Introduction
Motivation to the Consultants’ Mission:
Characteristics of the Consultants’ Mission:
The Lake Chad Basin Commission (=LCBC) finds itself
under increasing pressure from member states and
donor organizations, demanding LCBC to better fulfil
their mandate for a sustainable water resource
management in the Lake Chad Basin. The restructuring
of the organization has been made a precondition by
donor organizations prior to further financial
commitments. To become more effective and efficient in
its work with a focus on providing useful services to the
countries and prepare products that are scientifically
sound and rigorous, are some of the requirements. This
is aimed at improving the recognition and the acceptance
of LCBC among its member states as a centre of
expertise in issues particularly but not only related to
water. It is both distinct institutional weaknesses and
budget constraints that lead to the current situation.
There had been 2 parts:
1- December 2008: Listen to the views, the experience of
the LCBC directors and staff on site. In workshops with
Technical & Administration Management: Identify key
functions for each organisational unit. Define needs and
requirement for an efficient new LCBC organisation.
2 – January 2009: Discuss propositions on new positions,
salary structure & recruitment process. Complete job
profiles. Collect administrative & financial data. Check
CEMAC/CICOS/ECOWAS references.
In agreement with the Executive Secretary and the
directors, a pragmatic approach has been designed with
the priority on what is necessary to launch the recruitment
process and to free the way for a new and efficient LCBC.
Objectives the Consultants’ Mission:
Based on the institutional study (“La Roche report”) and the
organizational chart adopted by the Council of Ministers in
June 2008, the consultants had been asked to
- Propose detailed organizational chart and staffing profiles
2
- Make concrete recommendations to salaries and budget,
and the organisational performance of the LCBC
- Propose staff recruitment rules and process
Acknowledgements
Both Consultants, Annette Müller-Roth and Martina Pulver,
would like to thank the Executive Secretary, the Directors
and the whole LCBC staff for their cordial reception and their
keen cooperation.
Furthermore we would like to thank the members of other
LCBC projects for
their support.

Ad Inclusivity and Political Governance
1.
2.
The LCBC vision 2025 calls on Regional and
National Authorities to take responsibility for
natural resources, biodiversity and the Basin‟s
ecosystem; the LCBC can help to understand
how to do that, but it lays in the hands of the
Member States and the Authorities to translate
LCBC‟s recommendations into action. A wellequipped and functioning National Focal Point
is one proof that a Member state takes on this
responsibility.
3.
Political Legitimacy is a key function of an
inclusive organisation. A 1st urgent milestone
would be the successful harmonization of
national policies on water and environment
before the 11th Ramsar Conference in 2011
(as recommended by Resolution N° 9 of the
54th Ordinary Session, in Abuja, March 2008).
4.
Inclusivity is a result of regular, formal or
informal exchange and networking with all
stakeholders in the Basin. These
communication lines have to be made
transparent to all actors (hence to be included
in the activity report once a year).
Political trust is an absolute precondition for an
international organisation like the LCBC.
Another sine qua non is regular funding to ensure
basic functioning of the LCBC.
Political trust and regular funding are the two sides
of the same coin.
So far, the latter has not been achieved yet: By the
end of 2007, less than 20% of the agreed
receivables had been paid!

The consultants pledge to urgently find a new
equitable and sustainable mechanism to
guarantee the continuous funding of LCBC.
6
(During the 54th Ordinary Session of the Council of
Ministers, the Commissioners had already called for a
study on other financing mechanisms of the LCBC, cf.
Resolution N°7 – the consultant ignores any
achievements in this matter so far).

Ad Competence, Effectiveness and Functional Governance
1.
Establishing a well-functioning website including an intranet to store and share knowledge and
experience will be an important milestone; the new LCBC management should be made accountable
for its completion by the end of the next exercise (2010).
2.
Competence without effectiveness is a “toothless” tiger. If the Political Governance is not materialised
through the introduction and monitoring of scientifically correct and internationally acceptable norms
and standards, the LCBC will be a helpless body, loosing its credibility.
3.
Today, LCBC is missing fundamental knowledge, skills and resources to act:
- Less than a quarter (23,9 %) of the 2008 expenditure was dedicated to development activities,
necessary to respond to functional governance issues.
- Only a fifth (22%) of available project funds had been used during this exercise.

activities nor their correct attribution (See also the findings the National Experts exposed to the 53rd Ordinary session, in
Maroua, 2006, as well as recurrent comments of the Financial Controller)

Ad Competence, Effectiveness and Functional Governance
4.
To donors, the LCBC has to prove its ability to secure and operationalise their investments: It‟s the
LCBC‟s responsibility to carry on capacities that have been built up by a project and continue to
develop and manage such resources. The donors are ready to share knowhow and to enable
people, LCBC needs to have the motivated and competent staff to carry on. As a result, LCBC
needs to be an attractive employer, paying a market oriented salary and fringe benefits.
5.
To all stakeholders, LCBC management and staff should be able to prove the usefulness of their
action & mission for the Basin‟s ecosystem and the relevance to the Vision and the Strategic
Action Plan („SAP‟).
6.
Intended Actions or Missions should be made available on the LCBC website: So other
stakeholders can take note and are thus able to support LCBC or to join forces.
7.
However the consultant would not go so far to recommend that everyone has to produce timeconsuming technical justification of each trip or mission. Everyone who comes back from a
mission or even a training, should share his/her key findings and observations within the LCBC
organization in a written form and stored electronically in a LCBC intranet (which is yet to be
created).

Ad Performance and Operational Management
1.
“What you do not measure, you cannot
manage” is an everlasting dictum in the
economic world.
2.
Having read the resolutions of the
Commissioners of the last couple of years,
the consultants vigorously call for a more
stringent performance management. There
are some rudiments of performance reviews
laid down in the regulations. But what is
missing are the clearly defined performance
objectives, measures, and minimum score
(ex 17 out of 20 points) to be promoted,
especially for management staff, and the
sanctions* for the non-performance in a given
time-frame.
It seemed to the consultants that virtually
everyone had got his or her yearly salary
increase for “ rendering continuous service”
(Art. 14, (b) i. of LCBC staff rules). This will
not be enough for the future.
3.
9
Hence the consultants recommend to
introduce clear performance measurement as
well as possible sanctions*, for example, no
shift to a higher salary grade, or – if
repeatedly low-performing, dismissal.
4.
Furthermore, the consultants recommend
to reduce the probationary period from
one year (cf. Art. (a) i. of LCBC staff rules)
to 3 months (taken example of CICOS
staff rules)
5.
Thus, a 2nd urgent milestone is to define
LCBC‟s mid-term priorities ( till 2012,
based on the SAP) not only to identify
imminent investment needs (already
requested by resolution N°2 of the Extraordinary Session in Abuja, June 2008),
but also to define operational & individual
performance targets.
6.
A 3rd urgent milestone is the elaboration
of the LCBC‟s administrative, accounting
and financial procedures, as already
requested by the Commissioners in
Abuja, March 2008 (resolution N°10), in
order to lay down the performance
management rules.
7.
The new Executive Secretary and the
new General Directors should be held
accountable for the achievement of
milestones 2 and 3 within their first 3
months of service – which will be equal to
the recommended probationary period.
* There are “disciplinary measures” in Art 26 though. They just need to be applied

Ad Flexibility
1.
It is the Basin Observatory‟s responsibility to identify new developments and urgencies in the
Basin and, supported by the Technical Departments and in coordination with the Executive
Secretary to issue “warnings” to the Commissioners.
2.
Here, organisational and hierarchical flexibility is the key:
The direction (=adopted LCBC Vision 2025 and Strategic Action Programme) is clear. Hence, the
LCBC Departmental Directors should not use too much of their energy to discuss about where to
steer the ship, but go on to manoeuvre it. For a good marine officer goes down to the engine room
to work with the engineers.
3.
Reasoning and action of all Directors should focus on long term strategic objectives (Vision and
SAP) as well as annual performance goals. Competence and bureaucratic barriers should not
hamper cooperation & teamwork. As a matter of fact, all Technical Departments as well as the
Basin‟s Observatory are heavily interlinked. None can perform properly without the input of the
others.
Hence the consultants recommend to formulate contribution and cooperation objectives for each
individual‟s performance requirements.
4.
This actually is what the Basin‟s Observatory Department should be measured for:
A) how useful is its reporting on the Basin‟s ecosystem? Is its reporting system inclusive, impartial
and scientifically sound?
B) Could it embrace upcoming threats or opportunities? Does it provide useful information to the
stakeholders as well as to the other LCBC Departments?

At the editorial deadline of this report, the consultants did not have the updated and detailed budget data at hand
to produce a sound estimate of the LCBC operational costs. Some questions concerning accuracy and
consistency remained open.
(It would have been helpful to get access to computable (Excel format) financial and budget data to speed up
analysis or enable case modelling)
The new LCBC senior management should be on board by January 2010. That means the big salary increase
will not become effective until the 2010 exercise.
The approx. 72 Mio CFAF increase in net salary volume in 2010 is caused not only by the salary increase
(recommended on page 14), but also, and predominantly so, by the creation of new Senior positions, reporting
to the ES: The new salary volume totals 55 Mio CFAF in 2010.
Considering the timetable of the recruitment process (chapter iii, page 22-23), there will be only 12 new positions
to be filled, 3 positions should be freed by mid 2009, and 8 existing positions are to be freed by the end of 2009.
In the (unlikely) case, that none of those 3+8 position holders will be re-staffed to a new position within the
LCBC, the severance payments to be put into the 2009 budget will amount to CFAF 112.330.713. (All data
analysis is based on budget values per 31/12/2008).
It remains unclear to the consultant, if the LCBC has been building financial provisions for the end-of-service
gratuity. Since this is laid down in the staff regulations (Art. 20), these are foreseeable events with foreseeable
costs, hence LCBC should have accumulated provisions for it. If provisions have been made, the extra cost of
dismissal amounts to the 3-months-notice payment, which is only CFAF 31.148.412. However, this is only due if
the 3-months delay is not respected: if a staff member is urged to step out immediately (without notice) these 3
months of salary have to be paid.
The remaining positions (N°13-32) for Technical experts with varying experience levels and management
responsibility, should be staffed latest by July 1st, 2010. Other job positions (No 33 and higher) should be
reviewed during 2010 at latest.


Ad Part I: Governing & Consultative Entities
–
–


Council of Commissioners, Inter-Ministerial Committee,

Consultative and Technical Committees
These are foreseeable events, which are clearly regulated, therefore cost estimates should be mapped out in the
budget planning
Ad Part II: LCBC Salaries & Operations
–
32
Basically these are the costs of inclusivity at a political level. It‟s about the logistics and allowances induced by
official meetings like the following:
Here are all the expenditure necessary to keep the organization running and to ensure basic
services :

Salaries, Fringe benefits and other allowances

Training & Development of staff

Travel & subsistence expenses (if not associated with part I or in part III)

Provisions for severance (gratuity) payments, medical costs, …, and foreseeable security measures

Maintenance for infrastructure and equipment

Materials and consumables

Insurances, Depreciation costs, and other financial costs
–
Regarding bullet points 1-3 (salaries, training, travel) as well as for materials & consumables, it is
advisable to further separate costs by Department in order to facilitate the Department‟s resources
planning and management
–
The consultants like to emphasize that the Commissioners already called for preparing a sound
budget plan and revise all administrative, accounting and financial rules & procedures during their
session in Abuja, in March 2008 (resolution N° 10).
The consultants recommend that the new General Director of Finance & Administration completes
this requirement during the first 6 months of his or her service, and is be held accountable for its
Final Report by mapConsult/www.map-consult.com/Feb-2009
adherence.
iv Budget needs – Comments

33
Ad Part III: Projects & Developments
–
Here are expenses for projects and development activities
–
It would make sense to present these activities distinguished by Programme &
Project - as opposed to departments.
–
This budget part is intended to facilitate programme/project planning and controlling.
There are technical projects, but there might be other - organisational, administrative
or purely communicational ones, too.
–
Producing the biannual* report might be seen as a recurring LCBC project (even
though it is a “product”) and might be accounted for in this budget part. In such case
one has to make sure that costs are not redundant to what is already counted in Part
II.
–
N‟Gala School: Since it has not been a scope of their mission, the consultants did not
consider it in this report at all.
* To be clarified: “bi-annual “= twice a year or
“biennial“ = every 2 years??
