For more information, visit https://www.worldbank.org/en/who-we-are/ibrd The Governance unit in Eastern Africa (EAEG1) is part of the Prosperity Department. The unit’s work program includes Public Sector Management where we help countries build capable, efficient, open, inclusive and accountable institutions as well as Financial Management where we provide fiduciary assurance of World Bank financed operations. With the increased lending portfolio in the region as well as the drive to manage fiduciary risks in an efficient and effective manner, the need to provide robust financial management support to task teams as well as capacity building and technical assistance to client governments in the area of financial management have become very critical. To achieve these goals, EAEG1 strengthened the FM team of the unit by converting selected Short Term Consultants (STCs) into Extended Term Consultants (ETCs). At the time three STCs could not be converted due to technical reasons that have since been resolved. This Terms of Reference (TOR) describes the duties and responsibilities of the ST being converted to ETC in the Tanzania Country Management Unit (CMU).
