The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations with more than 190 member countries. Since its inception, FAO has worked to improve nutrition, increase agricultural productivity, raise the standard of living in rural populations and contribute to global economic growth. Achieving food security for all is at the heart of FAO's efforts – to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. To achieve its goals, FAO cooperates with thousands of partners worldwide, from farmers’ groups to traders, from non-governmental organizations to other UN agencies, from development banks to agribusiness firms (further and more detailed information on FAO can be found on the internet site: http://www.fao.org). As part of a joint effort with the Government of Ghana, FAO Ghana (FAOGH) is implementing the project titled Strengthening Inter-Regional Cooperation for Sustainable Management of Fall Armyworm through South-South Cooperation. In line with this initiative, FAO Ghana will support the refurbishment of an existing Biocontrol Laboratory at the Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Directorate (PPRSD) to enhance the project’s outcomes. In this context, FAO seeks to engage qualified service providers to carry out the required refurbishment works. Please refer to the attached invitation to bid (ITB) document for detailed Information
