I. Background

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has agreed with the partner countries of the G5 Sahel, represented by the Executive Secretariat of the G5 Sahel (SE G5), to create a regional facility, dedicated to promoting peace, conflict prevention and development — called the ‘G5 Sahel Facility’ (the Facility). In order to attain this objective, multisectoral projects will be financed in areas prioritised for the response to the crisis in the Sahel. The G5 Sahel Facility was initiated in 2020 and will be officially set up in 2021 by the KfW Development Bank on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in cooperation with the SE G5. The Facility will be set up as an independent vehicle with its own legal personality – the legal status chosen is that of a German civil law foundation (rechtsfähige Stiftung, ‘the Foundation’). The Foundation will have its seat in Frankfurt and can act in the sense of a trust fund. The G5 Sahel Facility seeks to respond to the need to rapidly improve the living conditions of the populations of the Sahel through rapid-impact multi-sectoral operations, particularly in the areas most affected by security problems, in a preventive or recovery/stabilisation approach, depending on the characterisation of the areas. Thus, the overall objective of the facility is to contribute to the promotion of peace, conflict prevention and development in selected regions of the G5 Sahel countries. The Sahel Facility currently has an overall funding volume of EUR 50 million for a 10-year period, funded by BMZ. However, the G5 Sahel Facility is created under the premises to raise more funds for the region from German and other national and international donors.

II. Objective

The services of a monitoring consultant are requested for setting up an overall monitoring and evaluation framework for the G5 Sahel Facility program and support the Foundation in monitoring the progress of individual (sub)projects funded under the program. The consultant will be contracted by the G5 Sahel Facility and will directly report to the G5 Sahel Facility management. The requested consultant services have a strong focus on monitoring, therefore the consultant is called ‘Monitoring Consultant’. However, there are other parts of the assignment, where the consultant supports the Foundation in strategic analysis and other preparatory issues that reach beyond the task of monitoring, e.g. the selection of project regions. For some type of implementation partners (AGETIPS), the scope of services may even expand into typical implementation consultant tasks. Yet, in general, the Monitoring Consultant is not an implementation consultant.

III. Scope

The monitoring consultant’s tasks comprise:

— setting up a remote monitoring framework/management information system (RMIS);

— general progress monitoring and reporting;

— regional scoping missions and needs analysis;

— assessment of implementing partners;

— procurement monitoring;

— financial monitoring;

— technical on-site monitoring;

— support the assessment of project proposals (optional);

— implementation consultant services for ‘block 3’ projects (optional).

IV. Location

Due to the RMMV approach, the monitoring consultant is in principle independent of location, when it comes to headquarters and international staff. However, there should be a regional office as a regional base in the G5 region. For logistical reasons it is proposed to have this regional base in Bamako/Mali. However, the consultant may also propose another location that seems more convenient for him. The regional base shall have a permanent logistical and secretarial support structure. For international staff, a permanent presence in the region is not necessary. Independent of the regional base, in each country there must be a local team able to do regular visits in the project areas. Local teams to be set up flexibly at the place and scope of regional expansion of the instrument, very much dependent on portfolio development over the years. It is up to the consultant whether to work with own local staff or to subcontract with a national consulting company.

V. Duration

The duration of the monitoring consulting services will be 5 years with an option to be extended for another 5 years. The consulting services will start in the first year of the G5 Sahel Facility program, which is 2021.

VI. Value

There is a budget limit of EUR 2.2 million (net).
