Subject: Poverty and Social Impact Analysis:Request For Consultants!!!
Dear Colleagues,
As you may know substantial resources (about 6 million dollars) have been
allocated for conducting Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA) in FY04.
A large number of these PSIA are to be conducted in the Africa region.
Accordingly, the Social Analysis & Policy Team (Social Development
Department)is working to identify consultants and organizations with
experience in the social analysis of policy reforms in order to strengthen
the network of qualified consultants to carry out this work.
As you may know, PSIA employs a combination of social and economic methods
for the analysis of policy reforms, including stakeholder analysis,
institutional analysis, social risk analysis, benefit incidence analysis,
economic modeling etc. It is based on both quantitative and qualitative
analysis. Up until now PSIA has been carried out by multidisciplinary teams
of social scientists: anthropologists, policy analysts, institutional
specialists and economists.
More information on PSIA, is summarized in the Bank website:
www.worldbank.org/poverty/psia.
With this letter, we are kindly asking for your assistance in our effort to
identify experts to conduct PSIA. We would appreciate your suggestions of
any particularly strong consultants, institutes, or organizations you have
worked with and can recommend, with a particular focus on some of the more
common policy areas that have been subject to PSIA, highlighted in the
attached annex.
Although individual task team leaders will be looking for different sets of
skills for different PSIAs, there are some cross-cutting aspects that are
of particular interest. Crucial skills include relevant experience in the
sector of policy reform, expertise in providing quality control of
methodologically robust policy analysis, the ability to combine both
quantitative and qualitative analysis, experience in field work connected to
policy change, and a track record working with government officials and
supervising local research teams in developing countries.
After a careful review, the most qualified candidates will be included in a
roster for internal use within the Bank.
Thank you.
Please, send your resume to Lusine Kharatyan: lkharatyan@worldbank.org and
Sarah Keener(Skeener@worldbank.org)
