Request for Expressions of Interest for Consulting Service Country: The Republic of the Gambia Project Title: The Gambia Public Administration Modernization for Citizen Centric Service Delivery (PAMP) Project Assignment Title: Technical Assistance on the Development and Training on Standardised Planning tools Procurement Method: Individual Consultant Selection Method (IC) Reference No. GM-CPCU - MOFEA-539647-CS-INDV • Background: The Gambia Public Administration Modernization for Citizen Centric Service Delivery Project (PAMP), supports the Government of The Gambia's (GoTG) Recovery-Focused National Development Plan (RF-NDP) 2023-2027. This plan aims to consolidate democratic governance gains, accelerate green economic and social transformation, and build resilience to shocks and crises. The PAMP project focuses on enhancing domestic resource mobilization, financial reporting, human resource management, and citizen engagement within the education sector. It includes an Investment Project Financing (IPF) component to provide technical assistance and capacity building, supporting the effective implementation of the RF-NDP. Key results areas include: • Enhanced Domestic Resource Mobilization and Financial Reporting: Strengthening tax administration, policy, and government financial statement reporting. • Enhanced Human Resource Management: Modernizing public administration, focusing on education and health sectors, through improved wage bill control and HRM practices. • Enhanced Citizen Engagement in Education: Improving public data availability and quality for informed decision-making in the education sector. The Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs (MoFEA), through the Directorate of Development Planning (DDP), seeks to develop standardized tools for short, medium and long-term planning at the sectoral, regional and national levels. Standardized planning tools are a variety of methods, techniques and software used to organize schedules and manage tasks. In the context of development planning, these tools are useful to formulate and monitor the implementation of development planning frameworks. Given that the government is working on establishing a performance management system, these tools would serve as critical inputs to measure sector performance in the implementation of medium- and long-term development plans. The standardized tools will also support planning capacities of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to integrate global and continental frameworks into national, sectoral and regional plans. • Objective of The Assignment: The key objective of the assignment is to develop standardized tools to guide the formulation and monitoring of long and medium-term plans in line with the National Policy Development Handbook 2025.
