The Services will involve the supply of specialist consultant(s) into the CMA over at least a two year period to work closely with its management to review and implement the recommendations of a scoping exercise carried out in mid-2014 into how to build Islamic finance markets in Kenya. The PMO will be housed at the CMA and will lead coordination of a cross-financial sector programme which includes regulatory reform, the establishment of a National Shariah Supervisory Board, capacity building and awareness raising.
This procurement is being managed jointly by CMA and FSDA and the successful bidder will ultimately be contracted by FSDA.
