General Procurement Notice for Implementation of the Strategy for the Harmonization of Statistics (SHaSA-2)
across all ADF-Eligible Regional Member States (RMCs), Sub Regional Organizations (SROs), Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and Statistical Training Centers (STCs) across Africa.

The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Secretariat has received a Grant from the African Development Fund to finance the Statistical Capacity Building Program, Phase V for the implementation of the Strategy for the Harmonization of Statistics (SHaSA-2) across all ADF-Eligible Regional Member States (RMCs), Sub Regional Organizations (SROs), Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and Statistical Training Centers (STCs) across Africa.

The Program has the following components:
Component 1: Improving the availability and quality of economic statistics, including
the measurement of the COVID-19 impact:
The proposed program will focus on two broad areas namely the International Comparison Program(ICP) and other economic statistics. The breakdown of the domains of statistics will be as follows: National accounts, Price statistics, Debt statistics, Agriculture and food security, Business registers, Labor statistics, Environment and climate change and Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) statistics.
Component 2 Improving the quality and availability of Social Statistics and reporting on COVID-19: The SCB-5 aims at consolidating previous efforts across selected domains of social statistics by way of training and demand-driven technical assistance using international best practice. A second sub-component will involve strengthening the knowledge base on the state of infrastructure in Africa.
Component 3: Data Collection, Management and Dissemination
The Africa Information Highway (AIH) has resulted in significant growth in the efficiency of data management and dissemination systems in RMCs. The SCB V will continue strengthening the gains made in previous SCB rounds on data management and dissemination systems. A Data Innovation Lab (DiB) will also be established to create an enabling environment within the Bank and build the necessary skills and expertise to assist countries to reap the benefits of Big Data.
Component 4: Strategic Planning, Systems Development, Coordination and Training:
This component, focuses on raising the statistical capacity of National Statistical Systems (NSSs) by responding to demand-driven technical assistance, covering the design, review, monitoring and evaluation of the National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDSs) using best practice. There will be a review of outgoing and a formulation of incoming Regional Strategies for the Development of Statistics (RSDSs) at the REC level, aligning them with the relevant country NSDS as much as possible and as part of best practice.
Component 5 Project Management:
This component covers project staff costs, supervision missions, preparation of progress reports, audits and financial statements, as well as the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) process, including the Project Completion Report (PCR).
