1 ECCSA TERMS OF REFERENCE Sida Demand Study for the Ethiopian Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations (ECCSA) July and August BACKGROUND 1.1 Assignment background The Ethiopian Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations (ECCSA) is an apex organisation of chambers and sectoral associations. It has 18 members, comprising nine regional associations, one national chamber of sectoral associations and six national sectoral associations. ECCSA became an official institution in 1947 and has since been recognised as the apex organisation which represents the Ethiopian private sector at a national level. For further information go to In 2003, to align with federal reorganisation, a new structure was established for national, regional and city based chambers. ECCSA became the national umbrella organisation, representing chambers and associations, rather than individual enterprises. These changes resulted from a recognition, by government, that the private sector should be strengthened to become a trusted partner in policy formulation and implementation. The business membership organisations (BMOs), comprising chambers and sectoral associations, became the primary conduit between the public and the private sector, facilitating mutual understanding and effective collaboration. Since 2003 the private sector has grown considerably and become more complex and demanding in the process. The BMOs are facing significant challenges responding to the rapidly changing needs of the private sector. Several limitations are now evident. These include capacity and competency weaknesses in the provision of research and development, and advocacy and lobbying services. In addition, the BMOs are not responsive to the wider need, within the private sector, for quality demand based services. This is resulting in a dissatisfaction among BMO members and, importantly, a limitation of potential revenues for the BMOs themselves. Recognising the challenges set out above, ECCSA, has asked for support from the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) to better understand the latent demand for BMO services and the capacity of the BMOs to provide those services. The proposed demand study is intended to provide this better understanding and will lead to 1
2 a grant funding mechanism to support the development of demand driven services and associated strengthening of BMO capacity and capability. 1.2 Assignment context Sida has been supporting the Ethiopian chamber system since This support has been provided through the Private Sector Development Hub (the Hub). The Hub has been operating through ECCSA since 2012 when ECCSA was appointed by the government to facilitate national public private dialogue. The Hub s objective is to contribute to the economic development of Ethiopia by improving and modernising the entrepreneurial environment and to strengthen the capacity of the Ethiopian private sector to constructively contribute to the national dialogue of economic development. So far, support has been targeted at strengthening chamber advocacy and dialogue activities, in addition to supporting the implementation of private sector reforms. Although there have been successes, many challenges remain. There is a very apparent need to continue supporting and strengthening ECCSA s activities and initiatives. It has been determined that, prior to mobilising a fund to support the capacity of BMOs to deliver demand driven services, there is a need to examine the current capacity and membership service provision, among ECCSA members. 1.3 Current situation With the help of Sida, the Hub has been supporting the activities of the Ethiopian chamber system to improve the business enabling environment. This support has contributed to an enhanced capacity and competency in the areas of research, advocacy and policy influence, resulting in improved policy, legal and institutional arrangements. However, challenges remain on the path towards a more consolidated and sustainable platform for constructive advocacy. ECCSA will support its members to deliver demandled products and services for which users are able and willing to pay. Evidently, a prerequisite to success is a minimum level of capacity and competency within ECCSA member BMOs. In the above context, these terms of reference specifically address the need for a study which will enable stakeholders to better understand the nature of the demand for BMO services and the existing capacity and competency levels, within the ECCSA membership group, to deliver those services. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT 2.1 Objective of the assignment The objective of this assignment is to provide an evidence based report which will directly increase the knowledge and understanding of ECCSA, the Hub and Sida 2
3 stakeholders on the nature of private sector demand for BMO services and the capacity and competency of ECCSA BMO members to develop, manage and deliver those services. This will inform the scope and direction of the grant fund mechanism, to be managed by the Hub, which is specifically targeted at strengthening the capacity and competency of ECCSA members. 2.2 Expected results The assignment will be expected to deliver the following five results 1. A clear, evidence based, assessment of the demand for generic services for which businesses (BMO members) are able and willing to pay. (Phase 1) 2. A clear, evidence based, assessment of the capacity and competency of ECCSA members to develop and deliver the generic demand driven services for their members, including an assessment of those members with most capacity and competency (stronger) and those with least (weaker). (Phase 1) 3. An assessment of the gap between demand and capacity/competency for the stronger and for the weaker organisations as well as recommendations on how to address these gaps through the proposed PSD Hub grant fund mechanism (Phase 1) 4. An overview of potential PSD Hub interventions in the wider BMO system which will strengthen the capacity of the media in Ethiopia to support effective advocacy and lobbying on behalf of the private sector (in particular for businesses who are members of the ECCSA network) (Phase 2) 5. An overview of the demand from ECCSA members and others (including the public sector) for non-generic services where there is a clear ability and willingness to pay. (Phase 2). 2.3 Planned phasing of activities The assignment will include the following three distinct phases of activities 1. Inception Phase (One Week) The first week of the assignment will comprise a review of existing documentation relating to the demand and supply of value based services within the Ethiopian BMO system. This documentation will include the following June 2014, baseline study of ECCSA organisations Organisation information on ECCSA members, including organisation charts, employee numbers and governance structures Financial information, including revenues and costs and fees generated as a percentage of total costs Members information, including total membership, fee paying members, size (revenues, employees), scope (geographic coverage) and scale (capital) of members Services and potential services (demand)*, including level of effort targeted at delivering services, primary income generating services and potential to develop and deliver different and new services 3
4 Market information, including the total number of registered businesses and the main sectors and industries in the catchment area ECCSA will provide some of this organisational, financial, membership and market information to the consultants at the outset of the assignment. *Potential services in demand might include, for example: networking events; information of market access and suppliers; publications; start up advice (organisational, financial and legal); training courses; mentoring and coaching support; research and development services; technology transfer services; business incubation; services targeted at women entrepreneurs; access to appropriate financial services; investor and member matching services; strategy and business planning services; public-private advocacy and lobbying services; media signposting; member advertising and public relations services; inward investment (FDI) and export promotion services; services related to sector and industry clustering; and services targeted at making markets work for the poor. The Inception phase will also comprise the following Interview planning, work planning, questionnaire development, Development of structured interview questions Planning structured interviews, focus group and workshops Scheduling of structured interviews The logistics, and securing attendees, for the focus group and workshop events. Drafting of an outline structure for the phase 1 report. These activities will culminate in a short inception report and a presentation to stakeholders, which should be planned for the end of week one of the assignment. 2. Phase 1 (Four Weeks) This will comprise the following activities. The circulation and completion of questionnaires, the completion of face to face and phone based structured interviews. The consultants will ensure that all 18 ECCSA member organisations are contacted during the questionnaire and structured interview process. Where possible, from each organisation, two staff (dealing directly with members and member services), and one member for the governing board, should be contacted. The consultants should aim for 40 percent of those contacted to be interviewed face to face and the residual BMO representatives to be interviewed remotely (by telephone). Face to face interviews should include some representation from BMOs located outside Addis Ababa. The aim will be to better understand the demand for BMO services and the capacity and competency of BMOs to deliver those services. Accordingly, the focus of these activities should be on the quality of existing membership services (which users are able and willing to pay for), demands for alternative or new services and the inherent capacity - for example: staffing levels; skill levels; appropriateness of organisation structure, service level compared to demand; and product quality compared to demand - to develop 4
5 and deliver better existing, alternative and new services which address demand (see examples above). Focus group meeting(s) and /or workshop(s) with groups who represent a cross section of ECCSA members. The aim of these events will be to drill down and explore further the findings from the questionnaire and structured interview process in order that conclusions can be drawn, from the assignment and that recommendations can be developed in the final report. This implies that the focus will be directed towards the BMO organisational capacity and the external business environment, which is generating the demand for services. In these group meetings, the gap between demand and supply can be explored with a view to identifying in which service / product areas the gap is least wide and, accordingly, where there can be a quick and less complicated response to plug the gap. The outputs from these facilitated events should also include some understanding of the role, and limitations, of the media in augmenting BMO advocacy and lobbying. The outputs should also enable the consultants to group BMOs with an existing capacity to address (with minimum intervention) the generic demand for services, as well as those with less capacity (that may require more extensive support). Additionally, at the end of phase 1, the consultants should be in a position to list other services (beyond generic) for which there is a demand and for which businesses are able and willing to pay, including direct public services such as FDI support and export related advice. Any follow up work to ensure that the draft final phase 1 report is evidence based and provides specific and clear information on findings, draws relevant conclusions and recommends workable solutions. At the end of phase 1 (week five) the consultants will be expected to present the results from phase 1 into a summary report which will include process undertaken, findings identified, conclusions drawn and recommendations for action. A presentation, summarising the salient points in the final assignment report, will be prepared and presented to stakeholders in the final week of the assignment. As a guide, the criteria that could determine what an appropriate capacity and competency would look like, for a BMO, could include the following. An agreed, realistic, communicated and understood strategy with time bound key indicators of performance An assessment of how much has been delivered against the strategy plan An effective and efficient financial management and internal audit system The presence of a member acquisition and retention plan supported by a member database Effective and regular communication activities, including publications and events to raise awareness and transfer information and knowledge Appropriately skilled and experienced staff who have built credible relations with members Evidence of services and products which elicit a financial return from users and an understanding, from staff, how these can evolve to meet future demand A market facing organisation structure and culture 5
6 A governance structure which comprises a significant depth and breadth of business experience and skills A cost conscious and lean organisation Strong organisational leadership with well communicated values, mission, vision and objectives A consistent internal focus on developing and delivering better economically viable services An understanding of market demand and, equally, an understanding of how that demand can be addressed Signs that the organisation promotes learning and embeds knowledge and lessons learned A robust connectedness to, and understanding of, the local business operating environment and the political economy Systems in place which generate, exploit and use knowledge An indication of the number of members have paid for services as a percentage of the total number of registered businesses, that have been operating for more than 36 months, in the catchment area The size, scope, scale and dynamism of the economy in the catchment area A balanced approach which considers both members and public stakeholders Some exposure, or potential for exposure, to international good practice on responding to new and evolving client demands and effectively pricing services and products. 3. Phase 2 (Two Weeks) Phase 2 is expected to start after approval of Phase 1 deliverables, and of PSD Hub inception phase deliverables dependent upon inputs from Phase 1. Phase 2 is thus subject to related approvals, with expected implementation in September A detailed description and work plan of phase 2 activities will be agreed during the presentation and discussion on phase 1 findings, conclusions and recommendations. However, it is likely that phase 2 activities will include a cursory investigation into potential support, within the wider BMO system, of the Ethiopian media and what interventions will be required to improve its performance in advocating for the ECCSA network of organisations and their members. Phase 2 is also likely to include activities which will lead to recommendations on the strengthening of those ECCSA members that have been identified, in phase 1, as having weaker capacity/competency to deliver a set of generic services. In particular, phase 2 is likely to involve recommendations on how to address these needs through the proposed PSD Hub grant fund. Based largely on the outputs from phase 1, it is probable that activities in phase 2 will include further exploration of, and reporting on, nongeneric demand for services from BMO members who are able and willing to pay for those services. At the end of phase 2 (week seven) the consultants will be expected to combine and aggregate the results from phases 1 & 2 into an final assignment report which will include process undertaken, findings identified, conclusions drawn and recommendations for action. A presentation, summarising the salient 6
7 points in the final assignment report, will be prepared and presented to stakeholders in the final week of the assignment. 3. PROFILE OF THE CONSULTANTS 3.1 Consultancy organisation The successful consultancy organisation will have a history of quality work, related directly to the Ethiopian private sector and should have had exposure to the role of BMOs in Ethiopia and the policy dialogue relationship between the private and public sectors in Ethiopia. It will be expected to support the its consultants with the necessary equipment, materials and guidance to ensure a successful assignment and it should appoint a senior member of the organisation to act as client liaison on quality assurance and the overall progress and performance of the assignment. The cost of this person s time should be integrated into the fees of the consultants (see below) 3.2 Assignment personnel Two consultants will be required for this assignment. A team leader who has significant and proven experience in economic and private sector development in Ethiopia, augmented with a university degree in economics, business or a related discipline. The second consultant will have a research background with a good understanding of the private sector and the BMO environment in Ethiopia.
