The Programme
The focus areas of the GGF, including Lot 2A are:
1. Reform to the regulation of the business environment and economic governance, to support alignment with international standards and promote broad-based economic growth and job creation, including through small- and medium-sized enterprise development and attraction of foreign direct investment.
2. Institutional capacity building to develop more effective governance, public administration, and management of public finances, in order that governments in target countries become increasingly accountable and responsive to the needs of citizens.
3. Anti-corruption measures and judicial reform to strengthen the rule of law, reduce opportunities for corruption and increase the capacity of countries to address corruption when it does occur.
4. Modernisation of key sectors (such as energy, banking) and reform of state-owned enterprises to support transition to market-driven, modern economies.
5. Stronger and more independent media and civil society to ensure that the public can engage in active, informed debate and to enable governments to effectively communicate the benefits of reforms to its citizens
The TAF’s role will be to respond to concept notes received from the Portfolio Management Unit (PMU), by designing projects. Once the TAF designs the project, the TAF will re-submit the design to the PMU for approval. Once the PMU approves them, the TAF will then implement the project.
The Project Manager is responsible for dealing with the technical and design aspects of the projects, in cooperation with the Programme Lead. The Project Manager will support and ensure the successful implementation of projects through working closely with delivery partners on timely and quality deliverables, working with the TAF EP team in support to carry out financial, procurement, administration, logistics and all operational aspects of assigned projects.
