"The Executive Office of the President - State House, is seeking to develop a database of senior experts to provide consultancy services on a short-term basis," reads the notice.
Since its launch in 2022, the Bottom-Up Economic Agenda has aimed to tackle economic disparity, though its progress has faced challenges.
State House is actively seeking experts in areas such as macroeconomics, microeconomics, household and welfare economics, and agricultural economics.
The call extends to those skilled in natural resource economics, with a focus on energy, environmental issues, and climate finance.
Additional fields include industrial economics, and law and policy, covering investment climate, ease of doing business, regulation, consumer protection, and climate action, among others.
