The Government of Kenya, the Client, with support from the World Bank, AFD, and Sida, has initiated a 5-year Kenya Municipal Programme (KMP). The overall objective of the KMP is to strengthen local governance and improve urban service delivery.
The KMP is being implemented in 15 urban municipalities by the Ministry of Local Government (MoLG), through four components:
1. Institutional restructuring and empowering local governments;
2. Participatory strategic planning for urban development;
3. Investment in infrastructure and service delivery; and
4. Programme management, monitoring and evaluation.
The objective of the assignment is to support the MoLG in strengthening its capacities to support the municipalities in the implementation of the KMP, and to play its role as regulator and facilitator of local authorities.

The general objective of the programme of which this contract is a part is:
To contribute to the implementation of the National Statistical Development Strategy (NSDS) in order to provide the reliable statistical data necessary to formulate, monitor and evaluate the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

The objective of the services is to assist the Municipal Council of Kisumu in managing and implementing the Kisumu Urban Project. The project should contribute to the Ministry of Local Government’s development objective: to have viable, autonomous, accountable and responsive local authorities.
The main focus of the capacity building services is on strengthening the financial management, strategic planning and contract management of the Municipal Council of Kisumu.

This project is part of the implementation of the National Statistical Development Strategy and is intended to support the Beninese government in monitoring the implementation of the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy 3 (GPRS) and its development policies.
The assignment’s objective is to support the establishment of metadata in Benin, i.e. the body of predominantly textual information that makes it possible to understand the context in which statistical data are collected, processed and analysed in order to create statistical information (legal and regulatory texts, methods and concepts used at all levels of processing, definitions and nomenclature, etc.).

The overall objective of the Project is to contribute to poverty alleviation and socio-economic development by contributing to improved local governance.
The project must place major emphasis on building the capacity of municipalities to address their financial, administrative, implementation, management and operational weaknesses. This capacity building will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of government-related programmes but also improve the overall performance of the municipalities in contributing to the local development process.

The objective is to provide the EU and the National Authorising Officer with the analysis of evidence and documentary materials required for the adoption of the 10th EDF General Budget Support programme in 2011.
