Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Redesign and Development of the MEFMI Private Capital Monitoring System.

The Macroeconomic and Financial Management Institute of Eastern and Southern Africa

(MEFMI) is a regionally owned capacity building Institute currently with 14 Member

Countries namely: Angola, Burundi, Botswana, Eswatini, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi,

Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Since the late 1990s, private capital flows have continued to be a significant source of

investment in the MEFMI region, especially in the context of declining official flows.

Consequently, there have been efforts by governments to collect and analyse information on

Foreign Private Capital (FPC) flows and stocks in order to design policies that ensure

maximum benefits and manage challenges associated with their volatility. However, it was

observed that most of the countries in the MEFMI region faced major problems in monitoring

and managing private capital flows data due to lack of reliable information systems (software).

To this end, MEFMI developed a web-based Private Capital Monitoring System (PCMS) in

2007 to assist member countries to capture and report this data. The PCMS has been regularly

reviewed to take into account users’ evolving reporting needs.

2. Statement of Intent

As part of ongoing efforts to contribute to the strengthening of intra-regional trade and

investment, MEFMI envisages rolling out a more robust system to its member countries and

beyond. MEFMI now plans to redesign and develop the PCMS taking into account desired

enhancements from current users, as well as the envisaged increased user capacity arising from

potential users of the system beyond the MEFMI region. As input to this process, MEFMI

conducted a user needs brainstorming workshop in November 2018. The workshop which was

attended by representatives from MEFMI member countries provided a platform for evaluation

of the current system’s compliance with country reporting requirements and consolidation of

user needs. In addition, MEFMI received recommendations on the system development, from

the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Secretariat to cater for the

envisioned wider regional needs.

Against this background, MEFMI is seeking the services of a qualified firm to redesign and

develop the Private Capital Monitoring System. Potential bidders should read this

document together with the System Requirements document.
