Uganda: Consultant for Comprehensive Job Evaluation Exercise for Nile Basin Initiative

In 2012, NBI carried out a comprehensive Salaries and Benefits Survey, with the help of a Consultant. However, the findings of the study have not been implemented because NBI had not conducted an effective job Analysis and Evaluation exercise to establish the real worth of jobs within its organization structure. The NBI now seeks to hire an Individual Human Resource Consultant to support a comprehensive Job Analysis and Job Evaluation of NBI jobs and revise the salary structure appropriate to NBI as a river basin organization., so that they can be aligned to the findings of the said Salaries and Benefits Survey.

The specific objectives of the consultancy are as follows:

(i) To revise the salary structure appropriate to NBI as a river basin organization, address inequities and disparities in similar functions performed in different locations, and set the foundation for implementation of current HR initiatives in the area of performance management and talent management with the aim of retaining high performing staff members.

(ii) To undertake a comprehensive Job Analysis and Job Evaluation of NBI jobs and ensure alignment of remuneration, functions and grade levels, taking into account the basic concept of equal pay for equal value of work
