  Description: The UNICEF Zimbabwe Country Office is seeking Expression of Interest (EOI) from firms to pre-qualify suitable firms which will be invited to submit proposals to enter into an institutional contract to offer services for Holistic Organizational Development for Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education. The specific Terms of Reference for the required services will be described in detail in the relevant RFP(s) when issued.
  
  Background:
  
  Zimbabwe currently occupies a leadership position in education development on the African continent, with very high access and participation rates, delivery of high quality education, and a literacy rate that stands close to 92 percent. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) has ensured the existence of structures, staff, policies, processes and procedures that have given the education system remarkable resilience. For this reason, the system has remained strong despite the economic crisis that characterized the post-2000 period.
  
  In recent years, the education system has been subjected to new pressures and demands from several quarters. It is acknowledged that, MoPSE’s overall performance has been good, but there are areas that require further strengthening in order to successfully implement current and future reforms.
  
  Scope of the Assignment:
  The team of technical experts is expected to provide technical assistance, within an institutional setting, for a range of related HOD activities that cover the different facets of MoPSE’s functions and operations, including the environment in which it operates. This organisational review will generate information for the identification of components where MoPSE’s organisational capacity needs to be strengthened as well as the strategies or approaches to be used. Right from the beginning, focus will be on fostering shared understandings among players within MoPSE, and thus begin the process of building a culture that supports the delivery of quality education services in line with the ESSP priorities.
  
  Qualifications
  The institutions that that wish to be considered for the provision of technical support for MoPSE’s HOD should have a mix of competencies that cover the broad range of OD processes. Institutions must provide details of qualifications, samples of reports on similar organizational review, and a work profile of the team leader and other team members. The team should meet the following minimum criteria:
  At least 15 years organisational development related work, at least five of which should be in international developing country contexts; A team leader with at least a Master’s Degree in the social sciences and demonstrated expertise in organisational development; Knowledge of behavioural sciences and/or management, preferably with a strong component in organisational development; Familiarity with public sector organizations and government ministries; Proven experience in public sector reform as well as organizational design and development with bias towards OD techniques; Expertise in organisational analysis and presentation of findings of such analysis; Ability to fully engage and work with MoPSE senior staff and leadership, and to stimulate active participation by players at all levels; Ability to and write analytic reports; Good communication skills, with fluency in spoken and written English, preferably with knowledge of Shona and/or Ndebele; and Proven track record of documenting processes and producing excellent analytic reports.
  Prior work in support organizational development of education ministries is an asset.
