Project ID: P176932
Assignment Title: The Development of Business Strategy for the National Payment System

Duration of the assignment: Ten (10) weeks.
Date of Issued: 14TH July 2026
Deadline of submission: 31st July 2026
Background:
The Central Bank of The Gambia (CBG), in partnership with GamSwitch, is undertaking the modernisation of the Fast Payment System (FPS) to strengthen the national payments infrastructure and enhance interoperability across the financial ecosystem. This initiative aims to support safe, reliable, and instant payments, thereby advancing financial inclusion and aligning with national financial sector development priorities and international best practices.
GamSwitch, established by the Government of The Gambia through the CBG, serves as the National Payment Switch (NPS), providing shared infrastructure that facilitates seamless transactions among banks, microfinance institutions, mobile money operators, and other payment service providers. However, while GamSwitch operates a business strategy, it does not sufficiently articulate its mandate, value proposition, and long-term sustainability framework. This has resulted in gaps in governance, business model clarity, and stakeholder engagement.
Against this backdrop, the Central Bank seeks a qualified consulting firm with the technical and institutional expertise to provide program management support, implementation assistance, and change management services required to drive the modernization program and the strategic repositioning of GamSwitch.
Objective of the assignment:

ASSIGNMENT TITLE: CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMESA MODEL POLICY FRAMEWORK ON CARBON MARKET DEVELOPMENT -ZM-COMESA-553250-CS-QCBS.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) received a grant from the World Bank towards the implementation of the Accelerating Sustainable and Clean Energy Access Transformation (ASCENT) program and intends to apply part of the proceeds towards the provision of consultancy services for the development of the carbon policy framework on carbon market development.
COMESA intends to develop a Model Policy Framework for Carbon Markets that will :
The proposed Model Policy Framework will provide structured, nonbinding guidance to Member States, enabling them to establish robust and transparent systems for carbon market participation while preserving national sovereignty. It will emphasize principles of environmental integrity, transparency, accountability, and equitable benefitsharing, ensuring that carbon market activities contribute meaningfully to sustainable growth and resilience. The framework will also outline institutional arrangements, including national focal points and a regional coordination platform under the COMESA Secretariat, to facilitate policy convergence, knowledge sharing, and collective engagement in international negotiations.
In addition, the framework will provide technical guidance on monitoring, reporting, and verification systems, carbon registries, and safeguards against double counting, thereby supporting Member States in meeting international standards. It will promote regional cooperation through shared standards for carbon credit quality, mechanisms for crossborder projects, and the establishment of a regional knowledge hub. Importantly, the framework will align carbon market development with COMESA’s broader climate, energy, and development priorities, with potential to link carbon finance to renewable energy expansion and productive use of energy
By advancing this initiative, COMESA will strengthen institutional capacity across the region, enhance transparency and accountability, and foster investor confidence. The framework will help Member States avoid the pitfalls of fragmented approaches, build collective bargaining power in global climate negotiations, and ensure that carbon market participation supports inclusive and sustainable development. Ultimately, the Model Policy Framework will serve as a strategic tool to guide Member States toward highintegrity engagement in carbon markets, reinforcing COMESA’s role as a driver of regional integration and sustainable transformation.

ASSIGNMENT TITLE: CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION OF CARBON PROJECTS UNDER COMESA ASCENT PROGRAM -ZM-COMESA-553255-CS-QCBS.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) received a grant from the World Bank towards the implementation of the Accelerating Sustainable and Clean Energy Access Transformation (ASCENT) program and intends to apply part of the proceeds towards the provision of consultancy services for the validation and verification of caron projects under the ASCENT program.
As a key element of the ASCENT Program, the Regional Energy Access Acceleration Platform aims to create an enabling environment for increasing access to sustainable and clean energy. COMESA has the responsibility of managing the ASCENT Regional Energy Access Acceleration Platform. This COMESA-managed Platform contributes to implementation and monitoring of the overall ASCENT program, and progress towards the overall program objectives. Particularly relevant for the aim to mobilize financing through carbon markets is the digital MRV (d-MRV) for energy access that the COMESA-managed platform is establishing at the regional level. The Regional Energy Access Acceleration Platform is also an important vehicle to facilitate capacity-building efforts, including carbon markets among the ASCENT countries, as well as to exchange knowledge and experiences. This includes support for the validation of ASCENT countries’ carbon programs.
2.0 OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
COMESA, as manager of the ASCENT Regional Energy Access Acceleration Platform, is seeking to hire Validation and Verification Bodies (VVBs) operating in Africa to provide services for the validation of ASCENT countries’ carbon programs according to the Energy Access Program (EAP) Standard developed by the Global Carbon Council (GCC).
Scope of Work
COMESA is seeking to identify VVBs that are operating in Eastern and Southern Africa and can offer carbon project validation services for ASCENT Countries’ carbon programs following the Energy Access Program (EAP) Standard developed by the Global Carbon Council (GCC).
The scope of work may cover the validation of 1 or 2 ASCENT Carbon programs per ASCENT countries (i.e., one country may have ASCENT carbon programs on (i) electricity connection, and (ii) clean cooking). The confirmation of the countries and timing of validation assignments will depend on the readiness of individual countries’ ASCENT Carbon programs.
VVBs are also invited to indicate for which country(ies) in the ASCENT geography they are expressing interest to offer their carbon project validation services and also confirm their ability to validate both types of ASCENT Carbon programs: (i) electricity connection; and (ii) clean cooking.
The selected VVB will conduct rigorous technical and methodological assessments to confirm that proposed projects meet the GCC requirements for registration. Activities include desk review of the Project Submission Form (PSF), Emission reductions calculations, additionality assessment, Environmental and Social Safeguards forms, SDG Impact assessment forms, supporting audit documentation and any other relevant documents required for validation. The validation engagement will also include a site visit.
For each carbon project submission, the expected deliverables include a final validation report in line with the GCC requirements, and any other document required by the GCC for project registration.
