The proposed activity aims to evaluate the mechanisms of demand aggregation and pre-purchase of capacity to attract private investments in fiber optic infrastructure for broadband connectivity for public institutions such as central and decentralized administration; universities; technical and professional high schools. hospitals and health centers; etc. The study; which will complete the mapping of broadband connectivity currently being carried out by ADETIC and which will be carried out in close collaboration with this institution; will draw on lessons learned from ongoing experiments in Madagascar (Digital and Energy Connectivity for Inclusion in Madagascar); Rwanda (Rwanda Digital Acceleration Project); Uganda (Uganda Digital Acceleration Project) and Ghana (E-Transform Ghana) to improve the design of the private capital mobilization (PCM) approach and adapt it to a fragile context like that of Chad. The feasibility study will make it possible; on the one hand; to estimate the investment necessary to offer broadband connectivity to Chadian public institutions selected for a given capacity request and; on the other hand; to measure the will and capacity (technical; financial and organizational) of telecommunications operators and Internet service providers to invest in fiber infrastructure as well as their commitment in terms of expansion of the broadband network; capacity offered and quality of service for the purchase of a given bandwidth. The tasks associated with this activity are as follows:(i) determination of specific locations and target number of public institutions. The list of public institutions will reflect priority sites identified in close collaboration with various institutions; as well as other ongoing projects funded by the World Bank to maximize synergies and development impacts; and will also include educational institutions higher education with the aim of connecting to a national research and education network (NREN);(ii) assessing the need to deploy a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) for government connectivity to support the digitalization efforts of institutions in urban areas and propose an approach to leverage private sector investments;(iii) estimation of expected demand for digital services (real-time services and non-real-time services);(iv) determining the investment required in digital infrastructure by the private and public sectors (e.g.; fiber optic cable; equipment; installation; testing and implementation of a solution sustainable food; deployment of new mobile sites; deployment of a local network; etc.); and;(v) estimating the amount of public funding needed to incentivize private operators to connect targeted public institutions and provide them with Internet capacity for a given period (5 to 7 years); in a sustainable; green and resilient manner. The activity will include: (i) administrative data collection; (ii) stakeholder consultation; (iii) financial analysis; (iv) analysis and display of geographically referenced information; (v) the development of business models and (vi) the organization of workshops. Administrative data will be collected from the national ICT agency (ADETIC); telecommunications operators (Airtel; Moov Africa and Sotel) and Internet service providers (ISP); supervisory ministries and documentary research. It will include information on existing and planned digital infrastructure and related investments of operators and ISPs; financial statements of operators and ISPs; geographic information on selected public institutions and their available digital equipment; etc. The collected data will be analyzed to draw maps; estimate the average cost of connecting a public institution; estimate and aggregate the expected bandwidth demand; estimate the average potential revenue and financing gap; and assess the financial capacity of operators and ISPs to invest in broadband infrastructure if given an incentive. Stakeholders will be consulted bilaterally and multilaterally; not only to collect data; but also to explain the mechanism of demand aggregation and capacity pre-purchase; and to assess stakeholder buy-in. Workshops will be organized to present the methodology at the start of the activity and to disseminate the reports at the end. The duration of the mission is 4 months; from the date of signing the service order.
