Familiar with RAMSAR Information System, GIS, satellite imaging Background In Uganda, Wetlands International (WI) engages in the 2011-2015 DIGIS funded Dutch WASH Alliance (DWA) Programme (http://www.washalliance.nl). The program aims to empower people by building and strengthening an enabling environment for sustainable WASH1 solutions achieving increased sustainable access for women and marginalized groups in developing countries. The programme will be implemented along three strategic approaches: adopt an integrated WASH approach, consider all five FIETS sustainability principles (Financial, Institutional, Environmental, Technical and Social) and strengthen CSOs to cooperate and play facilitating role. Currently WI supports an Environmental (E) sustainability pilot project in Uganda, implemented by Ruwenzori based NGO JESE2 which focuses on the integration of wetland management, water harvesting and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) issues by taking a landscape approach within the Rwambu catchment in Rwenzori region (more info, see http://akvo.org/rsr/project/439). Environmental Sustainability (E within FIETS approach) For the Dutch WASH Alliance the element of environmental sustainability implies placing WASH interventions in the wider context of the (natural) environment and implementing an approach of integrated and sustainable management of water and waste(-water) flows and resources. Key actors of civil society, public and private sector are aware of the linkage between WASH and the natural environment and are capable of balancing environmental and development aspects and needs into their strategies and interventions. The WASH Alliance works towards ensuring integrity and functioning of the natural ecosystem in which WASH interventions take place and upon which local livelihoods (both rural and urban) depend. Within DWA, WI jointly with RAIN Foundation (http://rainfoundation.org/index.php) guide and support on the E element with knowledge base, tools, services, lobby and pilot projects.

2/3
Uganda E sustainability context and WASH project development opportunities Particularly in Uganda, circumstances are favourable when it comes to integrating wetland ecosystem services approach into WASH projects. This as on the one hand there exists extensive wetland system knowledge and understanding and recognition of the role wetlands can play in f.e. water supply and purification (i.e. Nakivubo case). Uganda is one of the few countries in Africa who has specific wetland focused policy and legislation in place. On the other hand there are development players appreciating the environmental angle of looking for solutions to problems they want to fight. African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF; http://www.amref.org/where-we-work/our-work-in-uganda) is a good example in this. Next to the ongoing pilot project, both AMREF and RAIN have identified project development opportunities in areas that have wetland related issues at its base that need to be taken into account for sustainable WASH intervention planning and implementation. Below a short outline of the involved areas are listed: KAWEMPE AMREF has received fund for an urban sanitation project in Kawempe area which is situated in a wetland area close to Kampala. AMREF recognises that in the absence of adequate sewerage systems in this area, the wetland needs to deal with waste and untreated wastewater which is posing both a threat to the conservation of this wetland area as well as for public health. AMREF Uganda might be open to explore with RAIN Foundation and WI on a content-focused contribution to this project especially how to work with the occurring landscape features in order to do (better) WASH planning. NTOROKO Local NGO JESE will work with RAIN Foundation and URWA in another area in Rwenzori region in Uganda. This is Ntoroko, an area having problems with water storage and flood water management. Both RAIN and JESE feel that they can use the expertise of WI for this location. No funds are available yet to finance a project in this area but RAIN supports the development of a feasibility study. SOROTI RAIN has explored with CordAid on collaboration; Soroti f.e. is a location where RAIN sees need for WI to engage in case RAIN and CordAid start linking 3R (water recharge, retention & reuse) concept with WASH. RWAMBU CATCHMENT E-PILOT The current Environmental Sustainability pilot project in Rwambu Catchment area needs monitoring and guidance from the wetland perspective (too). Currently RAIN is monitoring the project.

Strategic Action Plan to Implement the Electronic Single Window in Uganda

Reference: PXUGA0683
Location: Uganda
Duration: 80 person days / 16 person weeks
Closing Date: 28 Jun 2013


Background

The Commonwealth Secretariat has been approached by the Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives for technical assistance to develop a framework to establish an Electronic Single Window (ESW) for trade facilitation. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives is the main national focal point for trade facilitation in Uganda.

Uganda is a landlocked country whose development depends on transit solutions in neighbouring countries in order to access gateways to international markets.

According to data collected by Doing Business, exporting a standard container of goods requires seven documents, takes 37 days and costs $2880. Importing the same container of goods requires nine documents, takes 34 days and costs $3015. Globally, Uganda stands at 158 in the ranking of 183 economies on ease of trading across borders.

Key trade facilitation issues of concern include both at-the-border and behind-the-border processes. At-the-border measures include customs and trade documents, customs clearance procedures, border control and release of goods. Behind-the-border measures include product standards and conformity assessment measures, e-commerce, trade finance and transport and marketing logistics services.

This intervention will focus on addressing issues relating to the implementation of an electronic single window in support of establishing appropriate mechanisms to enable Uganda to participate effectively in the global trading system. As a result of this intervention, Uganda will be able to establish an efficient environment for the exchange and processing of trade-related documentation, and subsequently reduce time and cost for clearing and moving consignments by simplifying many of the steps involved in international trade systems.

Purpose of the project

The overall purpose of this project is to enhance the trade competitiveness of Uganda through improvements to its trade logistics systems and processes.

The main objective of the project is to develop a framework on establishing an Electronic Single Window for trade facilitation in Uganda. This will be done by assessing current procedures and information systems for international trade and developing an effective plan to implement electronic single window in Uganda. The intended output of the project will be in the form of an action plan, which will include recommendations for short, medium and long term strategies. These recommendations will aim to support Uganda in its efforts to implement electronic single window system to facilitate trade.

Scope of work

The consultant(s) will work closely with the Project Manager from the Special Advisory Services Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat and, using internationally acknowledged methodology, will perform the following tasks:

Mapping of trade related procedures- review and analyze current documentation, processing and clearance process
Identification of ICT strategies necessary to establish an ESW
Assessment of the e-readiness for establishing ESW
Identification of legal and regulatory functions necessary to operate an ESW
Recommendations on short, medium and long term strategies that should be put in place to establish an electronic single window for trade facilitation
Conduct two stakeholder consultation workshops
Preparation of detailed action plan, budget and strategy for implementation of a single window system
Identification of key reforms necessary to implement an ESW
Output

Framework to establish an Electronic Single Window for trade facilitation in Uganda
Short, medium and long term strategies required to establish an electronic single window for trade facilitation
Action plan, budget and strategy for implementation of a single window system
Expected project outcomes

Improved service levels from Government trade related agencies in the trade logistics supply chain
Introduction of simplified and harmonized customs procedures
Development of a successful business model to implement Single Electronic Window
Reduction in bureaucracy and business facilitation delays
Key performance indicators

* All project deliverables produced within budget and schedules
* Interim Outputs and final reports accepted by the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives and the other key stakeholders
Duration and project budget

The duration of this consultancy is expected to be 16 person weeks. The proposed project budget is an all-inclusive fee of £44,400.00 (includes fees, subsistence allowance, air travel expenses, applicable taxes including VAT, incidentals and any other project related costs).

Required expertise

Proven international expertise and minimum of 5 years’ experience in Trade Facilitation, Logistics and Customs
