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.

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! Member State Receivables by 31/12/2007 Paid by 31/12/2007 Balance by 31/12/2007 % paid Cameroun 948.723.814 0 -948.723.814 0% Niger 392.733.866 0 -392.733.866 0% 1.745.162.137 502.438.195 -1.242.723.942 29% Tchad 849.898.840 312.000.000 -537.898.840 37% RCA 274.061.123 0 -274.061.123 0% 4.210.579.780 814.438.195 -3.396.141.585 19% Nigeria TOTAL 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). Final Report by mapConsult/www.map-consult.com/Feb-2009 0 Fundamentals – Comments 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. LCBC budget Approved budget Expenditure by 31/12/2008 Balance by 31/12/2008 % execution by 31/12/2008 Total recurrent budget 1.117.462.168 701.180.719 416.281.449 62,7% Total development budget 1.003.468.063 220.510.225 782.957.838 22,0% Total Budget 2.120.930.231 921.690.944 1.199.239.287 43,5% % part recurrent 52,7% 76,1% 34,7% % part development 47,3% 23,9% 65,3% The budget data available to the consultants did not help to understand the nature of specific 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) 7 Final Report by mapConsult/www.map-consult.com/Feb-2009 0 Fundamentals – Comments 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). 8 Final Report by mapConsult/www.map-consult.com/Feb-2009 0 Fundamentals – Comments 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 Final Report by mapConsult/www.map-consult.com/Feb-2009 0 Fundamentals – Comments 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? 10 Final Report by mapConsult/www.map-consult.com/Feb-2009 0 Fundamentals – Recommendations Hence we fundamentally recommend* : LCBC 11 Separate Political Accountability (Executive Secretary) From Operational & Management Responsibilities (General Directorates) Enable Technical Directors to become Autonomous Managers within their scope of activity and their defined performance objectives Be network and ouput driven – Stakeholder must see and feel LCBC action everywhere Motivate management and staff by clear roles & responsibilities; Engage them through impartial & sound performance monitoring; Secure them by a market oriented salary * In addition to what the Commissioners resolved during the Ordinary and Extra-ordinary Sessions, in 2006 and 2008.

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. * Data sheets hereafter Final Report by mapConsult/www.map-consult.com/Feb-2009 iv Budget needs – data analysis N° Name of function Nouve au/Ne w Code CBLT Salaire Annuel de base proposé Proposed Basic Salary per Year [CFA] Executive Secretary C0CE 18.000.000 List* of new positions with net annual salary * See full table in annex 1 1 General Directorate Admin. & Finance C1 14.400.000 2 General Directorate Operations C1 14.400.000 3 Envrionment & Water Resources Department C2 12.000.000 4 Department for Planning and Project Evaluation C2 12.000.000 5 Department for Capacity Building, Information and Data Monitoring C2 12.000.000 6 Internal Auditor C2 12.000.000 7 Director of the Basin Observatory C2 12.000.000 8 Department for Human Resources C3 9.600.000 9 Department for Finance and Equipment C3 9.600.000 10 Legal Council C3 9.600.000 11 Corporate Services & Communication C3 9.600.000 12 Regional Integration, Cooperation and Security C3 9.600.000 … …* … Total Plan …* 277.200.000 28 Final Report by mapConsult/www.map-consult.com/Feb-2009 iv Budget needs – data analysis Data modelling for Severance Payments in 2009 Other Positions potentially to be freed 29 Service ending by Severance Pay for position holder (code 204, based on Salary values per 31/12/2008) 15% Grat.* p.a.

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??
