Overview
The Government of Grenada (GOGR) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) in an amount equivalent to USD11 million towards the cost of the “Integrated Solid Waste Management Project” and intends to apply a portion of the proceeds to eligible payments under a contract for which this invitation is issued. Payments by CDB will be made only at the request of GOGR and upon approval by CDB and will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement prohibits withdrawal from the financing account for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of CDB, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. No party other than GOGR shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the financing.
The Grenada Solid Waste Management Authority (GSWMA), the Executing Agency, now wishes to procure consultancy services for a Monitoring and Evaluation program.
The objectives of this consultancy are the development and implementation of a comprehensive result-based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework for measuring the achievements of project outputs during implementation and the achievement of the intended development outcomes. In addition, the consultancy is expected to contribute to strengthening the M&E capacity within GSWMA, and to establish a system for the long-term M&E of ISWM initiatives in Grenada. In designing a Management Information System for M&E, the Consultant shall accord a high priority towards ensuring sustainability of its operations and that the system can be transferred for use with other initiatives undertaken by GSWMA. Once the system is agreed upon by stakeholders, the Consultant will be required to assist GOGR in establishing arrangements within GSWMA for implementation of the system, which will facilitate informative and summative evaluations of the Project.
The duration of the assignment is expected to be for a period of eighteen(18) months.
