Title:Feasibility study for a microfinance bank

Job Description
I am looking for a very experienced consultant to assist me in putting together a feasibility study for the establishment of a Microfinance Bank. Data has been collected from the field, and the project is half completed. The project needs someone that can pull things together as a project document. The project sponsor has experience in this area, but very busy on other projects at the moment. It is important that those that are bidding for this project have the ability to put this together. I will provide technical input. This is the 2nd time that I am advertising this. I need someone that has real experience in preparing feasibility studies.

Clarification Board
N. B. on 16/11/2009 07:55 amI am interested in this, having done some work on microfinance in the past, but need to have a lot more information before I could consider putting in a bid. So some basic questions:
1. What area of microfinance are you looking at? For instance seed finance for women starting agricultural projects in the third world, or small transactions on mobile phones, both of which class as microfinance but are very different market areas.
2. Is there a technology aspect to the feasibility study? If so what area of expertise is required?
3. My own experience in putting together studies of this type indicates that it is rare that a single individual can do a complete job. Would you consider bids from a consortium lead by a single individual? This would be the basis on which I would want to bid if I decide to bid.
Here are some practical tips on staying safe
- Never pay any money to Clients and or provide sensitive details like your Bank information, Credit Card or Passwords
- Never accept a Job if you have been directed away from PeoplePerHour to another website
- Be cautious when providing your personal contact details (email, telephone number, instant message ID etc) before your Bid is accepted
- If you have been asked to send samples, put a watermark on them or send low resolution examples to avoid being exposed and not getting paid
- Don’t start work before your Bid is accepted and your Escrow deposit is made
- Keep your Escrow account topped up and ensure that you use the Private Message Board to track all pertinent details about the Job e.g. timelines, deliverables etc
- Before you supply final works to Clients, ensure you have adequate funds in Escrow
Remember: if something looks too good to be true, it probably is!
