the government, consulting with all donors, to develop the short-, medium- and
long-term objectives for the SP MIS development, an MIS implementation roadmap
based on these objectives, and a costing of each next step/component. This work
should build on the Rwanda SP MIS architecture and design documents developed
under World Bank technical assistance.
Major Tasks and Responsibilities:
- Work with the Ministry of Local Government to
develop short-, medium- and long-term objectives for the SP MIS. Liaise
closely with key actors involved in SP: donors, including DFID, UNICEF,
the World Bank, and KfW and government agencies, including the RLDSF/VUP,
and the National Identification Agency, among others. [2 weeks] - Once these objectives are agreed,
confirm/determine [2 months]:
a.The desirability of a unified social protection registry, if the Ubudehe
database will serve as the basis to build this registry and which programs
will use the registry. The consultant should consult with MHS on their
activities on the Ubudehe database, as well as VUP and MINALOC.
b.Which programs and systems will be harmonized to the full SP MIS (core
programs) and which will link to the MIS (related programs). This should
include not only an assessment of programs and processes included in the
original analysis, but additional ones that were overlooked, such as
disaster management and the M&E function of the system.
c.The common processes and differences between the processes of the core
and related programs and which will be included in the SP MIS and which will
not.
d.How the SP MIS will (or will not) eventually connect to the full system
landscape in Rwanda, such as the national ID, banking, and pensions. - Once all points in #2 are agreed, develop a
detailed roadmap for SP MIS development in Rwanda. The roadmap would be
based on the existing analysis and design that has been already done and
include a costing of each recommended MIS component and a prioritized
timeline for each component [1 month]. To develop the roadmap the
consultant will:
a.Review the existing MISs in the Rwanda Demobilization and Reintegration
Commission (RDRC) and the FARG, and the monitoring and evaluation database
currently being developed for the RSDLF. Consider how/whether the RLDSF
database can link to a social protection MIS - Consult with key MIS stakeholders, including
staff from all SP programs, the national ID office, DFID, UNICEF, KfW, and
the World Bank, and review existing information management practices of
all SP programs, to prioritize which modules in the original analysis document
should be designed first and how to proceed with the rollout of an MIS
within the SP.
c.Cost each phase of the roadmap and identify sources of funding where
possible. - Develop the logical data model and functional
specifications for the first stages of the SP MIS roadmap. [3 months] - Participate in meetings/discussions with
ministries implementing social protection programs, MIS experts, donors
including the World Bank team, DFID, and UNICEF; coordinate single
registry MIS activities with concerned stakeholders – e.g. Ministry of
Local Government, the VUP, the National ID program, and others.
