BACKGROUND & CONTEXT The African Community of Practice on Managing for Development Results (AfCoP) is a pan-African, non-governmental, and not-for-profit organization, committed to the development and promotion of a results culture in Africa to contribute to the Africa transformation agenda. It was established in 2007, in the context of the Paris Declaration, in response to the commitment of African countries to adopt the principles and practices of MfDR to create sustainable change in the lives of their populations. It is a coalition of African leaders from all components of the society and engaged in a shared dynamic of results. Its members are public administration officials, parliamentarians, representatives of civil society, the private sector, academia, the media and development partners. Its objectives are to: (i) support institutional reforms to make public sector management (PSM) systems more results-oriented; (ii) strengthen the capacities of the stakeholders involved in the development process; (iii) influence key political processes for achieving development results through advocacy, advice and dialogue with governments and donors; and (v) conduct research and analysis on theories of change and action, as well as good practices, to enable evidencebased decision-making. AfCoP is supported by the African Development Bank (with the African Capacity Building Foundation managing the knowledge component) to build capacity on MfDR in countries (18 countries) and to facilitate policy and regional programs implementation through the MfDR approach. To this context, AfCoP developed the Africa for Results (AfriK4R) initiative, as a regional approach to development, to help materialize that vision by mobilizing African stakeholders around the results and regional development agendas. The AfriK4R initiative aims to: (i) strengthen public sector management systems to build capable states; (ii) strengthen resultsoriented organizations for better service delivery; (iii) enhance regional convergence through MfDR to improve regional integration; and (iv) promote South-South knowledge sharing.

The AfCoP is a bilingual (Francophone/ Anglophone) community of over 5, 000 members from 43 African countries. Members are practitioners of Managing for Development Results (MfDR) working for African governments, civil society, and as independent experts in the field. The AfCoP’s mission is to build African MfDR capacity through sharing experiences, networking and building strong learning relationships with MfDR practitioners in Africa and around the world. The AfCoP’s online platform is the main feature of the community. Members use it for knowledge sharing and exchanges on a continual basis. The platform represents the main instrument for the facilitation of discussions, ideas sourcing and experiences sharing on MfDR issues, among others. In response to the foregoing, the AfCoP would like to revive and update its platform to ensure that its user-friendly and enhance interaction and improve communication among AfCoP members as well as to provide opportunities for engagement. The AfCOP Secretariat is therefore looking for a Consultant webmaster to develop a friendly and well-functioning resource center for AfCoP.
