Request for Expression of Interest (EOI) for Monitoring and Evaluation Consultancy Services
(1) Introduction:
The Federal Government of Nigeria has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) towards the implementation of the Public Sector Governance Reform and Development Project. The overall objective of the project is to improve transparency, accountability quality in public finance and human resource management systems, with a view to strengthen governance in the participating states in Nigeria. Kaduna State Government is a beneficiary of the credit and intends to use part of the proceeds for the engagement of Monitoring and Evaluation Consulting Firm.
Effectiveness in Public Financial Management (PFM) requires that public spending priorities should be carefully defined, adequate allocations be made and a follow up process be systematically entrenched to ensure value for money in public spending and the attainment of specified objectives in respect of the project/program to which allocations were made.
Monitoring and Evaluation is a key factor in the attainment of effective PFM objectives in the short, medium and long term. It has been observed that several MDAs undertake sporadic monitoring and evaluation activities in an uncoordinated fashion, with the outcome of such M&E activities not serving as feedback for developmental gap determination, program planning and future policy making.
