TASHAROC Programme
Consultant to provide technical assistance in implementing a Regional handicraft company (Soci t de d veloppement r gional) for the Regional Council of Tangier-T touan-Al Hoce ma.

Background
TASHAROC is a two-year project based in Tangier and is funded by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office to support the Tangier-T touan-Al Hoce ma (TTAH) Regional Council in the regionalisation process. As part of the programme to support the Regional Council, TASHAROC will provide capacity building and technical assistance across a range of areas in support of the Regional Council s mandate.

Regional Council (RC)
The RC is an elected local body governed by public law and is, according to Organic Law 111-14, in charge of various development areas in the region. The RC of the TTAH region is one of the 12 regional councils of Morocco that constitute the first administrative division in the framework of advanced regionalisation.

AREP
The Regional Agency for the Execution of Projects (AREP) is a new agency set up in 2017, whose mandate is to take over the role of central agencies in funding regional development projects. It is designed as the executive arm of the regional councils to deliver the PDR projects.

Plan de D veloppement R gional (PDR)
The RC must develop and implement a six-year PDR which includes a diagnostic of regional development priorities and must conform to national policies and strategies. The PDR was finalised and approved by the RC on 25 April 2017, and it lists 45 individual projects. These 45 projects are graphically presented in the PDR as falling into the following technical areas: Increasing the Attractiveness of the Region, Economic Competitiveness, Social Development and Valorisation of Tangible & Intangible Assets.

Mission and Scope of work
TASHAROC has supported the RC and AREP in conducting an options assessment study on implementing pilot handicraft value chain platforms in the region. This study has demonstrated that there is no need to build additional handicraft platforms and that the absence of convergence between public sector, cooperatives and private sector actors constitutes the main challenge facing handicraft platform management in the region. Thus, for more efficient and sustainable management, a new governance model involving all stakeholders needs to be developed. Among other potential models, the study has proposed establishing a regional handicraft company (RHC) as a governance model for managing value chain handicraft platforms in the region. The capital of this company will be funded by the RC, relevant public administrations and territorial institutions, and other stakeholders. The RHC will oversee and manage all handicraft platforms in the region and run them to achieve performance, efficiency, accountability, profitability, and an added value for the artisans and customers interacting with them. As a pilot, the RHC will start implementing this new model of governance in three existing platforms in different locations in the region. The choice of these platforms will be based on their degree of maturity and their business plans.

Thus, TASHAROC is seeking a consultant to provide technical assistance for the creation of the RHC and piloting of its new handicraft platform management model. Working closely with AREP and the RC, this consultant will be expected to:

• Develop a governance model for the RHC including its legal form, financial model, and the role of each stakeholder in its decision-making processes;
• Develop a business plan for the RHC for five years including its action plan, main resources, costs, and profit-making activities;
• Propose an organigramme for the RHC and requirements in terms of qualifications/competencies and experience of the staff;
• Develop business cases for three pilot handicraft platforms that the company will manage (estimation of investment, profitability, duration of the pilot etc.); and
• Define, in details, the contribution of the RC and other stakeholders to the capital of the RHC.

The consultant will be expected to work closely with the RC and relevant consultants to support this process. This support will be monitored through the following deliverables, which the consultant will be expected to submit to a high quality, according to the format and deadline set out below:
