The project has three components. The first component is drilling program. This component includes the provision of works, goods and consultants' services for: (i) civil engineering preparatory works necessary for the execution of the drilling program (financed by African Development Bank (AfDB); (ii) execution of the drilling program as designed by the geothermal consulting company (jointly co-financed by Global Environment Facility (GEF), International Development Association (IDA) and OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID); (iii) steel material needed during the execution of the drilling program; (financed by French Development Agency (AFD); and (iv) for the inspection and testing of reservoir flow rates (financed by Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). The second component is technical assistance for the drilling program. This component comprises the provision of goods and consultants' services to: (i) design the drilling program and well test protocol; (ii) execute the well test protocol and ensure third party certification of the results of the drilling program; and (iii) preparation of a technical feasibility study for the geothermal power plant provided that the geothermal resource is suitable for power generation. The third component is project management. This component involves the provision of goods, consultants' services, including audit and training, and operational costs for the purposes of project management and implementation, including monitoring and evaluation.
