Request For Expression of Interest

A. BACKGROUND TO THE PROJECT

The World Bank is supporting Somalia to improve institutions and service delivery with a view to strengthening the social contract. This is part of a broader effort to build state legitimacy and reduce institutional fragmentation. For Somali citizens to be willing to contribute to public revenues, they must trust in the state’s capability to discharge its basic functions and deliver public services. A similar trust is required to boost external funding for essential services and humanitarian support, such as for drought and famine, and to channel these via government institutions and systems. This requires, on the one hand, bolstering the institutional capacity of the state, and on the other hand, addressing fragmentation and strengthening the transparency and accountability in managing public resources.

The project will assist Somali governments by focusing on synergies and interconnectedness between improving domestic revenue mobilization (DRM), public financial management (PFM), and public sector management (PSM).[1] Integration of revenue, expenditure, and service delivery will in time improve formal tax collection, strengthen legitimacy, and reduce the role of non-state actors. This operation consolidates the Banks’s efforts and will do so in the context of the whole of the Somali peninsula, aiming for a consistent reform agenda across the Somali governments while customizing its interventions to the needs of a given level of government.
