Proposals are hereby invited for the following: Consultancy firm to undertake a capacity assessment of the UNDP South Africa Country Office. The objectives of the consultancy are to: - Review the UNDP South Africa business model (i.e. CO structure, systems and processes of running programmes and operations, funding modalities and sources, partnerships and engagement approaches with partners and programmatic interventions) and assess its relevance and suitability to implement the current CPD and develop/implement the next country CPD; - Undertake a capacity gap assessment of the UNDP South Africa Country Office and propose strategic capacity development responses based on the UNDP Capacity Assessment Framework; - Develop a comprehensive capacity development strategy which can enable the CO to advance and accelerate the implementation of its CPD for the next three-five years. Scope of the Work: The consultancy service will be based in Pretoria and aims to conduct capacity gap assessment of the country office to plan, implement, monitor and deliver its CPD. In addition, the consultancy work is expected to develop a response strategy for the identified gaps but following a consultative and comprehensive approach. This is expected to be guided by UNDP’s capacity assessment framework. The methodology to be applied would involve the three levels of capacity development (individual, organizational and institutional) at the various levels of the country office’s operations at national level and would be expected to provide capacity development plans that address these three levels. The exercise should move away from the traditional capacity building approach: it needs to be purpose-oriented and make reference to international practices, standards and norms when it comes to the functions of the South Africa Country Office. The consultant is also expected to prepare a strategy document relevant to the context that addresses: - Development planning, management and governance, how to achieve institutional goals; - Policy implementation gaps, advocacy strategies; - Approach to innovation; - Medium to long term priorities; - Design to generate solution at scale; - Strategy for achieving results; - An integrated approach to programming, thematically and geographically. Country: South Africa. Please confirm the contract number as two were published. Please confirm the closing time as two were published. (Ausschreibung №105621215de)
