2 GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT

2.1 CONTEXT OF THE PROJECT

The ECOWAS Investment and Development Bank (EBID) is an international financial institution

common to the fifteen (15) ECOWAS Member States of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Côte

d'Ivoire, the Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal,

Sierra Leone and Togo. It is the result of the transformation of the Cooperation, Compensation

and Development Fund (ECOWAS Fund) into a regional holding company called EBID with two

(2) subsidiaries, decided at the twenty-second Session of the Conference of Heads of State

and Government meeting held in December 1999.

By decision A/DEC.3 /06/06 of 14 June 2006, the Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS

reorganized the holding company into a single entity with the absorption of the two

subsidiaries, BRIC and FRDC. The new entity comprises two operational windows, one of which

is dedicated to the private sector and one to the public sector.

The authorized capital of EBID is one billion units of account (UA). It is divided into one million

(1.000.000) shares with a nominal value of UA one thousand (1000). The capital sum is

estimated at UA 392.741.332. The objectives defined in the Bank's Articles of Association are

as follows:

a. to grant Loans and guarantees for the financing of investment projects and

programmes relating to the economic and social development of Member States, to

participate in the capital of public, private or mixed structures, and to engage in all

other investments, while giving priority particularly to:

i. projects or programmes which, by their nature or extent, concern at least

two regional Member States, in particular projects for the creation of regional

integration infrastructure and all other development projects in the public

and private sectors;

ii. projects or programmes aimed at strengthening the economies of the least

developed Member States of the Community and the reconstruction of States

which have experienced armed conflicts or serious socio-political crises;

iii. projects or programmes which contribute to making the Community

economies more complementary and to special programmes and projects to

fight against poverty and social inequalities.

b. mobilize resources within and outside the Community for the financing of

its investment projects and programmes;

c. provide technical assistance which may be necessary in the Community for the

study, preparation, financing and implementation of development projects and

programmes;

d. receive and manage the portion of ECOWAS Community levy to finance Community

development actions in accordance with Protocol A/P1/7/96 of 27 July 1996 on the

conditions for application of the levy and by virtue of any other relevant provision;

e. manage all special funds of the Community relating to its objective;

f. carry out any commercial, industrial or agricultural activity, to the extent that it is

ancillary to its objective or necessary for the recovery of its debts.

The vision of EBID is to be the leading regional institution for financing investment and

development in West Africa and an effective tool for combating poverty, for wealth creation

and employment promotion in Africa for the well-being of the people of the region.

Its mission is to help create conducive conditions for an economically strong, industrialized,

prosperous West Africa that is perfectly integrated both internally and globally, to take

advantage of the opportunities and prospects offered by globalisation.

technical assistance programme, in the form of a grant to strengthen its capacities in order to

be better able to carry out its mission as stipulated.

This Technical Assistance Programme covered six (06) components, including the

Strengthening of Human Capital. The successful completion of this component is contingent

upon the procurement by the Bank of a Human Resources Management Software package.

4 PRODUCT FUNCTIONS

The features of the solution requested are as follows:

Manage end-to-end Human Resources (HR) management processes by eliminating manual interfaces and data overlaps (improved flow management and tracking);

break through the operational compartmentalisation of the different organisational units, through an integrated management approach and a controlled sharing of information between the organisational units and also with the external world;

comprise integrated modules sharing the same functional and technical references. The principle of modularity allows EBID to opt for the modules that correspond with its need without being obliged to implement everything;

ensure the uniqueness of data and information sources as well as the uniform application of management rules;

ensure reliability of information by eliminating reconciliations and manual consistency checks of information;

be open, i.e. enable EBID, should the need arise subsequently, to add components from other suppliers, EBID’s own developments or facilitate the integration of future needs;

have a high level of flexibility and configuration, i.e. the creation of new management rules should not necessitate computer developments, but settings by EBID, except in some complex cases or specific to the needs of the Bank;

provide ergonomic user interfaces and optimized navigation interfaces for easy user acceptance;

allow real-time information consultation and have a powerful reporting tool with advanced settings capabilities, giving users a wide range of autonomy in terms of generation of analysis and control tools (Dashboards, etc.);

the system shall offer the management possibility of : - multi-Entities; - multi-Currencies; - Multi-Languages.

the system shall require support for electronic approval functionalities (workflow management) and management of electronic documents (EDM) ;

the system should also provide a development environment, a test and quality control environment, and a production environment.

4.1 MANAGEMENT OF THE RÉFÉRENCE SYSTEM

An ERP requires general settings to function normally. This information, which is used by all

the modules of the ERP, is managed and stored specially in a repository system.

Thus, a number of administrative settings must be defined for optimal system management:

Page 11: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR PROCUREMENT OF A HUMAN RESOURCES ... · PDF fileTERMS OF REFERENCE FOR PROCUREMENT OF A ... (HRIS) for EBID. It ... development in West Africa and an effective

ECOWAS BANK FOR INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR PROCUREMENT

accounting entities;

types of contracts: permanent contracts CDI, fixed-term contracts CDD, temporary contracts;

occupational categories;

country of residence,

etc.

As regards third parties, these may be employees of the Bank, suppliers, the State and its

departments, etc. They are uniquely identified in the reference systems at the very beginning

and their status can change during the transaction.

Each third party is categorized by a certain number of attributes defining its status as a

corporate or legal entity (administrative, regulatory, commercial data, etc.) and according to

the typology of the third party, these data may be made compulsory through data capture,

depending on the setting chosen by the Bank.
