The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission and the Governments of Grenada, Dominica, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines are implementing a World-Bank-financed Caribbean Digital Transformation Project (“CARDTP”), which aims to increase access to and use of digital services, technologies and skills by governments, businesses, and individuals in the Eastern Caribbean countries.
\n\n\n\n
Component 1 of CARDTP - Digital Enabling Environment seeks to develop an enabling environment for the region’s digital economy increasing competition, investment, and innovation while promoting trust and security of online transactions. A sub-component contemplates, among others, the bolstering of the legal and regulatory environment, institutions, and capacity to build trust in online transactions and strengthen the security and resilience of digital infrastructure and systems, centered on data protection and privacy.
\n\n\n\n
Component 3 of CARDTP- Digital Skills and Technology Adoption, aims to better equip individuals and businesses across the region for the jobs and economy of the future. The project will adopt a regional approach, aiming to capture economies of scale in specialized digital skills development programs and to create a pool of advanced digital talent to better position the region to attract investment by digital firms.
\n\n\n\n
This is to address the identified challenge that high educational outcomes in the region have not translated into the development of the skills needed in the digital era. Building digital skills and creating a stronger local and regional market for them will be critical to tackling the region’s unemployment challenges and maintaining competitiveness in the global economy of the future. Traditional education institutions are not producing enough graduates with the workforce-ready technical and “soft” skill sets in growing demand from digitally enabled industries. Women and girls are less likely to participate in STEM courses as a result of prevailing social norms, making them less prepared for the most promising digitally enabled fields of employment. Much of the top talent developed leaves the islands to pursue opportunities in the larger regional markets or globally, while those that stay do not fully utilize their skill sets. The high costs of investment in specialized digital skills are also a challenge, suggesting that a regional approach is needed to share costs and expertise to create a pool of digital talent to attract investment and support technology adoption by traditional industries.
\n\n\n\n
The high educational outcomes of the OECS have not translated into a local talent pool that provides these countries with the capacity to leverage digital technologies for sustained economic growth, reduction of social challenges, and improved benefits for citizens. In this regard the Market Assessment for the demand and supply of digital skills in the OECS revealed that there is a greater need to facilitate advanced level certification to meet the skills gaps in the marketplace. Against this backdrop, CARDTP is assisting Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines to enhance their capacity to engage more effectively in the global digital economy.
\n\n\n\n
CARDTP seeks to use digital transformation to strengthen the economic viability of the participating countries in the global economy and position them to eliminate persistent gaps in social vulnerability, support the move towards quality employment outcomes as well as tackle weak institutional capacity. The project also seeks to ensure that the citizens of the participating countries can access and obtain the relevant digital skills and literacy to adopt new technologies and participate fully in the digital economy. This includes basic digital skills and competencies, which empower individuals to interact online, consume digital goods and services, and advanced and specialized digital skills; enabling the workforce to effectively utilize technologies for enhanced productivity, innovations and entrepreneurships, digital transformation of public and private sector, and economic growth.
\n\n\n\n
The overall goal of this consultancy is to create a pool of advanced and specialized digital talent to better position the region to attract investments by digital firms and to enable OECS citizens to access remote working opportunities globally.
\n\n\n\n
\n\n
The consultancy will support the implementation of the CARDTP by coordinating advanced-level digital skills training, certification and job coaching to at least three hundred (300) beneficiaries from the project countries in the following areas:
\n\n\n\n
The consultant will be expected to deliver the following:
\n\n\n\n
\n\n

The solution for this project must be designed following open standards, to the extent feasible and in line with overall system requirements set out in this RFP, to provide for good inter-operability with multiple platforms and avoid any technology or technology provider lock-in.
The solution proposed by SI in response to this RFP, must comply with all the relevant standards and policies related to e-Governance application development published by Government of India, which includes:
In addition to above, the proposed solution must be based on and compliant with industry standards (their latest versions as on date) wherever applicable. This will apply to all the aspects of solution including but not limited to design, development, security, installation, and testing. There are many standards that are summarized below. However, the list below is for reference purposes only and is not to be considered as exhaustive.
The proposed solution should enable single-sign-on so that any user once authenticated and authorized by system is not required to be re-authorized for completing any of the services in the same session. For employees of the TNUHDB concerned, the browser-based application accessed on the intranet, through single-sign-on mechanism, will provide access to all the services of the departments concerned (based on their roles and responsibilities), Help module, basic and advanced reporting etc. Similarly, for external users (citizens and others), based on their profile and registration, the system shall enable single sign on facility to apply for various services, integration with existing TNUHDB applications, external applications, submit queries /complaints and check status of their applications.
The solution shall support PKI based Authentication and Authorization, in accordance with IT Act 2000, using the Digital Certificates issued by the Certifying Authorities (CA) such as MTNL or NIC or Maharashtra Government authorized agency. Two factor authentications (login id & password and digital signature) shall be implemented by the SI for officials/employees involved in processing citizen services as per the Functional requirement specification of the services specified in RFP.
Keeping in view the evolving needs of interoperability, especially the possibility that the solution shall become the focal point of delivery of services and may also involve cross functionality with the e-Government projects of other departments / businesses in future, the solution should be built on Open Standards. Some of the states already have other applications deployed and running for delivering services to citizens. The SI shall ensure that the application developed is easily integrated with the existing applications. Every care shall be taken to ensure that the code does not build a dependency on any proprietary software, particularly, using proprietary ‘stored procedures’ belonging to a specific database product.
One of the fundamental requirements of the proposed application is its scalability. The architecture should be proven to be scalable (cater to increasing load of internal and external users and their transactions) and capable of delivering high performance for at least four years from the date of deployment. In this context, it is required that the application and deployment architecture should provide for Scale-Up and Scale out on the Application and Web Servers, Database Servers, and all other solution components.
The systems implemented for project should be highly secure, considering that it is intended to handle sensitive data relating to the TNUHDB departments, and others. The overarching security considerations are described below.

Not only does it ensure that to deliver high -quality near-perfect application, but it also enhances the productivity of the development team throughput the application development process. A good bug tracking tool gives an overview of all identified errors so that nothing slips through the cracks. Reactive bug tracking also ensures that issues identified during use are promptly fixed to ensure minimal impact on product operation. A bug tracking system is required to find, fix bugs and other related issues to reduce cost of development and save time. Bug tracking system/tool should track problems and analyse efforts taken by team members to fix a bug or an issue. A bug tracking system/ tool can prioritize bugs and assign issues. Also, helps to spot repetitive problems and concentrate on important issues
The development team will be able to focus on high priority bugs rather than wasting time on smaller issues A bug tracking system/ tool should provide better communication through chat interfaces and email notifications. This reduces the communication gap and communicate to the right person to test / fix bug on time A bug tracking system should keep a record of the bug issues that are detected, who fixed them, and how long it took to fix a particular issue.

PACIFIC RESILIENCE PROGRAMME
\n\n\n\n
TERMS OF REFERENCE
\n\nImpact-Based Forecasting Consultancy
\n\nThe Pacific Resilience Programme (PREP) is a series of projects funded by the World Bank and implemented at the regional and national level by the Pacific Community, Pacific Island Forum Secretariat and Samoa, Tonga, Marshall Islands and Vanuatu. The overall project development objective is to strengthen early warning, resilient investments and financial protection. One of the components of the project aims to strengthen multi-hazard spatial risk data including tools to strengthen early warning and preparedness in Pacific Island Countries. The activities under this component include i) acquisition of data ii) hazard modelling iii) development of spatial information to produce maps that would support nationally implemented Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS). This activity specifically targets interventions in Tonga and Samoa to strengthen early warning systems and improve preparedness. Both countries are implementing national PREP projects focused on upgrading their multi-hazard early warning systems.
\n\n\n\n
The objective of this consultancy is to develop operational hazard models for forecasting of impacts of extreme events including tropical cyclones and coastal inundation at sub-national level, which will be integrated into the nationally implemented PREP multi-hazard early warning systems in Tonga and Samoa. Such impact forecasting can be used to produce just-in-time maps of potentially affected areas. In addition, this activity will enhance the Service Delivery System under [1]Sub-Component 1.1.3.
\n\n\n\n
The scope of services includes the following:
\n\n\n\n
Task 1 - Desktop review of the various methodologies supporting the impact-based forecast systems being developed in the region will be undertaken.
\n\n\n\n
Task 2 - Consultation with key stakeholders in Tonga and Samoa.
\n\n\n\n
Task 3 - Establish a real-time and in-situ ocean wave observation system to monitor coastal hazards
\n\n\n\n
Task 4 - Develop an open source swell inundation forecast system tailored to islands geomorphology and the resources available at the National Meteorological Services. Despite the fact that no High-Performance Computing (HPC) system is available at the national or regional level, the forecast, via a combination of numerical and statistical downscaling techniques, should provide project stakeholders with timely, accurate hazard information. Furthermore, the swell inundation forecast system should solely rely on freely available data and services (apart from internet, electricity, etc…).
\n\n\n\n
Swell driven inundation is a compound event influenced by meteorological, climatic and astronomical effect (e.g. wind setup, inverted barometric pressure, wave, sea level anomaly and tide). The swell inundation forecast system must include the following components:
\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
Task 5 - Develop an open source cyclone driven inundation forecast system tailored to coral island geomorphology and the resources available at the National Meteorological Services. As no High-Performance Computing (HPC) system is available at the national or regional level, the forecast should be based on pre-computed scenarios. Recent solution used for tropical cyclone driven inundation hazard assessment in Fiji (Mendez et al, 2018) and Vanuatu (Damlamian et al, 2019) could be further investigated. The development of a tropical cyclone inundation forecast system must include:
\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
Task 6 - Develop an open source tsunamigenic earthquake driven inundation forecast system tailored to the resources available at the National Meteorological Services. As no High Performance Computing (HPC) system is available at the national or regional level, the forecast could be based on pre-computed scenarios sourced from the recent database produced as part of the 2018 Australian Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard (https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/ptha). The development of a tsunami inundation forecast system should include:
\n\n\n\n
Task 7 – Integrate the hazard forecasts into an impact-based forecasting solution. The hazard information combined with existing exposure data will be used to produce actionable, impact-based information. The contractor will work closely with project stakeholders such as Tonga and Samoa Meteorological Offices to ensure the impact information is tailored to each country’s perception of asset value and cultural background. Furthermore, the impact-based forecast solution will be tested using existing post disaster survey data (e.g. 2018 TC Gita).
\n\n\n\n
Task 8 – Seasonal inundation outlook.
\n\nThe probability of inundation from swell and tropical cyclone will be statistically analyzed in relation to annual and monthly regional predictors in order to automate the generation of seasonal inundation outlook. This task will include:
\n\n\n\n
If demonstrated useful, operationalize the seasonal inundation outlook to systematically produce reports tailored to the relevant stakeholders
\n\n\n\n
Task 9 – Risk assessment.
\n\nRisk knowledge is a pillar of an effective early warning system. As such the contractor will be required to capitalize on the methodology developed and knowledge built from the tasks above to produce probabilistic inundation maps and risk information for all inundation sites.
\n\n\n\n
Task 10 - Integrate and operationalize impact-based forecast system and real time ocean observation in Tonga and Samoa (including training in Tonga and Samoa).
\n\n\n\n
Task 11 - Knowledge transfer:
\n\nThe contractor will work closely with project stakeholder and hold a series of workshop to ensure:
\n\n\n\n
This project will provide a significant contribution to the regional effort to implement impact-based forecast in Pacific Island countries. SPC is leading the development of inundation forecast system in the region, with two current World Meteorological Office (WMO) implemented projects; the Coastal Inundation Forecast Demonstration Project (CIFDP) in Fiji and the Climate Risk and Early Warning System (CREWS) project in Tuvalu and Kiribati. Additionally, within the next couple of years, SPC will be investigating the strengthening of the inundation forecast product for Majuro as part of the PREP2 project.
\n\n\n\n
Through this project, the following hazard forecasting tools/models will be developed for Tonga and Samoa:

The services will be provided over a period of eighteen (18) months inclusive of training, with an estimated level of effort of eighteen (18) person-months. It is expected that a specialist will be stationed at SPC to develop the inundation forecast framework for a minimum period of six (6) months. The hazard models and forecasting platforms should be developed in close collaboration with SPC’s technical team. Consultations will be held in-country, in Tonga and Samoa, and will include the technical team at SPC.
\n\n\n\n
It is anticipated that most of the development services will be delivered from the Consultant’s office location. However, this should be undertaken in close collaboration with SPC’s technical teams involving fortnightly skype meetings. Following deployment of the impact forecast platform, onsite training will be provided at SPC in Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.
\n\nThe consultant will be required to submit monthly progress reports including fortnightly telephone conferences. The consultant will report to SPC’s PREP Programme Manager, Mr. George Beck, georgeb@spc.int, and will work closely with the GEM Oceans and Maritime Programme.
\n\nSPC will provide office space and access to Internet in SPC Office in Suva and will make available all the existing reports and materials and provide access to existing data repositories. SPC will also assist in organizing consultations with stakeholders. SPC will collaborate with Samoa and Tonga to investigate the conversion of tropical cyclone wind models setup under PACSAFE as part of an impact-base forecasting system within the National Meteorological Services.

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
\n\nConsulting Services for a qualified System Integrator (SI) for the design, development and implementation of an Integrated Management Information System (MIS) Platform
\n\nLoan/credit #: 6374, Project No.: P162565
\n\n\n\n
The Government of Lao PDR received an IDA credit from the World Bank (WB) to implement a program entitled "Reducing Rural Poverty and Malnutrition Project (P162565). The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to support the design and implementation of a nutrition-sensitive social assistance program to improve nutrition behaviors, and enhance the convergence of nutrition-focused interventions.
\n\n\n\n
The project will support the implementation of a nutrition-sensitive cash transfer program to address poverty and malnutrition in 12 districts in four northern provinces: Oudomxay, Phongsaly, Xiengkhuang, and Houaphan. It will provide a complementary package of incentives (cash transfers) aligned with social and behavior change communication (SBCC) to households in poor, rural areas, complementing other nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive sector investments.
\n\nThe project will also finance the development of key building blocks of a social protection system through an establishment of an integrated MIS Platform. This includes support to develop a household targeting system and to create a social registry. To populate the social registry, the project will leverage the government’s previous poverty assessment data collection exercise and finance the data collection in the selected four provinces. The social registry will provide a ‘gateway’ for easier identification of beneficiaries for targeted social programs. Specifically, the social registry, which will rank households by way of a PMT, will be used to determine household eligibility for the CCT program and other targeted interventions within the nutrition convergence approach. This will also cover the establishment of an integrated beneficiary registry which will allow for monitoring and coordinating ‘who receives what’ across programs in target areas. The MIS is also expected to support the implementation of the CCT program.
\n\n\n\n
The consulting services (“the Services”) include provision of a team of consultants to manage and operate the proposed design and development of an integrated MIS Platform and providing its implementation support. The primary objective of the baseline data collection is to facilitate delivering a CCT program to support pregnant women and/or children under two years old in poor and vulnerable households using previously maintained household information. The CCT program, as a part of an integrated MIS – is expected to have functions such as enrolment, conditionality, beneficiary attendance, generation of electronic payment lists for cash transfers to the entitled beneficiaries, grievance handing, reporting among others to facilitate the automation of its business functions using a unified platform.
\n\n\n\n
The Terms of Reference for the assignment can be requested from the contact details provided below.
\n\n\n\n
Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) now invites eligible consulting firms (SIs) to indicate their interest in providing the services. The Consulting firm should be a reputable firm having proven experience in design, development and implementation of MIS platform in similar sectors preferably in safety net programs, health or education MIS, HRMIS, large scale database development or any other relevant system design and development of similar size and nature. The consulting firm (SI) is expected to have adequate experience and knowledge of doing similar work previously. The shortlisting criteria for the firms eligible to apply for the design, development and implementation of an Integrated Management Information System (MIS) Platform include the following:
