The Government of the Republic of Angola has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Huila-Cunene Interconnection Project (PIHC - P512716) and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.

The consulting services (“the Services”) include providing leadership, coordination, and oversight for all social safeguard aspects of the PIHC, ensuring full compliance with the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF). The assignment has an initial duration of 12 months, with an expected start date of April 2026. The work regime requires 80% of the time in the field (Huila and Cunene Provinces, based at the Huila field office) and 20% at the PIU headquarters in Luanda.  

The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) conducted by RNT-EP as implementing agency, now invites eligible individuals (“Consultants”) 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 (attach curriculum vitae with description of experience in similar assignments, similar conditions, etc.).
