Responsibilities:

The United Nations Road Safety Fund (the Fund) is a Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) that pools financial and technical resources that are deployed to fill critical national road safety system gaps in low and middle income countries.

The Fund is able to release funding to non-UN partners, including civil society organizations (CSOs), directly after a comprehensive due diligence process, including a micro-assessment based on the UNDG Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT).

The Fund is seeking consultants to conduct a micro-assessment for five CSOs.


The micro assessment of each CSO will be performed by a consultant and includes a site visit to the CSO.

The assessment primarily consists of interviews with CSO personnel and a review of relevant documentation sufficient to complete the micro assessment questionnaire (Annex 1).

The questionnaire provides an overall risk rating based on responses provided:


Low risk - Indicates a well-developed financial management system and functioning control framework with a low likelihood of negative impact on the partner's ability to execute the programme in accordance with the work plan.


Medium Risk - Indicates a developed financial management system and control framework with moderate likelihood of potential negative impact on the partner's ability to execute the programme in accordance with the work plan.


Significant Risk - Indicates an underdeveloped financial management system or control framework with a significant likelihood of potential negative impact on the partner's ability to execute the programme in accordance with the work plan.


High Risk - Indicates an underdeveloped financial management system and control framework with a significant likelihood of potential negative impact on the partner's ability to execute the programme in accordance with the work plan.

The micro assessment assesses the partner's financial management capacity (i.e. accounting, procurement, reporting, internal controls, etc.) to determine the overall risk rating and assurance activities.

Responsibilities:

The assessment should be completed (including the site visit) within four weeks of engaging the service provider.

The HACT focal point and/or inter-agency coordinator from the Fund will be the Programme Manager in the Fund's secretariat, who will introduce the consultant and the CSO to aid coordination of the site visit.


The consultant receives general information regarding the partner and the programme from the HACT focal point in preparation for the assessment.

The consultant reviews this documentation in advance of performing a site visit to the partner.

The consultant should also provide the partner with an advance request of the documents and interviews they would like to have while on site, to ensure efficient use of time while on-site.


The consultant also completes the micro assessment questionnaire (Annex I, with instructions) based on the procedures performed during the assessment period.

The consultant discusses the results of the questionnaire with the HACT focal point (the Programme Manager in the Fund secretariat) before finalizing it.

Upon finalization, the consultant delivers an executive summary, detailing the overall risk rating and specific identified risks, and the completed questionnaire.

The micro assessment report is to be delivered in the format given in Annex II.
