DATA REPORTING AND ANALYTICS PLATFORM

Request for Application

Deadline to submit the application: 11^th January 2019, 18:00 (GMT)

The Bank of Zambia (BoZ) requires DFS providers to submit market and transaction data each month for monitoring the efficacy of its policies and ensuring the sector is functioning in a safe, secure, reliable and efficient manner. The collection and analysis of the submitted data is currently done manually using MS Excel, which is time consuming, prone to human errors and limits the level of analysis possible.

BOZ has requested support from UNCDF Zambia to deploy a Data Reporting and Analytics Platform (hereinafter “the Platform”) that will automate the reporting processes and aid effective supervision and oversight of the DFS service sector in Zambia.

UNCDF solicits proposals for procuring a Data Reporting and Analytics platform that would automate the reporting processes and provide analytics helpful for BoZ in undertaking its regulatory duties.
