Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Consultant for Translation of HACT Manual in Malagasy Language, 30 Days, Antananarivo, Madagascar.

For each child, a hope


Background and Rationale
The Harmonized Approach to Transfer of Funds to Implementing Partners (APP), or Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfer (HACT), is based on managing the risks associated with the transfer of funds. In this framework, UNICEF and other United Nations agencies implementing HACT use audit and assurance activities and programmatic and financial activities of the MOUs. They have also put in place a support and capacity building system to improve knowledge of HACT procedures, HACT framework practices, HACT document sharing, and financial management training.
Following the revision of the HACT framework in 2014, and to enable MOUs to maintain and sustain the capacity they have acquired, UNICEF developed a HACT manual in French for PEs in 2016 entitled "Guidelines Operational on the HACT and Financial Procedures "which has been shared with them. Capacities were generally provided to MOUs to whom funds were transferred, centrally and / or regionally, while activities were implemented by MOUs at the district and sub-regional levels. the staff usually do not have adequate knowledge of the HACT framework. It is clear that this HACT manual is a key source of information for PE staff to better understand HACT.
To facilitate access to this manual for those implementing HACT at all levels, and encourage them to use it more, it is necessary to have a Malagasy language version. UNICEF Madagascar intends to recruit a consultant to ensure the translation into Malagasy of this manual HACT.
