G20 Compact with Africa – Advisory Panel Member

About ACET

The African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) is an economic policy institute supporting Africa’s long-term growth through transformation. We produce research, offer policy advice, and galvanize action for African countries to develop their economies, reduce poverty, and improve livelihoods for all their people. We are the pre-eminent African organization advancing African solutions to African challenges. To learn more about ACET, visit https://acetforafrica.org.

Background of Assignment

The Compact with Africa (CwA), a central pillar of the G20 Africa Partnership, is a collaborative effort involving G20 countries, African countries, international financial institutions, and bilateral partners. Its objective is to catalyze increased investment in infrastructure, drawing from both private and official funding sources. ACET actively supports the implementation of the CwA through the Think Africa Partnership with the World Bank and funding from Germany.

ACET’s primary objectives within the CwA program are centered around four areas:

• Providing an independent peer review of the CwA
• Curating peer learning opportunities for member countries by providing global and regional good practice, research, and analysis on priority policy topics
• Facilitating investment promotion opportunities
• Advocating for the program on international platforms

In February 2019, ACET established the ACET CwA Advisory Panel comprised of eminent individuals with backgrounds in government, development agencies, think tanks, and other influential organizations on the continent. The panel provided ACET with a nuanced understanding of country-level needs, contributed to the legitimacy and ownership of the program in Africa, and offered valuable feedback.

Under the second phase of the CwA program, ACET will establish another advisory panel and is currently seeking eminent individuals to serve as panel members.

Scope of Assignment

Advisory Panel members will serve as champions for the CwA work program. Members will be asked to interface with governments regarding expectations, required commitments, and the overall CwA process. The total amount of days required per panel member will be approximately 30 person days over the duration of the contract.

The opinions of panel members will remain their own and will not necessarily reflect the views of CwA countries, G20 members, international financial institutions, or ACET.
