Grant No.: E081

Assignment Title: Training CCARDESA Staff on Results Measurements Framework ( Balanced Score Card (BSC))

Reference No. (as per Procurement Plan): BW-CCARDESA-12-01-CS-LCS

The Centre for Coordination of Agricultural Research and Development for Southern Africa (CCARDESA) is a subsidiary organization of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). With a mandate to coordinate agricultural research and development and contribute towards enhancing food and nutrition security and livelihoods in the region, CCARDESA was established in 2011 and started its full operations in 2013. To deliver effectively on its mandate, CCARDESA has articulated a long-term strategy (LTS) that focuses on enhancing agricultural productivity, resilience, and knowledge sharing, complemented by a mid-term operational plan (MTOP) that translates strategic objectives into implementable programmes and measurable results. Projects and programmes are aligned with these strategic frameworks and their performances are assessed based on their contribution to CCARDESA’s objectives as provided in the LTS and MTOP.. As part of the response, CCARDESA received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Food Systems Resilience Programme for Eastern and Southern Africa (FSRP) and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.

The consulting services (“the Services”) include training to build the capacity of CCARDESA staff to design, implement, and utilize the Balanced Scorecard as a tool for strategic performance management and organizational learning. The consultant is expected to deliver a training that will equip CCARDESA staff to translate the organization"s vision and strategy into actionable objectives, align the organization around these goals, and use the scorecard to monitor and improve performance for all projects and programmes. The assignment is expected to be implemented for 10 days in March 2026. This is largely a desktop assignment that includes 3 days of face-to-face training.

The Centre for Coordination of Agricultural Research and Development for Southern Africa (CCARDESA) now invites eligible consulting firms to indicate their interest in providing the Services.
