Call for proposals Export Value Chain Analysis for the Bolivian wine sector.

The Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries (CBI) has decided to further research the possibilities for support in the wine sector in Bolivia. For some years, CBI has been conducting several successful export coaching programmes (ECP) and Business Support Organisation Development Programmes (BSOD) in Bolivia. Among others, CBI has been active in the Bolivian wine sector. This sector is being regarded as high potential and recent initiatives within this sector (strategic conference, trial introduction on an Amsterdam Wine Fair) lead to a positive sentiment towards opportunities for export development and the trickle-down effect of this sector in Bolivia. This is why CBI has chosen to take the next step in its programme design phase, by designing a Terms of Reference for a Value Chain Analysis (VCA) for the wine sector in Bolivia.

Deadline to send in the proposed Plan of Action: 25 May 2012, 15:00 hours.

Plan of actions can be submitted to Mr Renee Boelaars (rboelaars@cbi.eu), Regional Coordinator Latin America, and Ms Daphne ter Braak (dbraak@cbi.eu), Junior Programme Manager Latin America.
