The objective of this assignment is to create a better understanding and clear guidelines for the use and development of SPVs created for different purposes.
The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the UNCDF global LFI technical secretariat based in Tanzania. Specifically, the consultant will:
- Conduct stakeholders mapping of different organizations at the national and local government level to collect relevant information including their inputs on the assignment.
- Review existing SPVs in Tanzania and globally to learn practice challenges, lesson learned, best practices, and other relevant information for the assignment.
- Analyse applicable legislative and statutory laws & regulations guiding investments in partnership with local authorities e.g. in the areas of governance, administration, finance, investment etc and implementation of SPVs.
- Understand and document the options available for SPV structures used to manage LGA’s projects including wholly owned public projects and those involving the private sector and other stakeholders
- Obtain and review different assessments on this topic including recent assessments by PO-RALG in collaboration with other development partners.
- Develop two different versions of guidelines as follows:
- Guideline #1: A Tanzania National Guideline for establishment and management of SPVs with a focus on public corporations and PPPs. This guideline will be in collaboration with focal points from the Ministry of Finance and Planning, and President Office, Regional Administration and Local Government. For this segment, the consultant will develop training modules and presentation materials; conduct training of Trainers (ToTs) on the subject; and prepare a general TOT training report.
- Guideline #2: A generic technical guideline for SPVs to be used in different country settings globally. The difference between guideline 1 and 2 is that the former focuses on the Tanzanian environment while the latter is a general document to be tailored to any developing country.
The guidelines will be developed through a consultative process that will also require travel to selected local authorities in Tanzania.
