ITDP therefore solicits proposals from interested individuals to conduct the assessment and establish effective HR protocols for ITDP’s Africa office. The consultant will need to reference ITDP’s organisational policies and procedures, and all work must consider the local cultural context and labour laws.

Carry out a survey to compare ITDP salary and benefits levels with suitable comparators. Present survey findings and recommendations related to remuneration and benefits packages. Develop a framework with which rational revisions in salary structures can be made in response to changing organisation structures, staff roles, and market conditions.
  • Review and update the existing organisational structure of the Africa office. Conceptualise a new structure that can incorporate flexible subject-area verticals and develop a transition plan.
  • Review applicable HR handbooks and propose updates.
