Consultancy: Promoting standards for SME competitiveness in Nigeria

Reference: PX/NGA/0453
Location: Nigeria
Duration: 75 person days
Closing Date: 3 May 2011

A. Background

The Commonwealth Secretariat through the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Cooperation is providing technical assistance to the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to promote the use of Standards by Nigerian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as a strategic business tool.

B. Programme Objective

For background purposes we advise that the Commonwealth Secretariat Strategic Plan be consulted. The Plan is available online and the SME work is part of the Economic Development Programme (Programme 6). This Programme will assist member states to take advantage of opportunities for economic growth and improve their ability to manage economic development in an equitable and sustainable manner. It specifically aims to strengthen policies and systems that support inclusive and sustainable economic growth in member states. This will allow Member states to attract capital flows and manage increased levels of investment, including for private sector development; and create the environment for Member countries to promote viable competitive enterprises that generate employment, income and reduce poverty.

The Secretariat’s capacity to provide cost-effective technical assistance and its role as a ’trusted partner’ and ‘honest broker’ in delivering policy analysis and advice are highly valued. Indicators particularly relevant to this project include (1) the quality of policy advice and support for creating an enabling environment for growth and stability; (2) higher survival rates of MSMEs and an increase in the contribution of MSME businesses to GDP; and (3) increased numbers of successful women in enterprise and greater and more equitable market access for women producers and entrepreneurs.

C. Project Information

SON is the sole statutory body vested with the responsibility of standardising and regulating the quality of all products in Nigeria. The Act establishing the body was amended in 1976, 1984 and in 1990. SON has an SME Unit through which it aims to influence the adoption and use of appropriate standards by SMEs. It has a working relationship with a range of business support organisations, including formal state agencies, business representative organisations and NGOs. This intervention will allow SON and its partners to construct a strategy to accomplish this; and put in place the first major programmes of a dedicated SME action plan. It is anticipated that these pilot programmes will be sustained by SON and its partners once the project activities are completed.

This project will attempt to deliver a general education component to convey an awareness of the benefits of standards; and an action component to support SMEs to find and obtain appropriate standards and take the first steps to implementing it. SON has indicated that has the ability to assess SMEs and issue certification for ISO management standards.

It is important to understand that the measure of success for this project is not how many SMEs take up standards, but how SON and its partners build the systems and capabilities for sustained support for projects and programmes to help SMEs on the standards and quality journey throughout their existence. Specifically, the outputs for this project are:

  • Strategy for SON and partners to enhance SME success through the adoption and use of standards,
  • Communications Strategy to raise awareness of the benefits of standards as a strategic business tool, and
  • Trained SMEs able to adopt standards through participating in SON accredited 1-day introductory training courses for ISO 9001 and ISO 22000.

Additional Information

Information available to the successful Consultant will include internal project files containing the Project Appraisal, Logical Framework and Budgets. The Consultant will also work closely with the Adviser responsible for the project.

D. Consultancy

Technical Assistance is being provided to SON to develop a strategy for a national SME Standards Programme; build their capability to deliver a long term awareness campaign; and implement the first stage of a SME standards programme. Specific issues which need to be factored into the assignment and which are elements of the overall deliverables are noted below.

  • An inception mission report should be provided not later than 3 weeks after mobilisation. Issues to be addressed include, (1) timetable for implementation of project activities and the endorsement and validation activities to be undertaken; (2) coherence strategy which will report on steps to ensure that the strategy is coherent and aligned to other related policy and strategy actions, and (3) Draft outline structure for the strategy, highlighting some of the key issues and questions to be addressed.
  • In developing the strategy, the consultants need to review the current activities of SON and selected partners, identify success cases for replication, identify major barriers preventing uptake of standards and generate a range of options for consideration. The review is likely to include SON actions in Lagos, Kaduna and Aba.
  • Ensure that SON has the required competencies to assess and certify SMEs in ISO management standards.
  • Provide support to the ComSec Adviser for hosting the Strategy Workshop with SON and partners; and conduct the SME Awareness Workshops and 1-Day Introductory Courses. The project plan calls for the Consultant to be involve in five 1-day events (strategy workshop, 2 SME awareness workshops and 2 ISO training workshops).
  • Consult with SMEs through their relevant business Associations to ensure that their views are accommodated and acted on.
  • Consult with Women’s Empowerment Groups and Institutions to ensure that gender issues are adequately dealt with and specific challenges of woman owned enterprises are incorporated in all outputs.

Deliverables

  • SMEs and Standards in Nigeria: Strategy and Action Plan for SON and partners
  • Guidelines, and where relevant, Training Course Materials for (a) SME Awareness Training Workshops and (b) 1-Day ISO Introductory Courses for ISO 9001 and 22000
  • Report on the SME Awareness Workshops and 1-Day ISO Introductory Courses
  • Final Project Report

E. Qualifications for Consultancy

The Commonwealth Secretariat is inviting bids from companies, consortia and/or Standards Organisations who are registered in a Commonwealth Member Country. The Statement of Capability should indicate the institutions experience in supporting businesses to adopt and use Standards. This is a non-negotiable condition of this assignment.

The evaluation criteria are based on the following:

  • Formal evidence of capability to consult on Standards,
  • Evidence of developing strategies for the adoption and use of Standards, preferably, but not essentially, for SMEs,
  • Ability to advise businesses on the ISO system, specifically ISO 9001 and 22000, and
  • Demonstrated evidence of developing and delivering Standards training courses.

The Company may wish to engage the services of a Local Consultant but would be entirely responsible for the identification, recruitment and remuneration of such Local Consultant(s), although the selection would need to be cleared beforehand by ComSec.

F. Level of Effort, Reporting and Payment Terms

  • The Level of Effort (LOE) of this consultancy is estimated at 75 person days (15 weeks), commencing June 2011 to March 2012[1].
  • Up to 49 days of this LoE is estimated to be in Nigeria.
  • The indicative all inclusive fee for this assignment is £41,000[2], while consultancy related expenditure, such as workshops and training expenses, will be provided by ComSec.

G. Proposal

The proposal should comprise of the following:

  • A Statement of Capability,
  • Resumes of the key staff allocated to the project,
  • A document detailing the methodology, work programme and milestones (this will be finalised with the Commonwealth Secretariat prior to commencement)
  • A financial plan for the execution of the project.

Technical Adviser (Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Financial Crimes), Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)

Reference: G/NIG/010
Location: Abuja, Nigeria
Duration: 2 Years
Closing Date: 4 Apr 2011

Closing date for applications extended from 11 February to 4 Aprill 2011

Background

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, through the Government of Nigeria, made a request for technical assistance in November 2009 to build the capacity of its Training and Research Institute in order to strengthen the ability of EFCC staff to deal with anti-money laundering institutions to combat corruption and anti-money laundering.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was established pursuant to an Act of the National Assembly by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 2002 as part of its Strategy to combat corruption, advance fee fraud, contract scams, money laundering and other forms of economic crimes that impact negatively on the economy and the polity. The Act mandates the EFCC to combat financial and economic crimes. The Commission is empowered to prevent, investigate, prosecute and penalise economic and financial crimes and is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of other laws and regulations relating to economic and financial crimes. In addition, the EFCC will be the key agency of government responsible for combating financing of terrorism.

The EFCC faces very challenging problems. It has to deal with increasing crime in the areas of cyber fraud, money laundering, white-collar crimes, data collection as well as terrorism financing and asset tracing. However, both the EFCC and TRI lack the requisite level of expertise to build the institutional capacity of the EFCC to deal with these challenges.

This project follows a similar CFTC funded assistance provided to the EFCC which ended in September 2009 after a period of two years. CFTC provided an expert to TRI to assist in the establishment and running of training programmes

Purpose of the project

To enhance the capacity of the TRI to provide international standard training services to the EFCC and other similar organisations in the region with particular regard to the investigation and prosecution of economic and financial crimes

Duties and Responsibilities

This project will be for a period of two years. It will therefore provide the EFCC/TRI with a combination of a long term expert and an effective collaboration with an internationally renowned anti-corruption institution/academy.

During the implementation period it is expected that the expert will undertake the following activities, inter alia;

  • Design, develop and implement international standard training programmes in the prevention, detection and the prosecution of economic and financial crimes for appropriate staff of EFCC and other relevant agencies in Nigeria and the West Africa region. Such programmes should cover areas within EFCC’s statutory mandate.
  • Develop the training skills and techniques of the resident TRI trainers particularly with regard to the delivery of programmes.
  • Prepare and roll out training manuals cover areas within EFCC’s statutory mandate taking cognizance of the most current developments and trends.
  • Provide support to EFCC to develop and improve its research capabilities.

In order to ensure long term sustainability and to encourage continuous updating of knowledge and skills in this sector, it is also proposed that the expert undertakes to identify, in collaboration with TRI and EFCC, a suitable Commonwealth agency with which to develop a twinning relationship. Over time, this relationship may involve the exchange of knowledge, ideas, good practice, lessons learned, and, where appropriate, staff.

Project Phase Outputs (Deliverables)

  • EFCC staff trained in investigation and prosecution skills
  • Resident TRI Trainers trained to design and implement programmes independently
  • Training and working manuals developed and rolled out
  • Twinning relationship established with suitable Commonwealth anti-corruption training institution

Transfer of Expertise

The Commonwealth Secretariat attaches particular importance to the transfer of expertise and knowledge to counterparts. The expert will mentor key staff or counterparts in their required area of work as agreed by the Executive Director. The Manuals already prepared will be consolidated and put into use, new and uncompleted manuals will be completed. Training will be provided to the staff members to be able to use, maintain and revise the manuals when required. Key staff or counterparts and the other trained officials will be able to continue, maintain and sustain the project outcomes to reflect the developmental objectives of the stakeholders.

The project will provide an expert for a period of two years. The expert will also have key staff in different sectors of the EFCC to mentor and train to carry out specific functions. Training and procedural manuals will also be designed and rolled out for use by the Trainers in TRI and the staff in EFCC.

Implementation Arrangements

The expert will be based in the TRI. Line management responsibilities and project day-to-day coordination will lie with the Executive Director. The Project Manager in London will manage the project in collaboration with the Thematic Adviser in GIDD and review the project based on communication with the expert, stakeholders and the Executive Director.

The expert will submit an inception report within two months of taking up the post. This report will be a needs assessment and the relevance of the terms of reference as well as stakeholder analysis. There will be subsequent bi-annual reports which would include work plan including specific targets. There will be a midterm review and evaluation. The Project Manager or/and Thematic Adviser will undertake a field visit and end of project evaluation.

The expert will work closely with Commonwealth Secretariat Advisers in delivering this technical assistance. The expert will be based at EFCC Training Institute in Abuja, Nigeria for a period of two years and will report to the Executive Director of the Training Institute.

With 14 organisations working across 98 countries, Oxfam fights to end poverty on a global scale. To do that well we need to work together. And leading one of our teams in Nigeria, you'll make sure we do.


The role
Our work in Nigeria focuses on agriculture, food security and gender equality. And with a recent food crisis, it's absolutely crucial that we maintain a cohesive, integrated approach across our teams in the region. That's why in this strategic role, we'll expect you to help roll out our new Single Management System (SMS). It means that although you'll be leading Oxfam GB programme staff, you'll be playing a supporting role to our Dutch team. So while you'll still have a big say in our overall strategy, they'll be calling the shots. Taking charge of operational and people management, it'll be down to you to mobilise your team and deliver our part of the plan. But as well as managing the smooth changeover to SMS, you'll support the analysis of our work in-country - something that will have a huge impact on your role. And on top of that, you'll carry out high-level tasks like engaging the private sector, building relationships with key political figures and managing those vital donor contracts.

What we're looking for
The importance of this role cannot be understated. And to do it successfully, you'll need to be a driven development leader used to working in an International Non Governmental Organisation (INGO) environment. So you'll know all about managing donor and partner relationships, and be confident overseeing complex budgets. More than that, you'll have an understanding of security, risk and Health & Safety and be able to think politically and strategically in challenging situations. And as well as being analytical, flexible and fluent in English, you'll also have experience of both fundraising and developing staff.

About Oxfam
A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There's enough wealth in this world to go around. It's not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It's unjustifiable. It's not just their problem. It's ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we're looking for yours.
