| Overview : The Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA), a Development Finance Institution (DFI) wholly owned by the Government of Botswana, was established in 2001 to provide financial and technical support for business development, thereby promoting viable and sustainable citizen owned business enterprises. The DFI was established in response to a recommendation made by the National Conference on Citizen Economic Empowerment (NCCEE) held in July 1999, and the 4th Evaluation of the Financial Assistance Policy (FAP) that called for support for business development to promote citizen entrepreneurship among Batswana in various sectors of the economy. CEDA offers various funding products for new and existing business ventures. Financing varies from capital expenditure, working capital and equity. The Agency also provides technical and mentoring services, as a mechanism for enhancing investments in citizen enterprises and minimizing business discontinuation rates, which have been found to be very high in Botswana. In fulfilling its mandate to enhance citizen entrepreneurship, CEDA’s core direction is to Finance, Develop and Sustain citizen enterprises, as captured in its slogan. The Agency has thus far made substantial strides in the financing facet totaling about 16 000 enterprises. However, in order to sustain and further enhance (socio) economic development, CEDA needs to monitor the financed projects, assess performance, and the overall impact of these entities on Botswana’s national priorities. The Agency does not have a systematic and centralized monitoring and evaluation system for tracking its impact. This points to the need for a scalable and systematic, results oriented monitoring tool for tracking CEDA’s journey towards achieving its mandate. It is against this background that CEDA seeks to develop a results-based monitoring and evaluation system for timeously tracking its development impact that can be measured at the local and national level. The envisaged system should be linked to and seek to improve existing performance reporting tools such as QPR and SAP. In addition, the institutional and human capacity for M&E is inadequate and needs to be fully developed to ensure effective monitoring, reporting and evaluation of CEDA’s performance and impact. This assignment will be implemented through a consultancy jointly supervised by CEDA and UNDP. The Consultant will work under the direction of the Project Manager appointed by CEDA, the Programme Specialist – Economic Diversification and Inclusive Growth at UNDP, and the Reference Group |
