This proposal is based on the requirements specified in the Terms of Reference.
What sets us apart
The team we have assembled has the relevant depth and breadth of experience to be able to
deliver such an innovative solution and to be able to generate, model and implement ideas around
the preliminary assessments to African Development Bank (Afdb)such as feasibility studies, resource
mobilization, financial analysis and development planning to achieve the appropriate level of
objectives and deliver within the stipulated time frames.
Our proposed team members have been involved in various levels of municipality, district and
provincial and national economic and financial consultancy for public and private sectors locally
and internationally.
Introducing the Company
Goodson Capital Partners is a privately owned and pan-african private and public sector
advisory firm, with footprint across Africa specialising in Capital Structuring, Finacial
Modelling, Cost and Budget Control, Impact Assessments, Investment Strategy Development
Planning, Financial and Economic Advisory and Planning, Risk Analysis, Local Economic

Studies, PPP Assessment and Development, Project Management, Change Management,
Capitation Programmes, Asset Investment Programmes and Strategic Development.
The Goodson founding directors have been strong supporters of the development of Africa, and
have interest in economic development and transformation in South Africa and Africa at large ,and
has assisted entities such as National government entities, Provincial, District and Local
Municipalities in structuring their capital expenditure, financial planning and structuring, strategic
planning, cost and budget control, project study, implementation and management and alternative
energy production mechanisms. Using this same methodology, these directors set out to establish a
truly empowered business in the consulting and advisory environment.
2.4. Introducing the Team
Our philosophy is based on the fact that there are proven skills and talent in Historically
Disadvantaged Individuals in Africa that can be developed and enhanced. Goodson Capital Partners
is that entity specifically established to allow such skilled and talented individuals access to a
market previously dominated by a few large corporate consulting firms. This is all done under the
guidance and mentorship of the core team members of Goodson Capital Partners who are already
recognized experts in the areas of financial assessments and planning, dividend policy, strategic
planning, feasibility studies, economic assessments, project management, and alternative service
delivery mechanisms incorporating long term suitability and sustainability.
At the heart of our approach is a team of skilled professionals whom we engage on project by
project basis and specialize in financial planning and structuring, investment and economic
development planning, project management, infrastructure development and specialists in PPP
assessment & development, risk identification & strategy, financial evaluation and sustainability
assessment and service delivery option analysis. This team has many years of experience on
projects spanning a wide range of market sectors and disciplines. The team is highly skilled in
assessment advisory capability and are conversant in the structuring and delivery of successful
projects in all sectors. The dedicated core team of individuals contains specialists in all sectors
that this project requires as stipulated in the ToR allowing Goodson Capital Partners to offer a
holistic and all encompassing result.
The Goodson professional team is not a “team strung together for a specific project”. The core
team members have worked together successfully on various projects. We have chosen to enhance
the goodwill of this working relationship into a separate entity, that over time, will develop its own
brand and goodwill.
2.4.1 Project Team

To ensure seamless end-to-end service in a complete solution we have assembled a team of
specialists to address all requirements related to the project. We are confident of our ability to
deliver on, if not greatly exceed, the expectations of your department.
Our team of professionals have the necessary skills, ability, background, capacity and relevant
experience to successfully manage every aspect of the envisaged project from initial investigation,
through to the successful conclusion and delivery to the relevant African Development Bank (Afdb).
This team have in-depth knowledge in energy, Finance, telecommunications, transportation,

2.4.2 Project Team & Reporting Structure
PROPOSAL FOR
CONSULTANCY SERVICES
(FIRM) FOR FLOATING
GOODSON CAPITAL AFDB SOLAR PROJECT AT THE
PARTNERS KARIBA DAM
The consultancy team members will be working in a two way coordinating system with
continuous liaison with the respective authorities within the Entity, African Development
Bank (Afdb) and other stakeholders including but not limited to the listed entities in the RFP .
A weekly evaluation meetings is therefore proposed with the African Development Bank
(Afdb) for the first 2 months, and a monthly update meeting thereafter.
We would recommend that the African Development Bank (Afdb) should form an internal
project steering committee (specifically for this project) to coordinate and liaise with the
appointed project consultants on a bi-weekly basis. In that case, the consultants will share
challenges which might require Afdb's prompt intervention. African Development Bank (Afdb)
will also be informed on the progress efficiently and will ensure the objective of the project
is followed throughout the implementation process.
In addition, this will provide a quicker solution to any possible problems encountered in the
process, as well as a direct participation of the client.
We shall provide monthly progress reports over and above the bi weekly progress and
evaluation meetings.
