Consultancy Assignment: Exposure visit facilitation and mana...

As part of the strategic development of the agro-insurance system and the capacity building of related stakeholders, Oxfam is planning to conduct an exposure visit to Spain. The project’s technical committee recognized it as a country with extensive experience in risk management in agriculture, particularly through insurance. The expertise and knowledge acquired by the dedicated staff at Spanish institutes and cooperatives serve as important reference points for the operational steps and market development of agricultural insurance in Palestine.

Oxfam seeks to contract a service provider to coordinate and facilitate this exposure visit to Spain for staff from relevant stakeholders, including PADRRIF, PCMA, Farmer’s Representatives, Insurance Industry Representatives, and Oxfam’s staff. This service provider will help in:

Preparatory Phase:

Coordinate with Spanish institutes and cooperatives (such as the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, ENESA, Agroseguro, insurance, reinsurance companies, and related agricultural cooperatives) to schedule meetings, presentations, and site visits. Such meetings and visits can be done in more than one location/Spanish district. Thus, internal transportation and time schedules should consider such diversity in those locations.

Provide necessary pre-departure information and guidance to the participants regarding the visit.

Exposure Visit:

Facilitate the travel arrangements for the participants from inside Spain. Another travel agency will be responsible for booking the hotels and tickets in Spain.

Arrange meetings, field visits(optional), and interactions with relevant experts, officials, and staff members at Spanish institutes and cooperatives (mentioned above)

Organize workshops to familiarize the participants with Spain's agricultural insurance system, best practices, market development strategies, and operationalization steps through one or more Spanish institutes (mentioned above).

Facilitate visits to agricultural sites, farms, and insurance service centres to observe and learn from practical examples; as part of the meetings mentioned in point 5 above.

Provide a professional translator fluent in both Spanish and Arabic to ensure effective communication and comprehension between the participants and Spanish-speaking counterparts.
