Job Description Short-term Consultancy
TERMS OF REFRENCE 1. BACKGROUND Centre for International Studies in Cooperation (CECI) is a leader within an international network of partners combating poverty and exclusion. Our main area of expertise is in the building of development capacity of local partners in four main areas: sustainable economic development, food security, human security and emergency response, and gender equality. Present in several countries, the CECI contributes to improving the conditions of thousands of people and changing lives, every day. WUSC and CECI have formed a consortium led by WUSC for the design and implementation of a West Africa Governance and Economic Sustainability in Extractive Areas (WAGES) project from April 2016 to March 2021. Working in partnership with communities, local government, mining companies, and other stakeholders, the project will enable communities, particularly women and youth, to maximize the socio-economic benefits from extractive resource investment in West Africa. The project’s principal areas of focus include local governance, sustainable and inclusive economic growth, and regional knowledge-sharing on development best practices in mining areas. The expected results of the project include: increasing employment opportunities for community members, especially youth and women; ii) strengthening capacity of sub-national governments and local institutions to leverage opportunities arising from natural resource development, especially the extractives sector; and iii) increasing informed dialogue on local economic growth and governance strategies in regions with natural resource development activities, within the three target countries and across West Africa. This five-year CAD$20 million project is funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) through the ExCEED fund of Canada. In Ghana, the project is implemented in the Western Region, more precisely in the Prestea-Huni Valley District and the Wassa East Districts. The World University Service of Canada (WUSC) invites NGOs, consulting firms and independent consultants to submit proposals to lead in the development of a simplified dissemination toolkit on mining regulations, policies and standards. Consultants are expected to submit technical and financial proposals with an implementation timetable and their corporate and team resumes. 2. OBJECTIVES OF THE REVIEW 3. MANDATE The mandate:
