| Overview : UNCDF is the UN’s capital investment agency for the world’s 48 least developed countries (LDCs). With its capital mandate and instruments, UNCDF offers “last mile” finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development. This last mile is where available resources for development are scarcest; where market failures are most pronounced; and where benefits from national growth tend to leave people excluded. Mobile Money for the Poor (MM4P) is a programme launched by UNCDF in partnership with the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida), the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The MasterCard Foundation. MM4P provides support to branchless and mobile financial services in a select group of LDCs to demonstrate how the correct mix of financial, technical and policy support can build a robust branchless and mobile financial services ecosystem that reaches low income people in LDCs. MM4P launched in Nepal in 2013. The preparatory phase of MM4P has been done in consultation with the Central Bank of Nepal, the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and with the permission of the Ministry of Finance, with a focus on research, awareness raising, assistance in strategy and business planning and working with the NRB. Institutions licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) are required to report a range of data to NRB on a regular basis. Some of this data pertains to financial access and usage of various services. NRB has been using a legacy system for past 3 years to manage this process of data collection with individualised login for every institution. The reporting system was managed in-house at NRB and operates on a PHP-MYSQL database system. The current system: · Allows Financial Institutions (FIs) download data reporting templates · Allows FIs to upload their data as formatted CSVs which are then housed in a MYSQL database NRB is in process of improving the existing system and adding new modules on to it, which would also provide them dynamic facility to manage data and that is also aimed to be equipped with BI capabilities based on GIS Mapping. The current system is developed in PHP-MYSQL with Codeignitor Framework, it will be necessary to develop the add-on system on the same platform with the handover of the entire set of codes to NRB. The developer/s will be guided and work under the supervision of NRB and the project supervisor. Documents detailing the design and functional requirements for the system will have been developed by the NRB and the project supervisor, these will be available to the developers. The work as part of this ToR shall include the following as below. It is expected that under the development phase, the development team would work primarily with the Bank and Financial Institution Regulation Department and IT Departments. They may liaison with other departments within Central Bank to get the feedback and inputs. Final products: - Reporting entities management system
