Recrutement cabinet chargé de l'élaboration des Plans de lotissement

The UNDP in Mali is seeking a consultancy firm to develop urban planning zoning schemes for the country. This role is part of a larger urban development initiative under the UNDP-Mali program. The position focuses on technical expertise in land-use planning, zoning regulations, and urban policy formulation, with a strong emphasis on sustainable urbanization and inclusive development in Mali’s growing cities.⁠​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌⁠

What it offers

This is a consultancy contract for a short-term expert to assist UNDP in drafting detailed zoning plans for residential, commercial, and infrastructure development. The consultant will provide technical advice, conduct field assessments, and prepare policy recommendations aligned with UNDP’s urban development goals. The role is location-flexible (remote or on-site in Mali), with a focus on technical deliverables rather than direct fieldwork supervision.

Who can apply

Applicants must be a registered, independent consultancy firm with proven experience in:

• Urban planning and zoning regulations
• Land-use policy formulation
• Sustainable urban development projects

The firm must have relevant case studies in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in urbanization challenges. Mali-specific knowledge is a plus. Firms must be financially stable, capable of delivering within the specified timeline, and compliant with UNDP’s procurement standards. No nationality restrictions are stated, but the role is open to international firms with local partnerships in Mali.

How to apply

Applications must include:

1. A detailed proposal outlining the firm’s expertise, methodology, and past projects related to urban planning in Africa.
2. A budget breakdown for the consultancy services.
3. References from past clients or UNDP projects.
4. A short CV of key team members (if applicable).

Submissions must be sent to UNDP-MLI-00580@undp.org by 16 November 2026. No late applications will be considered.

Good to know

• The consultancy is fixed-term, with a duration of 6–12 months, depending on project milestones.
• The firm will be paid via UNDP’s standard contract terms, with payments contingent on deliverables completed. No stipend or relocation support is mentioned.
• Confidentiality is required due to the sensitive nature of urban planning policies in Mali.
• The role is not open to national consultants unless they have a pre-existing partnership with UNDP in Mali.
