PURPOSE
Caritas Zambia (CZ) is seeking an external consultant or consulting firm to provide technical assistance in reviewing and revising its cost structure and policy. The goal is to ensure the appropriate classification of costs as either direct or indirect. CZ aims to establish a standard procedure for allocating direct and indirect costs to project contracts and document this process in the Indirect Cost Recovery (ICR) and Cost Allocation policies. These policies are intended to enable Caritas Zambia to recover full overhead costs, strengthen the organization’s financial management and viability, secure adequate funding for unrestricted income, enhance resilience, and ultimately improve long-term sustainability and preparedness. The implementation of the ICR and Cost Allocation policies and procedures will enhance Caritas Zambia’s financial management, transparency, and accountability, while also increasing compliance with international and local donor requirements. This will assist the organization in fulfilling its mandates more effectively and efficiently. The policies will standardize finance and accounting practices related to cost allocation and recovery, ensuring consistency and providing guidance to management and finance staff in achieving full recovery of both direct and indirect costs. Additionally, the policies will encourage a high level of compliance with established procedures. Any analysis of the cost structure, as well as the ICR and Cost Allocation policies and related documents produced, will be the property of Caritas Zambia. The organization reserves the right to make modifications, amendments, and additions as needed without requiring external permission or approval.

1. INTRODUCTION
Caritas Zambia in collaboration with CSO DAN, is implementing the “Action to Accelerate Decentralisation through Advocacy” project with support from the USAID Local Impact Governance Project. The project intends to deliver on two objectives: 1. Galvanize CSO-DAN member organizations to carry out advocacy on decentralisation; 2. Promote opportunities for dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders in the decentralisation sector.
The “project is premised on the fact that while the current government has shown commitment to decentralization, some of the existing laws and policies do not align with the constitutional provisions on decentralisation and thus create challenges and bottlenecks in fully implementing decentralisation. The project is therefore riding on the positive political will and commitment so far exhibited by government to realize the decentralisation policy objectives and accelerate decentralisation policy implementation. The project is biased towards accelerating decentralisation by influencing policy and legislative reform through advocacy. As part of its advocacy agenda, Caritas Zambia working in collaboration with CSO-DAN secretariat will commission a series of policy briefs on decentralisation issues as highlighted in the developed policy briefs and propose possible solutions to address the gaps identified.
