Consultant

Deloitte Consulting and WSP, together with Georgia State University and the Niti Foundation are implementing a five-year USAID funded Public Financial Management Program (USAID PFM) whose purpose is to provide technical assistance and strengthen Public Financial Management (PFM) functions, performance, and accountability of targeted agencies at the federal, provincial, and local levels of government, and to provide targeted assistance to the Government of Nepal (GON) aimed at strengthening national PFM institutions and systems to sustainably advance PFM.

The project commenced in October 2022 and will run for a five-year period to October 2027. The major stakeholders of the project are selected Federal Agencies including Ministry of Finance (MOF), Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration (MOFAGA), Financial Comptroller General’s Office (FCGO), PEFA Secretariat, National Natural Resources and Fiscal Commission (NNRFC), National Planning Commission (NPC), Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Minsters (OPMCM), Public Procurement Monitoring Office (PPMO), Provincial Governments of Madhesh and Lumbini Province, and Local Governments located in these two provinces.

On behalf of the USAID PFM program, the Niti Foundation is recruiting short-term consultants. This necessitates the involvement of experts from diverse fields related to natural resources and management (mountaineering, hydroelectricity, forestry, mining, minerals, radio frequency, and water). The procurement of these experts will be carried out either through individual contracts or by engaging a firm with relevant experience in these areas. Consequently, the study team will be led by a natural resource expert, supported by sectoral experts contracted in accordance with attached Terms of Reference (TOR).

Note (important):

"A firm with three team members or individuals wanting to apply must identify and clarify the sector of natural resources they want to contribute to, as per the Terms of Reference (e.g., mountaineering, hydroelectricity, forest, mines and minerals, radio frequency, and water)."
