Development of a green corridor project and street design training in Dakar

Prepare a pre-feasibility study for a Green Corridor to improve safe pedestrian access to public transport in Keur Massar and strengthen institutional capacities for climate-resilient, inclusive street design and participatory project development in Dakar. WP1 Baseline study - Review existing data and studies; identify gaps; conduct additional data collection (e.g. traffic counts, user surveys, air quality and environmental measurements). - Analyse urban context and land use; travel demand (quantitative and qualitative); supply quality and capacity for all modes; safety and conflicts; environmental quality; climate stress (heat, flooding); gender and social inclusion; institutional and legal framework; state-of-the-art references (incl. regional examples). - Deliverables: D1.1 Methodological orientation (inception) report; D1.2 Baseline report; D1.3 Slide deck; D1.4 Provision of raw, machine-readable and editable data and media. WP2 Participation process - Map stakeholders (incl. vulnerable groups, women, persons with disabilities, street vendors, informal transport, neighbourhood groups, local and national authorities). - Design and implement an inclusive, gender-responsive participation strategy (incl. at least one virtual measure); facilitate workshops, mediation as needed; document and evaluate results. - Deliverables: D2.1 Stakeholder analysis (report); D2.2 Slides; D2.3 Participation Strategy; D2.4 Facilitation materials/templates (editable); D2.5 Results report with inputs for corridor requirements; D2.6 Reference Toolkit for participatory processes (FR/EN) to enable replication. WP3 Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) Green Corridor - Identify and appraise design/traffic management alternatives; SWOT; recommend preferred alternative in consultation with CETUD and local administrations. - Produce ?15 preliminary and 10 final conceptual designs (street sections/intersections, allocation of road space, speeds, traffic regulation, green infrastructure, lighting/shading, materials, signage; capacity for all modes). - Conduct preliminary Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and cultural/heritage screening; Cost-Benefit Analysis incl. climate benefits; risk assessment (strategic/project risks); outline financing options and sources. - Prepare implementation strategy (phasing, data/engineering needs, roles/responsibilities, maintenance concept, financing structure), communication strategy (public and stakeholder messaging, best practice), investor pitch deck. - Prepare an Action Plan on Secure Bus Stops aligned with metropolitan frameworks (topic may be adjusted). - Deliverables: D3.1 Alternatives & conceptual designs; D3.2 Preliminary Impact Assessment; D3.3 CBA; D3.4 Risk Assessment; D3.5 PFS; D3.6 Pitch deck; D3.7 Implementation Strategy; D3.8 Communication Strategy; D3.9 Action Plan. WP4 Training conceptualisation and implementation - Design and deliver a 120-hour training (?3 seminars x 3 days + self-learning) on: sustainable mobility and street design, public space management and climate resilience, project development from concept to operation; integrate co-creative work on Green Corridor elements. - Train-the-trainer: coach 5 staff (CETUD/local authorities) to replicate training; refine materials after pilot. - Develop replicable materials: presentations, scripts, videos (?240 min), templates (surveys, fieldwork), instructor"s manual, implementation plan and guidance (checklists, certificate templates), evaluation tools; final training report with lessons learned. - Deliverables: D4.1 Training concept; D4.2 Training materials; D4.3 Instructor"s manual; D4.4 Implementation plan & guidance; D4.5 Training report. Governance and cooperation - Work in close coordination with CETUD, MiTTA and a Technical Committee established by CETUD; align with the RTC project context and ongoing bus station redevelopment. - Provide brief monthly status reports (2 pages) in French (activities, outputs in progress, impacts, decisions needed, expert days). - Contribute to knowledge sharing (events, publications) and support evaluation of knowledge management effectiveness. Reporting and languages - Main deliverables in French; the participation toolkit in FR/EN; raw data and media in editable, machine-readable formats as specified. Indicative duration and milestones (from contract start) - WP1: D1.1 at 1 month; D1.2-1.4 at 3 months. - WP2: D2.1-2.2 at 2 months; D2.3 at 4 months; D2.4 at 6 months; D2.5 at 10 months; D2.6 at 11 months. - WP3: Designs drafts at 3/8 months, final at 12 months; Impact/CBA/Risk drafts 6-10 months, finals at 12 months; PFS draft 9 months, final 12 months; Pitch/Implementation/Communication drafts 10 months, finals 12 months; Action Plan draft 10 months, final 12 months. - WP4: Concept draft/final 4/6 months; Materials 6/7 months; Instructor"s manual 6/8 months; Implementation plan 8/9 months; Training report 12 months.
