About TMG
Transition Monitoring Group
(TMG) is the foremost independent election observation group in Nigeria.
Established in 1998 as a non-profit, TMG is now estimated to have over
400 member-organizations in its coalition located in all six
geopolitical zones and all 36 states plus the FCT (Federal Capital
Territory). TMG and its members are committed to the entrenchment of
democracy in Nigeria after more than 30 years of repressive rule. TMG’s
approach to the rights, responsibilities, and ethical obligations of
non-partisan citizen election monitoring are drawn from the “Declaration
of Global Principles for Nonpartisan Election Observation and
Monitoring by Citizen Organizations.” Thus, TMG bases its work on the
precepts that: 1) the authority of government derives from the will of
the people expressed in genuinely democratic elections; 2) everyone has
the right to participate in government and public affairs, including by
seeking to be elected and to vote in genuinely democratic elections; and
3) elections therefore belong to the people, and citizens have a right
to know. TMG is a member of the Global Network of Domestic Election
Monitors (GNDEM), as well as the West African Election Observer Network
(WAEON). The TMG coalition is also committed to enhanced citizen
participation and good governance through programs in the area of civic
education and advocacy.

Currently, TMG does not have in

manual being very basic and not addressing fundamental program
management aspects such as design, planning, monitoring and evaluation

conceptualized, developed and implemented as well as how the program
monitoring is done. Thus, the program may not achieve the desired
objectives or better still better results may not be obtained.
In this respect, World Learning
proposes to bring on board a consultant to support with the development
of the program management manual. The consultant will work closely with

Develop proposals on how best to
strengthen the TMG program management systems with focus on the gaps
identified. This should be in the form of an action plan.
Develop a program management
manual incorporating best practice standards in program management. The
manual should document the entire program management system covering the

implementation, M & E and end of program transition.

integration of gender aspects in program implementation.

effectively implement the program. World Learning did an organization
capacity assessment and identified management as a key area of weakness.

institutional management practices. The consultant will work closely
