About the Job
Connexus Corporation (www.connexuscorporation.com) seeks a Senior Public Financial Management Specialist to propose as a long-termer on USAID/Nigeria’s upcoming State2State project. The project aims to increase the effectiveness, accountability and transparency of selected state and local governments in Nigeria, beginning in Sokoto, Bauchi and a third state in year 1 and expanding to three more states within the 5 year project.
The activity design is based on the following development hypothesis: If the efficiency and sustainability of state and local governments are increased and they are better able to provide services that address the priorities of their citizens while mitigating potential sources of conflict, then subnational governance in Nigeria will be more accountable, transparent and effective.
The core objective of the project will be to support the reform of state and local governance to improve delivery of public services, especially related to primary health care, basic education and water, sanitation and hygiene services. Emphasis will be on various aspects of public financial management, such as: budget planning, implementation and execution; budget transparency; domestic resource mobilization; procurement reform; internal controls; audit; and monitoring and evaluation.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
The role of Long-term Public Financial Management (PFM) Specialist will support State2States’ objective by working closely with local and state authorities to develop and strengthen PFM systems, policies, and procedures. These activities will be grouped under the following three components: 1) Domestic Revenue Mobilization and Management; 2) Budget Planning and Execution; and 3) other PFM priorities or initiatives identified in coordination with the Government of Nigeria and USAID.
This position requires extensive experience in economic analysis and forecasting, knowledge and experience working on public budgets, ability to provide technical assistance on policy development and implementation, and to assist with revenue forecasting. The PFM Specialist will manage and oversee the work on other local PFM advisors and will report directly to the project’s Chief of Party.
