This will enable the CSO to effectively deliver on its mandate and transition towards becoming a National Statistical Institute.

The consulting firm will work under the direction of the Department of Economic Development and Youth Economy to:

• Support the development of clear and measurable strategic goals and objectives for the CSO aligned with Saint Lucia’s National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS).
• Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the CSO’s existing organizational structure, business processes, workforce competencies, and technological and legal frameworks to identify areas for improvement.
• Develop and cost a proposal for a new organizational structure, including a succession plan, change management strategy, and roadmap for transitioning to a National Statistical Institute (NSI).
• Design and implement a capacity-building and professional development plan, including orientation and training modules to strengthen leadership, technical, and project management skills within the CSO.
• Assess existing data governance mechanisms and establish a quality assurance framework to enhance integrity, confidentiality, transparency, and consistency of statistical data.
• Provide recommendations to strengthen regional and international cooperation and participation in statistical initiatives to promote harmonization and knowledge sharing.
• Review and institutionalize a framework for annual budgeting and operational planning, including training and templates to support effective implementation.
