AATF is seeking the services of an individual or firm to provide the services of hydrological survey and drilling of a borehole in Fasola, Oyo state Nigeria. AATF is a not-for-profit organisation with a mission of making available, to smallholder farmers, agricultural technologies that were previously not accessible to them.
These efforts, combined with optimal agricultural practices and product value addition, will contribute to agricultural transformation in Africa leading food security and poverty reduction in sub—Saharan Africa.
This initiative presents a novel model that seeks to utilize digital tools to enhance access to mechanization services and improved agronomy, then establish a centralized cassava processing facility that will be accessible to village-based processors who would otherwise not be able to afford modern cassava processing equipment.
Accessing this service will enable them to diversify their products, hence creating more value for the tubers. The plant will require adequate supply of good quality water at different stages of the processing.
The Contract to be established is for the drilling, construction, and development of one borehole in Fasola, Oyo State Nigeria. Additionally, a pumping test step-drawdown and constant-rate pumping test is to be carried out and analyzed to determine the safe yield together with water quality analyses together with geophysical logging.
