet, particularly for unserved and underserved communities. Addressing demand side constraints (skills, trust, relevance, affordability, and institutional readiness) requires robust, locally grounded analytical evidence.

To this end, the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (“FMCIDE”), in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education, is establishing the National Digital Economy Research Clusters Programme (the “Programme”). As part of the Programme, Nigerian universities and accredited research institutions will serve as research providers, organized into thematic research clusters.  Given the scale, multi-partner nature, and fiduciary requirements of the Programme, FMCIDE seeks to engage an independent QA Firm.

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF THE CONSULTANCY

The objective of QA Firm is to provide overall management, coordination, quality assurance, fiduciary oversight, monitoring and evaluation, and consolidated reporting for the Programme ensuring timely delivery, technical quality, fiduciary compliance, learning, and policy relevance of outputs, in line with World Bank Technical Assistance standards (the “Services”).

All reports shall be submitted in English, in editable and PDF formats.

The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the assignment can be found at the following link: b.link/TOR:QualityAssuranceforNDERC

The Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy now invites eligible consulting firms to indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services.

The shortlisting criteria for the Consultant are set out below:

1. Have at least 7 years’ experience managing or coordinating multi-institutional technical assistance or research programmes.
2. Demonstrate experience working with government, universities, and research institutions on policy-oriented programmes.
3. Have proven capacity in programme management, quality assurance, fiduciary oversight, and consolidated reporting.
4. Demonstrate strong monitoring, evaluation, and learning capability.
5. Experience working on digital economy, ICT, or innovation related programmes shall be considered an added advantage.

Key Experts will not be evaluated at the shortlisting stage.

The attention of interested Consultants is drawn to Section III, paragraphs, 3.13, 3.15, 3.16, and 3.17 of the World Bank’s “Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers” February 2025 (“Procurement Regulations”), setting forth the World Bank’s policy on conflict of interest.  A Consultant will be selected in accordance with the Consultants Quality and Cost-based Selection method set out in the Procurement Regulations.

Further information can be obtained at the address below during office hours from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm (local time). Expressions of interest must be delivered in written form to the email address as follows: projectbridge@fmcide.gov.ng or in person, to the address below, by 22nd April 2026.

The Federal Government of Nigeria (the “Government”) has applied for financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the ‘Building Resilient Digital Infrastructure for Growth – Bridge’ (“Project BRIDGE”), a Project aimed at deploying a 90,000km Fibre Optic Network. The Government intends to apply part of the proceeds from Project BRIDGE to fund the National Digital Economy Research Clusters Programme (the “Programme”), through which the Government will engage qualified university-led research clusters to undertake high-quality, policy-relevant research across key thematic areas of the digital economy (the “Services”).

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Nigeria is investing significantly in digital infrastructure, connectivity, and digital public platforms as part of its national economic transformation agenda. Despite progress in access, substantial gaps remain in meaningful, safe, and productive use of the internet, particularly among unserved and underserved populations including rural communities, women, youth, informal workers, persons with disabilities, and micro and small enterprises.

The Programme aims to address these gaps by generating rigorous, policy relevant research delivered by university-led research consortia. It seeks not only to produce applied research outputs, but also to strengthen long-term national research capacity and develop a pipeline of advanced digital economy researchers.  To ensure coherence and strategic alignment with national digital economy priorities, the Programme is organised into six (6) thematic research clusters (the “Research Clusters”). Nigerian universities and accredited research institutions will serve as research providers for each cluster. Strategic oversight of the Programme will be provided by a Technical Assistance Steering Committee co-chaired with the Federal Ministry of Education.

SCOPE OF THE PROGRAMME

The objective of these consultancy assignments are to strengthen the Government of Nigeria’s capacity to design, implement, and evaluate inclusive digital economy policies through high quality, policy relevant research delivered by university led Research Clusters.

THEMATIC RESEARCH CLUSTERS

Eligible institutions are invited to submit Expressions of Interest for one or more of the following six thematic research clusters. Each submission must clearly indicate the specific cluster for which it is made and demonstrate substantive alignment with that cluster’s thematic scope. However, an institution may only be shortlisted in a maximum of three (3) clusters in the capacity of the lead consultant or a Joint Venture member, provided that they have relevant qualifications and experience. This does not limit the capacity of an institution to participate and then be shortlisted in multiple clusters as subconsultant.
