About Bridges to Prosperity (B2P)

Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) envisions a world where poverty caused by rural isolation no longer exists. We work with local communities, governments, and partners to design, build, and maintain rural transport infrastructure that connect people to education, healthcare, and markets. Our evidence-based approach demonstrates that safe, reliable access unlocks opportunity and drives economic and social development in rural areas.

To expand our impact and strengthen our technical capacity, B2P is establishing a Consultant Roster of qualified professionals across multiple disciplines related to rural access planning, transport infrastructure design and construction, and related sub-sectors. Inclusion in the roster does not guarantee an assignment but ensures that pre-qualified consultants may be rapidly engaged when relevant opportunities arise.

Objective of the Roster

The B2P Consultant Roster serves as a database of pre-screened experts who may be considered for consultancy assignments supporting B2P’s rural transport access projects and programs globally. Consultants may be engaged on short-term or intermittent contracts depending on project needs, subject to funding availability, client approvals, and consultant qualifications.

Areas of expertise that B2P is seeking for our Consultant Roster include, but are not limited to:

• Rural access and mobility planning
• Bridge and rural transport infrastructure design
• Construction supervision and quality assurance
• Hydrology, geotechnical, and structural engineering
• Environmental and social impact assessments for transport sector programs
• Sustainability, environmental, and social safeguards for transport sector programs
