Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Consultancy on Africa Information Highway: Senior Expert for Statistical Strategic Planning and Support in Field Work.

The AfDB launched the African Information Highway (AIH) initiative in 2012
(www.afdb.org/statistics) with the objective of increasing public access to official statistics
in Africa. Under the program, Open Data Portals with common IT Platforms have been
installed in all 54 African countries and 16 African sub-regional and regional organizations.
The initiative aims at positioning AfDB as the hub for development data on RMCs by
establishing live data links between AfDB, National Statistical Agencies, Central Banks
and Line Ministries, on one hand; and RMCs with each other and with other external
development partners, on the other.
B. Objectives of the Assignement
Besides its other functionalities, the Open Data Portal (ODP) also incorporates a data
submission tool that facilitates reporting of country data to the AfDB or any other
organization, via the application of Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX)
standards. The Bank has been partnering with the IMF to install this system in all African
countries. The institutions have carried out joint missions to more than 30 countries so far.
The objective of these missions has been to train/assist these countries to use the ODP
as a means for the submission of data to the IMF and AfDB.
C. Main activities and deliverables
The consultant is expected to travel extensively within the region, and will be primarily
involved in supporting the AIH work in the field.
