• Job description
  The AECF, LLC (Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund) is a leading non-profit development organization that supports innovative enterprises in the agribusiness and renewable energy sectors. Its aim is to reduce rural poverty, promote climate-resilient communities, and create jobs.
  We catalyze the private sector by surfacing and commercializing new ideas, business models, and technologies designed to increase agricultural productivity, improve farmer incomes, expand clean energy access, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance resilience to the effects of climate change. We finance high-risk businesses that struggle to access commercial funding; we are committed to working in frontier markets, fragile contexts, and high-risk economies where few mainstream financing institutions dare to go.
  To date, we have supported over 510 businesses in 26 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, impacted more than 33 million lives, and created over 35,000 direct jobs. The AECF is headquartered in Kenya and has offices in Côte d’Ivoire, Tanzania, Nigeria, South Sudan, Benin, and Somalia.
  2.0 About the FIG Somalia programme
  Funded by the European Union, FIG is a component of the Inclusive Local and Economic Development (ILED) programme, whose objective is to revitalize and expand the local economy with a focus on livelihood enhancement, job creation, and broad-based inclusive growth for Somali women, youth, and producers through:
  Designing and offering appropriate and sustainable financial products and services to clients through its partner Financial Institutions (FI) and ensuring that targeted clients grow and become more bankable.
  Catalyzing a sustainable increase in lending to economic actors in Somalia, esp. youth, women, and producers.
  Building the capacity of the partner financial institutions to increasingly provide appropriate financial services for a wider scope of customers living in urban centres, and rural and decentralized areas in Somalia.
  Building the capacity of targeted end clients to use the financing for business growth.
  3.0 Background of the consultancy
  The Somali Microfinance Association (SOMMA) was established with support from the EU-funded Finance for Inclusive Growth (FIG) Somalia programme. Its primary goal is to foster financial inclusion for poor households in Somalia. SOMMA comprises seven-member Microfinance Institutions and receives applications from additional MFIs interested in joining the association.
  SOMMA requires technical assistance (TA) to expand its membership and collect membership commissions. This will enhance its operations and effectively serve its members and the poor communities in Somalia.
  In this context, AECF seeks an expert consulting firm to conduct an institutional capacity gap assessment for SOMMA. The objective is to identify and address these gaps, enabling SOMMA to function more effectively. As a key player in promoting financial inclusion, SOMMA will support microfinance institutions across Somalia, which are critical for providing access to financial services in target communities. Therefore, strengthening SOMMA’s institutional capacity is essential for better serving its members and advancing the development of the microfinance sector in Somalia. This assignment’s primary objective is to thoroughly assess SOMMA’s institutional capacity and formulate strategies to enhance its operational, management, and service delivery capabilities. The objective is to prepare SOMMA to effectively support its member microfinance institutions and contribute to developing a resilient microfinance sector in Somalia.
  4.0 Scope of the consultancy
  The Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF) seeks to engage a highly qualified consulting firm with substantial expertise in the microfinance sector in Somalia. The firm selected should have a proven track record in conducting financial institution capacity gap analyses, developing staff training programmes, and formulating policies and guidelines. Additionally, the firm should have experience creating financing products for MFIs, banks, and associations.
  Conduct an institutional capacity gap assessment and evaluate SOMMA’s organisational structure, governance, and operational efficiency.
  Identify gaps and areas for improvement across administrative, financial, and programmatic functions.
  Review existing policies, procedures, and guidelines, and propose enhancements to align with international best practices.
  Develop and implement missing policies to support governance, financial management, risk management, and member engagement.
  Create a strategy to increase SOMMA’s membership to 16 microfinance institutions through outreach and promotional activities.
  Develop a member MFI engagement and retention plan to foster long-term relationships.
  Organize and facilitate exposure visits for SOMMA management (the CEO and the Board chairperson) to Kenya or Uganda to learn from established microfinance associations in the selected country.
  Conduct workshops and training sessions for SOMMA staff and management to build capacity based on the Gap assessment findings.
  Develop robust reporting mechanisms to track SOMMA’s activities and assess impact.
  Support the preparation of SOMMA’s inaugural Somalia Micro Finance Institution Annual Performance Report.
  Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor and evaluate SOMMA’s effectiveness.
  5.0 Deliverables and timing
  The assignment will span over six months. The following deliverables will be produced:
  Inception report: A report confirming the assignment delivery methodology and updated work plan to be submitted within one week of the contract’s signature.
  Report: A Comprehensive report detailing each milestone completed with evidence of the completed assignments to be submitted.
