The Civil Service Strengthening Project (CSSP) supports the Government of Somaliland (GoSL) to improve capacity to perform key government functions, strengthen its policy capabilities and improve civil service management including support to improve institutional, organizational and individual level capacity to improve public sector performance. Organizational performance is directly dependent on the quality of staff performing well-defined functions on the basis of clearly defined mandates and availability of appropriate tools and enabling work conditions.

The activities under this assignment will be carried out jointly by a central organization design team in the Civil Service commission and reform teams in each of the participating institutions.
The objective of this assignment is to provide technical assistance to support a diagnostic assessment of the organizational set up of MDAs focusing on their mandates, functions, and organizational structures, staffing requirements and administrative policies, processes and systems.
The result of the organizational assessment will facilitate the identification of critical and strategic positions to be filled through the Talent Management Program (TMP).
