1 CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT 1. BACKGROUND Organizational Context: The National Federal Parliament (NFP) was inaugurated in August 2012, with the selection (by traditional elders and a vetting panel) of 275 new Members of Parliament. The NFP currently consists of a single House of the People, though the Provisional Constitution envisages the eventual establishment of an Upper House which will be comprised of Federal Member State representatives (once the states are legally created). The NFP executes its powers based on Article 55 of the 2012 Provisional Constitution. Headed by the Secretary General (SG), the Secretariat of the Parliament is the administrative arm of the House and is responsible for managing house procedures and day-to-day operations, including recordkeeping, public relations, staffing and finance. The Secretariat staff also support the House and its committees to legislate, perform oversight functions and serve constituents. Expected Outcome: The expected outcome of this assignment is to capacitate the NFP to operate as inclusive, transparent and effective law-making, oversight and representative body contributing to national peacebuilding and nation-building goals. Output 2 of NFP s 2015 annual workplan and Objective 3 of the current Parliament Strategic Plan calls for strengthening NFP to be an effective institution, with a functioning administration and infrastructure and leadership supported to discharge their constitutional mandates to fairly, inclusively and transparently manage the business of Parliament and lead the Parliamentary Administration. ABRIMO Assessment: A UNDP-sponsored micro capacity assessment was conducted by ABRIMO Company in 2014 to assess the institutional capacity of NFP to manage funds in accordance with the Harmonized Approach for Cash Transfer (HACT) framework and guidelines. The assessment identified a number of deficiencies in the areas of staffing, financial controls, procurement, reporting and information systems. The NFP seeks a qualified local consulting firm who will be responsible for providing technical assistance in order to implement improvement activities and organizational changes, procedures and 1
2 regulations as well as staff capacity development (training) that will eliminate and address administrative short-comings stated in the ABRIMO capacity assessment. This firm will be working in close cooperation with a national expert directly contracted by the UNDP Parliamentary Support Project. 2.
