The Governance unit in Eastern Africa (EAEG1) is part of the Prosperity Department. The unit’s work program includes Public Sector Management where we help countries build capable, efficient, open, inclusive and accountable institutions as well as Financial Management where we provide fiduciary assurance of World Bank financed operations. With the increased lending portfolio in the region as well as the drive to manage fiduciary risks in an efficient and effective manner, the need to provide robust financial management support to task teams as well as capacity building and technical assistance to client governments in the area of financial management have become very critical. To achieve these goals, EAEG1 strengthened the FM team of the unit by converting selected Short Term Consultants (STCs) into Extended Term Consultants (ETCs). At the time three STCs could not be converted due to technical reasons that have since been resolved. This Terms of Reference (TOR) describes the duties and responsibilities of the ST being converted to ETC in the Tanzania Country Management Unit (CMU).

• Support high-quality FM fiduciary assurance services to the World Bank’s portfolio in the country, including assessing the adequacy of the FM arrangements of World Bank-funded operations and the associated implementing entities, providing FM implementation support and supervision, ensuring compliance with the applicable FM requirements, carrying out capacity building activities, and supporting analytical work on FM issues, all with due attention to quality assurance.
• Promote effective reliance on country systems as deemed appropriate, greater use of technology for fiduciary due diligence and implementation support and streamlining of FM and disbursement processes.
• Contribute to the provision of operational, policy, analytical, and advisory support to strengthen PFM systems and institutions, through the Institutions Unit work program and through sector interventions.
• Support the generation and exchange knowledge relating to FM and PFM subject matters.
• Contribute to the provision of high-quality inputs to portfolio reports, as well as corporate tasks such as the preparation of country briefs, inputs to thematic notes and knowledge and learning events.
• As needed, provide FM support to other countries in the Tanzania CMU.
