About AECF
AECF supports businesses to innovate, create jobs, leverage investments and markets in an effort to create
resilient and sustainable incomes in rural and marginalized communities in Africa.
Launched in 2008, AECF has mobilized over US $310 million, leveraging more than US $580 million in
matching funds and improving the lives of more than 13 million people through jobs and increased
household incomes. This has been achieved by investing in 257 companies in 24 countries across sub-Saharan
Africa in more than 40 value chains in our focal sectors of agribusiness and renewable energy.
In our strategy to 2020 the goal is to “double our impact in half the time”. To achieve this, AECF will
continue to focus on the agribusiness and renewable energy sectors, increase support to climate smart
technologies, refine our challenge model, expand regional presence, adopt a gender lens investment
approach and deepen focus on youth employment. AECF will expand its products and partnership approach
to better meet our investees’ current needs; and ensure they rapidly scale and transition to external
financing and sustainability thereby attaining our vision of ‘A Prosperous and Enterprising Rural Africa’. For
more information, visit www.aecfafrica.org .
The AECF seeks to engage the services of a reputable and technically qualified individual or firm with
extensive expertise in labour market analyses, management and organizational development to undertake an
independent salary and benefits survey process. AECF therefore hereby solicits proposals from interested
individuals or firms to conduct the survey and support the AECF in establishing a competitive salary scale for
its employees in line with the prevailing market rates.
A. Objective of Assignment

B. Scope and focus of the assignment
a. The selected individual or firm shall compile and suggest to AECF a list of employers which may be
considered as comparators, for the purpose of establishing staff remuneration and provide an
explanation of why those market comparisons were chosen. The list shall be subjected to final
approval by AECF;
b. Carry out a survey to compare AECF remuneration levels with suitable local, regional and global
comparators;
c. A strategic framework with which rational decisions can be made in response to changing
organisation structure and roles and to market rate pressures;
d. A consistent approach for the determination and management of relativities between jobs;
