EU/BMZ Joint Action ‘Support to Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) in Lesotho’, Support to Management Processes (Monitoring, Facilitation, Digitalisation and Organisational Development)

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

Integrated water resource management (IWRM) is of utmost importance to the Orange-Senqu River Basin and the SADC region at large. Lesotho is the ‘water tower’ of the region. All water related interventions in Lesotho are therefore transboundary in nature and have an immediate impact downstream. Lesotho is a signatory to the SADC Treaty and the revised protocol on Shared Watercourses (2000) as well as a founding member of the Orange-Senqu River Commission (ORASECOM).
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has been supporting the SADC water sector for several years through the programme ‘Transboundary Water Management in the SADC region’ (TWM) implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The fifth phase of TWM runs from 1/2020 to 12/2023 and includes a major component co-financed by the European Union (EU) in Lesotho. The programme ‘Support to Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) in Lesotho’ — referred to in the following as ‘the ICM programme’ or ‘the Action’ — was agreed between the Government of Lesotho and the EU Delegation to the Kingdom of Lesotho in the Financing Agreement signed in April 2019. The Financing Agreement outlines the intended results to be achieved with funding from the EU through the 11 EDF with Lesotho (EUR 27.5 m); the BMZ through the TWM programme (EUR 6 m) and the Government of Lesotho (GoL) (EUR 5 m). The EU and BMZ financial contributions are managed through a Contribution Agreement with GIZ as the implementing agency, while the GoL contribution is considered a parallel financing managed by the GoL.
The overall objective of the action is: ‘ICM facilitates socio-economic development and adaptation to climate change in Lesotho’, while the specific objective runs: ‘ICM institutionalised and under full implementation in Lesotho, based on gender equality and climate adaptation principles’. The envisaged Outputs are as follows:
1) effective and efficient, gender sensitive and climate-resilient policy framework for ICM is developed and applied;
2) effective and efficient institutions for ICM are established, with equitable representation of women and youth;
3) capacity, skills and knowledge of public, private sector and civil society for sustainable ICM is facilitated;
4) ICM measures are implemented;
5) capacity strengthened for coordination, monitoring, supervision and general programme management.
The action is managed by a GIZ team together with counterparts from the GoL's national ICM Coordination Unit (ICU).
GIZ is seeking to procure the services of a contractor (consultancy firm or consortium) to provide support to various management processes that are grouped into four work packages: supporting the monitoring system for the action, facilitating team events and planning workshops, supporting organisational development and supporting digitalisation.

The Financing Agreement outlines the intended results to be achieved with funding from the EU through the 11

The overall objective of the action is: ‘ICM facilitates socio-economic development and adaptation to climate change in Lesotho’, while the specific objective runs: ‘ICM institutionalised and under full implementation in Lesotho, based on gender equality and climate adaptation principles’. The envisaged Outputs are as follows:

1) effective and efficient, gender sensitive and climate-resilient policy framework for ICM is developed and applied;

2) effective and efficient institutions for ICM are established, with equitable representation of women and youth;

3) capacity, skills and knowledge of public, private sector and civil society for sustainable ICM is facilitated;

4) ICM measures are implemented;

5) capacity strengthened for coordination, monitoring, supervision and general programme management.

The action is managed by a GIZ team together with counterparts from the GoL's national ICM Coordination Unit (ICU).

GIZ is seeking to procure the services of a contractor (consultancy firm or consortium) to provide support to various management processes that are grouped into four work packages: supporting the monitoring system for the action, facilitating team events and planning workshops, supporting organisational development and supporting digitalisation.

The Overall Objective of the Action is: ‘ICM facilitates socio-economic development and adaptation to climate change in Lesotho’, while the specific objective runs: ‘ICM institutionalised and under full implementation in Lesotho, based on gender equality and climate adaptation principles’. The envisaged outputs are as follows:

Under Work Package 1, the contractor will support the GIZ Programme Management and its counterparts in the ICU to develop a monitoring system for the action that will:

— allow for effective internal communication, real time review of the progress of implementation, indicator achievement and spending to inform strategic and operational management decisions;

— promote learning and knowledge management;

— feed into regular and ad-hoc reporting towards commissioning parties, steering structures and other key stakeholders; and

— can be used to publicise progress and results to the wider public.

Under Work Package 2, the contractor will conceptualise, facilitate and document events and workshops for team building, organisational structure and culture, strategic visioning, operational planning and mid-term reviews.

The third Work Package supports Output 5, Activity 5.1 of the 2020 Operational Plan that deals with enhancing the management capacity of partner institutions. It builds on a change management process supported by the EU in 2018/19 through a Change Mangement Technical Advisor (TA) that produced an organogram for the national ICM governance structure and organograms and terms of reference for the bodies contained therein, including the ICU. The national governance structure was approved by Cabinet in 2019, but will be reviewed as lessons learnt are generated on its efficacy and sustainability. The Organisational Development support will assist the review as well as provide recommendations regarding the strengthening of various bodies in the structure. The TA also conducted capacity needs assessments of the ICU and the Work Package will analyse and update the findings to recommend measures for strengthening its managerial capacity.

Work Package 4 then deals with the digitalisation of all support/management processes of the action. This relates to internal management processes of the GIZ team and the ICU (e.g. monitoring and reporting, document storage, collaborative work on documents, video-conferencing and chats), as well as IT-infrastructure and -capacities among all team members. The contractor must analyse the needs of the GIZ team and counterparts, identify which standard GIZ-systems can be used effectively, determine which additional tailor-made systems and tools must be developed, determine which IT-infrastructure should be procured, design and test the systems and tools (using a human-designed centred approach) and train and coach all users on the effective use of the systems and tools.

The assignment will be carried out between 1 July 2020 and 31 December 2021 with a total of 180 person days for an international expert as team leader and 240 person days for a pool of international and regional/national experts.

Kurze Beschreibung:

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has been supporting the SADC water sector for several years through the programme ‘Transboundary Water Management in the SADC region’ (TWM) implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The fifth phase of TWM runs from 01/2020 to 12/2023 and includes a major component co-financed by the European Union (EU) in Lesotho. The programme ‘Support to Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) in Lesotho’ — referred to in the following as ‘the ICM programme’ or ‘the Action’ — was agreed between the Government of Lesotho and the EU Delegation to the Kingdom of Lesotho in the financing agreement signed in April 2019. The financing agreement outlines the intended results to be achieved with funding from the EU through the 11

Under work package 1, the contractor will support the GIZ Programme management and its counterparts in the ICU to develop a monitoring system for the action that will: allow for effective internal communication, real time review of the progress of implementation, indicator achievement and spending to inform strategic and operational management decisions; promote learning and knowledge management; feed into regular and ad-hoc reporting towards commissioning parties, steering structures and other key stakeholders; and can be used to publicise progress and results to the wider public.

Under work package 2, the contractor will conceptualise, facilitate and document events and workshops for team building, organisational structure and culture, strategic visioning, operational planning and mid-term reviews.

The third work package supports output 5, activity 5.1 of the 2020 Operational Plan that deals with enhancing the management capacity of partner institutions. It builds on a change management process supported by the EU in 2018/19 through a Change Management Technical Advisor (TA) that produced an organogram for the national ICM governance structure and organograms and terms of reference for the bodies contained therein, including the ICU. The national governance structure was approved by Cabinet in 2019, but will be reviewed as lessons learnt are generated on its efficacy and sustainability. The organisational development support will assist the review as well as provide recommendations regarding the strengthening of various bodies in the structure. The TA also conducted capacity needs assessments of the ICU and the work package will analyse and update the findings to recommend measures for strengthening its managerial capacity.

work package 4 then deals with the digitalization of all support/management processes of the Action. This relates to internal management processes of the GIZ team and the ICU (e.g. monitoring and reporting, document storage, collaborative work on documents, video-conferencing and chats), as well as IT-infrastructure and -capacities among all team members. The contractor must analyse the needs of the GIZ team and counterparts; identify which standard GIZ-systems can be used effectively; determine which additional tailor-made systems and tools must be developed; determine which IT-infrastructure should be procured; design and test the systems and tools (using a human-designed centred approach); and train and coach all users on the effective use of the systems and tools.
