Background The Government of Somaliland has received a grant from the World Bank to implement the Somali Electricity Sector Recovery Project (SESRP). The Project Development Objective of SESRP is to increase access to electricity services and to re-establish the electricity supply industry in the Project Areas. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (the Ministry) has established a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to carry out the day-to-day activities of project planning, coordination, and implementation of the Somali Electricity Sector Recovery Project. The project comprises of the following four components: (i) Sub-transmission and distribution network reconstruction, reinforcement, and operations efficiency in the major load centers of Hargeisa; (ii) Hybridization and battery storage systems for mini grids; (iii) Stand-alone solar off-grid access to public institutions (Health and Education); (iv) Institutional Development and Capacity Building. The project will pilot an enhanced Women in Energy program in the form of an incubator/accelerator program that bridges skills gap between graduation from university and employment by training women engineers with soft and practical skills to work in technical fields within the energy sector. In this regard, MoEM seeks to recruit a Technical Expert to work on operational and program designing of the women’s Incubator. 2. Scope of Work and Responsibilities: The scope of work for the assignment includes but not limited to the following tasks: In Somaliland's energy sector, women face significant barriers to equal participation in STEM education and employment due to deep-rooted socio-cultural norms that portray technical fields as male-dominated. Domestic expectations and economic hardships, especially in rural areas, limit girls’ educational and career opportunities. Gender bias in hiring and workplace culture further hinders women’s advancement. Additionally, graduates often lack practical skills, leaving them underprepared for technical roles despite their theoretical knowledge. To bridge this gap, MoEM will pilot a Skill Accelerator/ Women in energy incubator, that will be a training facility financed under SESR Project to provide hard and soft skills to women who have graduated in STEM fields to prepare them for the energy sector. The facility will also provide training to employers in the energy sector to ensure their human resource policies and work environments are conducive to helping women engineers succeed. The pilot incubator will also provide placement services to assist women with employment search as well as track the employment records of the women who received training through the incubator. The expert will be tasked to evaluate existing university and TVET curricula in electricity and renewable energy, ensuring alignment with current industry skill demands. It will assess labor market trends to identify gaps and opportunities for relevant educational reforms. A key component is the establishment of women skill accelerator (incubator) with a clear governance structure, practical training programs, and industry linkages. And lastly to equip the incubator with the necessary resources and tracking systems to support graduates' transition into the workforce. The Technical Expert shall perform all tasks specified in the detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the assignment that can be found at the following website: www.moem-sl.com and www.moem.govsomaliland.org or can be provided upon submission of an application in person or by e-mail provided below. 3.

Female candidates are encouraged to apply. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANNEX A TERMS OF REFERENCE International Consultant to Support the Implementation of IPSAS Accounting Reforms Throughout THE FGS and FMS. • Background The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and the Federal Member States (FMSs) have been actively engaged in strengthening and transforming various components of their Public Financial Management (PFM) systems. As part of these ongoing reforms, the transition to an accrual-based accounting framework—aligned with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS)—has been identified as a critical step toward improving compliance with PFM rules and procedures, and ensuring the effective and transparent use of public resources. In recent years, both the FGS and FMSs have made notable progress in enhancing the preparation and quality of their annual financial statements, moving closer to full compliance with the Cash Basis IPSAS framework. While this progress provides a strong foundation, further efforts are required to fully meet IPSAS requirements. The next phase of the reform agenda focuses on improving financial reporting by enhancing disclosures to achieve full compliance with the IPSAS Cash Basis, while also laying the groundwork for a gradual transition to accrual-based IPSAS. Strengthening these disclosures is key to increasing transparency, improving accountability, and supporting more informed fiscal decision-making across all levels of government. To achieve this goal, there is a recognized need to strengthen institutional and human resource capacities—particularly in technical accounting and financial reporting. To advance this agenda, the Office of the Accountant General, under the Somalia Enhancing Public Resource Management Project (SERP), is seeking to recruit an international consultant. The consultant will provide technical assistance to support both the FGS and FMSs in two primary areas: (i) developing actionable roadmaps for enhancing disclosures to fully comply with IPSAS Cash Basis; and (ii) preparing for a phased transition to accrual-based IPSAS. In accordance with Article 97 of the Public Financial Management Regulations (PFMR) 2022, the Acountant General is mandated to prescribe accounting standards for financial statements and to issue related guidance in line with applicable standards. The recruitment of an international consultant to support improved disclosures and to develop a strategic transition roadmap is therefore aligned with this mandate and is essential to ensure the legitimacy, credibility, and sustainability of Somalia’s ongoing PFM reforms. 2. Objective of the Assignment The primary objective of this assignment is to initiate the recruitment process for a qualified international consultant who will be responsible for providing specialized technical assistance to the FGS and the FMS in the ongoing implementation of public sector accounting reforms. Specifically, the consultant will support enhancing compliance with IPSAS through the improvement of financial disclosures under the Cash Basis IPSAS and in developing a practical roadmap for transitioning to accrual-based IPSAS. Specifically, the consultant will conduct a comprehensive assessment of current accounting practices and disclosure requirements, and develop phased implementation strategies that are contextually appropriate for Somalia. The consultant will also support capacity building of relevant institutions, facilitate coordination among key stakeholders, and ensure that all reform efforts are aligned with international standards while responding to national priorities. This transition is a critical step in improving transparency, accountability, and the quality of financial reporting across all levels of government. 3. Tasks /Responsibilities/Job Descriptions The individual consultant will undertake all activities identified in these ToRs and these will be sequenced in accordance with an agreed implementation roadmap/schedule/milestone. The consultant shall work with both the FGS Director of Reporting and FMS reporting teams spearheading the various accounting reforms under the overall supervision from the FGS - Accountant General. The selected individual consultant will perform the following activities: • Review and assess existing financial disclosure practices under the IPSAS Cash Basis framework, identifying gaps and proposing enhancements required to achieve full compliance; • Prepare a comprehensive and context-specific roadmap covering both FGS and FMS to guide the transition from cash-based to accrual-based IPSAS. The roadmap should include clear phases, timelines, sequencing of activities, institutional responsibilities, and key enablers required for the transition; • Provide technical support to implement activities relating to designing and implementation of IPSAS sub reforms e.g., assets reforms, inventories reforms, liabilities reform; taxation; • Develop and implement a structured stakeholder engagement framework that ensures inclusive participation and coordination among FGS, FMSs, and other relevant entities including regular monthly coordination meetings to maintain alignment and momentum
