Individual Consultant (IC) to Develop an Integrated and Digitalized Statistical Information System for STATAFRIC

Under the Eastern Africa Regional Statistics Program-for-Results (EARSPforR), the African Union Commission / STATAFRIC seeks a qualified individual consultant to design, develop and implement an integrated and digitalized statistical information system connecting national statistical offices (NSOs), regional economic communities (RECs), and continental-level repositories. African statistical data management systems are currently fragmented, heterogeneous, and insufficiently interoperable, constraining efficient exchange, consolidation, and dissemination of reliable statistics.

Objectives: conduct a structured diagnostic assessment of existing data management systems and information flows; design a scalable, modular, interoperable architecture; develop and deploy a functional platform covering data ingestion, integration, governance, visualization and dissemination; establish secure, standards-compliant data exchange mechanisms between NSOs, RECs and STATAFRIC (aligned with the parallel Continental Statistical Database consultancy); define data governance policies, metadata standards and quality assurance procedures; and build institutional capacity through training and knowledge transfer. Deliverables (D1-D7, ~120 days) include an inception report, diagnostic assessment, system architecture design, operational platform/prototype, data exchange & interoperability guidelines, training materials, and a final implementation report.

Required qualifications: an advanced university degree (Master's minimum) in Information Systems, Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics or a related field; a minimum of ten (10) years of experience designing and implementing large-scale information systems or data platforms; demonstrated experience in statistical/open data platforms, data interoperability (APIs, data exchange protocols, pipelines), metadata standards (SDMX, DDI), and data governance; and experience in needs assessments and capacity building. Assets include prior work with AU institutions/RECs/NSOs, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), familiarity with international statistical standards, and English/French proficiency. Technical competencies span relational/NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), REST/SOAP API development, ETL pipelines, data visualization (Power BI, Tableau, D3.js), security best practices, and version control (Git). Applications are evaluated on a 100-point scale with a minimum passing technical score of 70. A consultant will be selected under the Individual Consultant selection method of the World Bank Procurement Regulations.

HOW TO APPLY:
Submit a written Expression of Interest (in person or by mail) before 05 August 2026 at 15:00 Local Time, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. EoIs must mention reference number "TN-STATAFRIC-AUC-481115-CS-INDV" in the subject field. Submit: a technical proposal (max 15 pages) with understanding of the assignment, methodology, work plan and relevant experience; an updated CV with at least three professional references; at least two samples of similar work; and copies of relevant academic and professional certificates. Address: African Union Commission, Attn: Head, Supply Chain Management Division - Operations Support Services Directorate, Building C, 3rd Floor, P.O Box 3243, Roosevelt Street, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
