Strengthening National Infrastructure Agency Corporate Governance
As part of the UK Prosperity Fund (PF) projects under its scope, CAF—development bank of Latin America—is interested in receiving proposals for the project “Strengthening Corporate Governance of the National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) to improve administrative standards and processes and introduce the gender and inclusion approach in the institution and its Board of Directors”
The specific objectives of the consultancy include:
- To perform a corporate governance diagnosis of the Board of Directors of ANI in order to establish the main governance risks.
- To identify and prioritize best practices to manage identified risks, including new contract models adopted by the agency, and to communicate to the various decision-makers the commitments they must assume to strengthen ANI’s corporate governance.
- To update and make recommendations for an effective implementation of activities aimed at reinforcing the current corporate governance model of ANI.
- To develop formal procedures for the application of the adjusted risk identification and assessment methodology established in ANI for high-level corporate and project decision-making.
- To propose the adoption of a control structure in the risk management component of the agency’s corporate governance.
- To design a corporate governance structure that includes the gender and inclusion approach in administrative and decision-making processes of the Board of Directors.
- To build a gender-focused action plan, which allows the agency to adopt a gender equality policy across all its processes and procedures.
- To design and implement the corporate governance program in the relevant departments.
- To raise awareness among the relevant departments and entities about corporate governance.
- To build a citizen oversight structure for the implementation of measures.
- To evaluate the results of the implementation of the Corporate Governance Program for ANI one year and then one year a half after implementation.
