To
develop a comprehensive, technically robust, and implementation-ready Software
Requirements Specification (SRS) for the SHARED Information System, including
clearly defined functional and non-functional requirements, system
architecture, data standards, long-term sustainability and quantifiable
deliverables to support performance-based contracting of system developers.

The
consultant/team will undertake, but not be limited to, the following tasks:

Stakeholder
and System Needs Assessment

• 
  Identify and map key stakeholders
  (government, private sector, academia, communities, including vulnerable
  groups)
• 
  Conduct consultations with key
  stakeholders
• 
  Identify user categories, roles,
  and system interaction pathways
• 
  Document use cases and user
  stories across scales (national to GN level)

Functional
Requirements Definition

• 
  Define detailed functional modules
  including:

1. 
   Data integration and management
   system
2. 
   Decision Support System (DSS)
3. 
   Multi-scale dashboards and
   visualization tools
4. 
   Monitoring and evaluation
   (M&E) system
5. 
   SLM and PES monitoring and
   coordination platform
6. 
   Value chain and Market information
   system
7. 
   Stakeholder interaction interface

• 
  Define workflows, data flows, and
  system logic

Non-Functional
Requirements

• 
  System performance (response time,
  uptime ≥ 99%)
• 
  Scalability and modularity
• 
  Interoperability with national
  systems
• 
  Cybersecurity and data protection
  standards
• 
  User accessibility (mobile
  compatibility, low-bandwidth optimization)
• 
  Role-based access control

System
Architecture Design

• 
  Develop high-level and detailed
  system architecture
• 
  Define technology stack options
  (preferably open-source)
• 
  Cloud/on-premises hybrid
  recommendations
• 
  Data storage, APIs, and
  integration protocols

Data
Goverance Framework

• 
  Define data types, formats,
  metadata standards
• 
  Develop data governance and
  sharing protocols
• 
  Identify data sources and update
  frequencies (real-time, periodic)

Prototyping
and Wireframes

• 
  Develop wireframes/mock-ups for
  key system interfaces
• 
  Design role-specific dashboards
  (policy makers, researchers, farmers)
• 
  Ensure usability, inclusiveness,
  and accessibility

Implementation
and Phasing Plan

• 
  Develop a phased system
  development roadmap
• 
  Define modules for staged
  implementation
• 
  Identify dependencies and
  integration priorities
• 
  Identify risks and mitigation
  strategies

Performance
Metrics and Payment Framework

• 
  Define quantifiable outputs and
  Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for each system module
• 
  Develop measurable acceptance
  criteria for deliverables
• 
  Propose a milestone-based payment
  structure linked to deliverables
• 
  Provide inputs for technical
  specifications for bidding documents
