Consultancy Services to Support a New Approach to Financial Risk Management in the Development Co-operation Africa Division

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade/An Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus Trádála

DCAD of the Department of Foreign Affairs is responsible for Ireland’s official programme of assistance to developing countries, and its main focus is the fight against world poverty and hunger. Given the complexity of issues that can arise in financial risk management, and with a changing context of aid, specialist expertise is needed to assist DCAD in a number of areas:
• evolving FRA and PFM risks in development cooperation modalities;
• specific FRA and PFM risks in fragile and conflict affected states and post-emergency contexts;
• fiduciary risks associated to non-governmental channels (such as multi-lateral, NGOs, Research and policy think tanks);
• applying recent research findings of lessons learned to PFM reform programmes;
• linking fiduciary risk with a broader financial governance agenda; and
• capacity development of DCAD staff on how to analyse, manage, engage and monitor around FRA and PFM processes and programmes.
