TO ALL SANGONeT USERS

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: BASELINE MATRIX OF AID COMMITMENTS

The African Monitor is looking for a suitably qualified organization or
individual(s) to carry out a monitoring study to map out development funding
commitments made to Africa since 2005.

About the African Monitor:

The African Monitor  is an independent continental body set up to act as a
catalyst to monitor development funding commitments, delivery and impact on
the grassroots, and to bring strong additional African voices to the
development agenda. African Monitor aims to bring together targeted
monitoring of development commitments to Africa and including grassroots
monitoring of development performance in key sectors.

Title of the Activity

AM Baseline Matrix of Aid Commitments to Africa 

Description of the Activity

The African Monitor is developing a baseline matrix to map out funding
commitments by traditional and emerging donors to Africa. The Matrix will:-

* Outline promises and pledges made to Africa since 2005
* Track the extent to which promises and pledges relating to development
have been converted to actual commitments; 
* Identify and record commitments made by African Governments to support
development activities, particularly at grassroots, since 2005

The Matrix will be used by the AM as a tracking tool for existing and coming
promises.

Duration of the activity
The project will be over a two-month period, from November - December 2006
and is to be submitted on 31 December.

Additional Information:
The AM foresees that the study will be the first step of a long term process
of monitoring and tracking funding commitments to Africa.  For this reason,
it is expected that the study will be fairly quick and modestly resourced.
