81272400_Pool of short-term experts: anti-corruption, prevention of corruption and external control
Côte d"Ivoire"s annual growth rate has been above 8% in recent years (2014-2018), with a forecasted growth rate of 7 % annually for 2018-2023. Private investment amounts to 13.7% of gross domestic product (GDP) (2018). This investment ratio however is a few percentage points lower than Ghana or Uganda, and well below the up to 25% of other emerging emerging economies. According to the World Bank"s Doing Business Index, Côte d'Ivoire is one of the most dynamic reformers, especially in the area of business registration. The country has moved up 55 places since 2013 and is currently (2019) ranked 110 out of 190 countries surveyed.
Despite general positive developments in recent years, governance deficiencies within the Ivorian government and administration persist, deterring international investors and limiting growth opportunities for national companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). Foreign direct investment accounts for only 1.5-2 % of GDP. According to the 2019 Africa edition of the Global Corruption Barometer, 58% of Ivorians believe their government is doing an inadequate job in fighting corruption. The participation of SMEs in the Ivorian economy is not satisfactory and the informal sector is still too large for the desired transformation to an emerging economy. Entrepreneurs are discouraged by legal uncertainties and unfair competition. External control of the allocation of public funds does not yet meet international standards. Côte d'Ivoire's public administration is therefore still characterised by deficits in terms of integrity, accountability and competitive orientation and especially the delivery of services offered by the administration to maintain fair competition on the market and in public tenders is still too weak.
To address these challenges, GIZ is implementing the project "Good Governance for increasing Investment and Employment in Côte d'Ivoire" from 07/2020 to 06/2024, providing technical assistance through technical, process and organisational advice. The project"s activities are centred around 4 outputs with the following output objectives: 1) Detection of corruption and economic crime is improved, 2) Capacities of civil society, state and private actors to implement corruption prevention measures are strengthened, 3) The delivery of services of relevant administrative structures promoting fair competition and procurement is improved, 4) The capacities of the Ivorian Court of Auditor"s are strengthened.
The activities of the project focus on the economic centre of Abidjan but could expand to other regions on a pilot basis.

The contract shall be awarded for the provision and management of a pool of short-term experts to cover various issues relating to strengthening the technical capacities of the Ivorian public administration in the field of good governance.
The envisaged contract period is from October 2021 to March 2024. The non-binding estimated contract value amounts up to EUR 500,000
The services to be provided under the contract include measures for human capacity development as well as organisational and strategy advice in the following thematic areas:
- Strengthening the supply of anticorruption, integrity and the fight against Illicit Financial Flows through capacity development of the state authorities responsible for the prevention and detection of corruption and Illicit Financial Flows,
- Strengthening the demand for anticorruption and integrity through increased capacities of civil society, governmental and private actors,
- External financial control by the Ivorian court of auditors (control and accountability of public spending and procurement)
The project"s political partner is the Ministry of Economy and Finance (Ministère de l'Economie et des Finances, MEF), the direct beneficiaries (note: not exclusive, additional addressees might be also identified and considered during the operationalization of the project) of the services of this assignment are the the Anti-Corruption Agency (Haute Autorité pour la Bonne Gouvernance), the Court of Auditors (Cours des Comptes), the Financial Intelligence Unit (CENTIF: Cellule Nationale de Traitement des Informations Financières), as well as other corresponding administrative structures in CIV.
The project components are geared to strengthen the integrity, accountability and competitive orientation of public administration in CIV. The project"s sucess will not be measured primarily in terms of the provision of individual activities but rather on whether the desired impacts are achieved, captured through the outcome- and output-indicators cited below. This strong focus on results as well as the fact that it is a new project will require a significant amount of flexibility and adaptability when it comes to designing the overall intervention and consequently the deployment of the short-term experts. This means that, although the envisioned outputs for the contractor can be assigned to thematic areas and objectives with the description of exemplary tasks, they cannot be defined in detail at this point.
This tender is about the identification and management of a pool of short-term experts (STE) that will support achieving the results in the project"s areas of intervention. The contractor will oversee the selection and deployment of the pool of experts. The contractor assumes responsibility for providing the services through short term national/regional/international experts.
