UN staff to oppose new city status

February 26, 2010 / brandkemistry / Leave a comment

The UN Staff are opposing the elevation of Nairobi to B status from the current C status. They content that Nairobi is not a safe city and thus they should continue being paid their hardship allowance.

We all know why they are opposed to the cities elevation, it due to the fact that thier hardship allowance will reduce and they wont be able to lounge all Friday long in the clubs they usually do. Well every bad/good thing does come to an end, just let it go…here is the article from the Daily Nation.

UN staff opposed to the elevation of Nairobi to a higher status have scheduled a meeting next week to push for the reversal of the decision.

Workers who did not wish to be named for fear of reprisals said they would use next Thursday’s monthly staff meeting to lobby for the reclassification of the city back to what it used to be.

Nairobi hosts UN Habitat and United Nations Environmental Programme headquarters.

Allowances

The elevation of Nairobi from Category C to B by the International Civil Service Commission, the body that handles all employment issues for the UN, took effect on January 1.

In justifying the move, ICSC argued that living conditions in the city had improved tremendously, a view that was supported by the government.

However, staff who spoke to the Nation deny the claim that the city standards have improved. They also opposed the move as it would mean a reduction of their hardship allowances.

Terms of Reference for a Consultancy Services
Title of Consultancy: Development of HelpAge International – Africa Regional Development Center’s (HelpAge-ARDC) Partners Management Manual
Background
HelpAge International has a vision of a world in which all older people fulfil their potential to lead dignified, active, healthy and secure lives. HelpAge International’s mission is to work with its partners to ensure that people everywhere understand how much older people contribute to society and that they must enjoy their right to healthcare, social services and economic and physical security. Globally HelpAge International’s work is organised in the following thematic areas:
• Secured Income
• HIV/AIDS and Health
• Emergencies and Recovery
• The Global Movement

Established in 1983 by five organisations in Kenya, UK, India, Canada and Colombia, HelpAge works with more than 70 affiliates and partners in more than 200 countries.
In Africa, HelpAge International’s work is coordinated through the Africa Regional Development centre (ARDC) based in Nairobi. The ARDC supports organizations of older people, engages in policy at local and national level, manages and supports programme implementation by affiliates and partners and coordinates the overall networking of organizations of older people.
As part of “Strengthening community support to older carers of OVC and PLWHAs” programme funded by Academy for Educational Development, Capable Partners Program (AED/CAP Kenya), HelpAge International is implementing a range of institutional strengthening activities to its grantees and is working to improve its own capacity needs as provided by the project funded by AED. The Services of a consultant are therefore sought to develop a Partners Management Manual, that has been identified by HelpAge as a priority need as per the ToR given in this document.
The objective of the Partner Management Manual is to provide a framework for consistent management and support to partners with whom HelpAge has diverse relationship including:
• Sub-granting – where HelpAge is funding project activities with affiliates and partners and is accountable to a donor(s) and is expected to comply to a specific contract (s) as well as reinforcing generally accepted good practices and standards of financial and programme management.

• Affiliates – Manage relationships with affiliates who are officially subscribing members of the network but may or may not have project funding at any one time.
2

• Sister organizations – organizations that have gone high up in a continuum of relationship and are using the HelpAge brand with implication for risk of credibility when organizations are faced with challenges.

It is hoped the manual will provide options for formalizing the management of the partners that have different levels of relationship with HelpAge to ensure there is a mutually agreed process to handle mis-understanding and conflict and improve relationship.
The task
The main task is to support HelpAge – ARDC in developing a Partner Management Manual that is in line with its structure with emphasis on a global movement that works through partners to increase the visibility of older people, ensure down ward accountability (both to the older people, donors and other stakeholders) and acceptable institutional compliance standards.
The consultant will be required to outline the content of the manual based on the following:
• Various policies and guidelines of HelpAge International globally but also HelpAge ARDC including but not limited to.
o Procurement policy
o Human Resource policy
o Contract Management procedures
o Finance manual

• Hold consultation meetings with various key staff – Programme staff, Finance staff, support staff (such as M&E, Resource Development, and Contract Management) and the senior management team.

The consultant is expected to initially send an expression of interest with a detailed capability statement (providing evidence of similar work undertaken by the consultant), the proposed way of delivering on this task together with an indication of the professional fees.
Outputs:
The consultant is expected to develop a partners’ management manual within 15 days.
Management
The consultant will report to the Regional Programme Manager and work closely with the programme and finance and administration staff. The consultant will in addition work closely with senior management team during the development of the assignment.
Total fee payable: is as spelled in the agreement
The fees will be payable on intervals spelled out in the contract agreement between the consultant and HelpAge.
Tax Liability
Settlement of any tax liability arising from this agreement will remain the responsibility of the consultant. Additionally any fee agreed with the consultant is subject to withholding tax of 5% payable to the Kenya Revenue Authority. 3
Amendment / Discontinuation of the Agreement:
HelpAge will enter into a formal professional services agreement with the selected consultant on the basis of assessed expression of interest(s) and subsequent negotiations. The agreement will specify the deliverables expected from the consultant and the timeframe for each of the deliverables which will form the basis for monitoring the agreement.
HelpAge will reserve the right to discontinue the agreement in the event of failure to implement the task or to deliver the agreed outputs or to meet the timeframe. If such discontinuation happens, HelpAge will have the right not to release the funds to the consultant.

Time for other market players to grab market share from G4S

February 24, 2010 / brandkemistry / Leave a comment

Well G4S has been having big problems with its CIT business in what we’d call a credibility problem. After losing a sizeable chunk of money while in transit, the latest loss in Mombasa of over 100 million shillings has brought back the spot light to shine firmly on G4S.

As G4S fumble with their response, what should the other players in the market be doing? Of course there is no better opportunity than now to increase their market share at the expense of G4S. That’s what any smart Sales and Marketing manager should be doing.This is the time to innovate and introduce new ways of doing business that do bring back confidence into CIT services.

So its with this as a background that KK Security launched thier new list of innovations in the market as is here http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Company%20Industry/-/539550/867652/-/item/1/-/f0ontr/-/index.html

Isn’t it time the rest followed suit, its a one time opportunity to get your name there and take up some market share…before G4S gets its house in order then the task will be a whole lot harder.

Intrepid Data Systems Launches Real Time Online Mobile Money Solution

February 23, 2010 / brandkemistry / 3 Comments

22 February 2010 Nairobi, Kenya, Intrepid Data Systems – a homegrown IT design firm today announced the launch of its new real time online mobile money solution – iPay. The innovative and easy-to-use product incorporates the popular M-Pesa and Zap modes of money transfer to enable customers to buy and sell goods and services across Africa via their mobile phones.

iPay is designed and targeted to online merchants to enable them receive payments through an alternative means other than the traditional method of credit cards. While any business can use the product to receive payments, it’s the businesses that deliver their product in a digital format such as music stores, online book stored, publishers, video libraries, consultancies, donor-supported organisations, and premium content providers that will benefit the most from this new platform.

Speaking about the new product, Philip Nyamwaya, Business Development Manager at Intrepid said, “We designed iPay to offer our clientele a simple, easy-to-use online payment platform at a price that they can afford.”

Some of the advantages of using iPay include ability to track payments using existing shopping cart software (Joomla, Virtuemart), ease of account opening and order management, as well as creation of printable receipts and orders for better record keeping.

Managing Director of Intrepid, Mr. Steve Nyumba said, “Today, more than 15 million Kenyans who own mobile phones have instant access to mobile-based tools, our big idea was to package MPESA and ZAP – the two most popular money transfer systems into an online transaction processing system that would allow online merchants, service providers, not-for-profit organisations, branding agencies and consulting companies to receive real-time payments off a secure platform that serves this region and beyond.”

“With the advent of fibre optic technology in Kenya, and the reduction in Internet access bandwidth tariffs, we see greater awareness towards the power of the Internet to transform the way business is done in (and with) Kenya,” concluded Mr. Nyamwaya.

Intrepid Data Systems is a dynamic enterprise productivity and creative digital branding firm whose mission is to provide affordable, accessible, enterprise and web-based solutions to small, medium and large businesses across Africa and beyond. Intrepid’s key service areas include developing and reselling tried and tested systems, (for instance corporate Intranet platforms, business continuity planning, website development, web hosting, online marketing, and web site maintenance).
