Contract Awarded by Selection of Individual Consultants

1. Project Country: Mongolia
2. Grant Number: H222 – MOG / Governance Assistance Project (GAP)
3. Scope of Contract:

The Government of Mongolia has received a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) under Governance Assistance Project (GAP). GAP is designed around three main components and a small component on project coordination & management comprising: (i) Management of Public Finance; (ii) Fostering Accountability and Monitoring; (iii) Investment Climate; and (iv) Project Coordination and Evaluation. The objectives of GAP are to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of key governance processes in public finance management, accountability and monitoring and investment climate. For more details on the GAP Project, please consult the address of the following website: www.worldbank.org/external/projects and refer to the Project Appraisal Document Report No.35212= MN.

A main objective of the Anti-Corruption Framework is to support the newly created the Independent Authority against Corruption (IAAC) in fulfilling its objective of reducing perceived and actual corruption. The IAAC was created in late 2006, following the adoption of the anticorruption law in June 2006. Since its creation more than a year ago, several significant achievements have been acknowledged, including (i) the disclosure of 40,858 (97.6 percent as preliminary data of 16 February, 2008) civil servant assets and income, among which 252 high level public officials were publicly disclosed as required by law, (ii) a strong 2007 awareness campaign; (iii) a number of investigations resulting for some of them in referral to the state prosecutor and convictions. To support the fulfillment of its mandate, the IAAC wishes to have an experienced international consultant provide assistance in the following areas:

The IAAC Strategic Framework: The existing legal framework in which the IAAC is operating consists of (i) the Anti-Corruption Law (June 2006): (ii) the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) adopted in December 2006, (iii) the Criminal Procedures Code, amended in September 2007 to provide the IAAC jurisdiction to investigate corruption. While the legal framework appears adequate for the IAAC to operate, a holistic approach to strategic goals is needed to enhance and clarify the vision of the agency activities and objectives in the short and medium term and plan accordingly.

The objective of this assignment is to develop a detailed medium-term strategic framework for the IAAC activities, on the basis of a review of legal mandate, existing strategic orientations, institutional set up and relations with other stakeholders, including external partners.

Staff Capacity and Training: Staff in the IAAC is organized along the IAAC main mandates, i.e. in Awareness and Prevention, Asset and Income Disclosure, Investigation, Administrative matters. The IAAC consist of 90 staff. Compared to civil service, salaries are relatively high to attract professional and committed staff. Nevertheless, at the Independent Authority is relatively new, the need for skills and capacity building is important, if the Independent Authority is to maintain the momentum of achievements and build on these initial successes its credibility.

The objective of this assignment is to conduct a detailed review of skills needs with an associated staffing and training plan, based on the functions that are the responsibility of the IAAC, including detailed outline of the capacity needed for specific functions. Furthermore, detailed training plans for individual staff in the IAAC should be developed, again, with a strong focus on functions.
