II.1.4)Kurze Beschreibung:

The "Strengthening the National-Regional Linkages" (SNRL) project supports the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in its efforts to promote regional integration in the member states (MS) for the benefit of the population in the SADC region. The project is aligned with SADC's regional strategy (the Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan 2020-30, RISDP) and supports its implementation. Particularly, it supports SADC and its MS on implementing Chapter 5 of the RISDP focusing on the strategic management objectives of the RISDP. By strengthening SADC as a regional organization and by supporting the implementation of the regional agenda RISDP, the SNRL project aims to facilitate the regional integration in the SADC region.

SADC was established in 1992 as a legally binding regional organization to promote economic development, peace and security, growth, poverty reduction, quality of life and social inclusion through regional integration.

The SADC Treaty envisions so-called SADC National Committees (SNC) to coordinate the implementation of the regional SADC agenda and Protocols (26 in total) at the national level. Currently, this coordination mechanism functions with limited capabilities in more than half of the MS. SADC National Contact Points (NCPs), mostly located in the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, exist in almost all MS. Both SNCs and NCPs lack the human and financial resources, capacities, and competencies to ensure intersectoral coordination between the various state institutions and the inclusion of non-state actors in SADC's policy-making processes. Similarly, regionally binding requirements of SADC are often not or only partially ratified by MS. There is no regional compliance and sanctions mechanism to monitor the legally binding SADC requirement. Potentials and positive conditions for improving the institutional and legal framework at MS level vary across MS: new governments as a result of elections in several MS (e.g., Zambia) open new potentials. Similarly, the new RISDP 2020-2030 represents an opportunity for strengthening regional integration. Another potential is the functioning, legally institutionalized best practice coordination structures (SNCs in Mauritius, Mozambique, and Zambia), which can be a model for other MS in the form of blueprints. The SADC of varying speeds (principle of variable geometry) contains both potentials and challenges: On the one hand, the different capabilities of national SADC structures and integration are a result of the different (political) motivation and prioritization of SADC in the MS, which are, however, a prerequisite for advancing regional integration. On the other hand, they reflect the different levels of explicit responsibilities, financial resources, human resources, awareness, and knowledge in the MS public sector regarding regional integration.

The fragmented and insufficient implementation of SADC's legal and institutional framework in the MS - protocols, strategies, policies, programs, coordination structures - incl. sanction and compliance mechanisms impede the progress of regional integration. Derived from this, the project objective is: Implementation of the SADC legal and strategic framework in the member states strengthens SADC regional integration.

The project is trying to reach this objective through three outputs: Output 1 aims to improve the institutional framework for regional integration of SADC in the Member States. Output 2 aims to establish monitoring and evaluation systems for implementing regional integration in selected Member States and output 3 aims to strengthen the strategic communication skills of SADC (Secretariat and Member States) for high-profile communication on all aspects of SADC activities and results.

II.2.4)Beschreibung der Beschaffung:

The contractor is responsible for the delivery of high-quality short-term expert (STE) advice in various topics relevant for enhancing the capacities of national stakeholders to vigorously and effectively pursue in their respective countries the regional integration protocols, policies and strategies of SADC. To ensure that relevant expertise for the respective regional and national contexts is available, the firm of consultants will manage and assemble a STE pool, out of which the individual experts are assigned to consultancy assignments. The individual consultancy assignments will be developed between GIZ and its partners and are based on a joint process and methodology aimed at identifying the needs in the SADC region and within individual member states. These assignments are part of the project"s methodological approach and should thus be conceptualized jointly with the SNRL project and its partners according to the guiding principles and overall project methodology. Therefore, the assignments focus on the scaling-up of best practices and should aim to share experiences and knowledge throughout the region (for example by aiming to standardize products developed as part of the assignment).

The consulting assignments can be implemented by STEs at the national or at the regional level (in multiple countries or directly in cooperation with SADC) depending on the individual assignment.

The subjects of the consultancies to be provided through the STE Pool cannot be defined with certainty beforehand as they depend on the nature of the partners" requirements and the concept of the individual assignment, to be agreed between GIZ and the partners. Thus, the STE Pool must be managed with flexibility and the firm of consultants must demonstrate its capacity and ability to mobilize highly qualified experts in a timely manner. At this stage, the following consultancy needs are envisioned:

Advice on and training in substantive issues:

- Preparation of scoping and baseline studies, analysis of progress in the implementation of SADC protocols and policies, capacity needs assessments

- Organizational diagnostics and development

- Process diagnostics and development

- Networking diagnostics and development

- Analysis of regional integration issues, protocols, and strategies

- Concepts and approaches of national-regional linkages in the context of regional integration

- Monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of SADC protocols and strategies (incl. Revised RISDP)

- Drafting of regulatory frameworks for the domestication of regional protocols and policies

- Project planning, management, M&E and reporting

- National budgetary frameworks, resource mobilization, preparation of funding requests

- Systematization and documentation of lessons learnt, standardization of products, approaches and methodologies

Advice on and training in dialogue and negotiation:

- Facilitation of group events (e.g. workshops), dialogue and negotiation processes

- Training in dialogue and moderation techniques

Advice on and training in communication and visibility (at national or regional level):

- Design and accompaniment of awareness-raising campaigns

- Design and accompaniment of advocacy, sensitization, and communication strategies

- Design and preparation of information materials on the SNRL Programme

Whereas there may be some assignments which can be implemented by an individual consultant, other assignments may necessitate a team of consultants, requiring e.g. different educational backgrounds and technical expertise.

In general, the demand for short-term technical expertise and the specific areas of support will emerge on relatively short notice. The firm of consultants should, therefore, provide a concept on how and how quickly it can mobilize technically suitable experts from the STE Pool.

Generally, once a consultant has been selected, the Programme Officer in charge will have the responsibility to orient and guide the consultant, make the necessary organizational arrangements with the partners involved and review and comment upon the consultant"s products. In case, for whatever reason, a consultancy is not progressing satisfactorily, the firm of consultants and GIZ are obliged to consult each other as a matter of urgency and to agree on mutually acceptable corrective steps. To monitor and ensure the desired quality of the service provision by each STE assignment, a responsible project manager on the side of the firm of consultants is expected to provide the necessary backstopping and quality assurance measures.

In general, the firm of consultants will be expected to provide experts from the SADC region, but in special, rare occasions other international expertise may also be required. In either case, a strong link to experts/ institutions based in the region is required and the technical proposal should clearly explain how this will be ensured. The bidders should be able to identify and draw upon additional experts/institutions when needed and should explain how this will be achieved. It is of crucial importance that bidders can demonstrate that they have access to a wide network of expertise in the fields described above and within the SADC region, and that they can activate this expertise within short timeframes.

The working language for all assignments will be English unless otherwise specified in the sub-ToRs for a specific assignment.

The firm of consultants and the STE pool are expected to support the SNRL project for the duration of its project runtime.
