10010332-Integrated Technical Assistance to the Ministry of Labour under Labour Market Access Project II (LMAP II)
Egypt continues to face significant labour-market challenges driven by slow economic growth, high inflation, currency devaluations between 2016 and 2024, and structural pressures on job creation. Although the official unemployment rate stood at 7.4% in 2021, these figures mask deep labour-market vulnerabilities: an estimated 60-70% of economic activity occurs in the informal sector, decent work standards are inconsistently applied, and vocational and university graduates remain disproportionately unemployed. Young people aged 15-29 are particularly affected, with an unemployment rate of 17.2% and only 17% holding formal jobs. Gender disparities remain a central challenge. The female employment rate is only 15%, compared to 67% for men, and young women face unemployment rates above 42%. Despite ongoing reforms-including the National Employment Strategy (NES), the National Strategy for the Empowerment of Egyptian Women 2030, and the Digital Egypt agenda-youth employability, quality of employment, and women"s labour-market participation remain limited. Addressing these gaps requires strengthened institutions, improved employment services, and closer alignment between state structures and labour-market needs. The Labour Market Access Project II (LMAP II), commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), aims to improve young Egyptians' access to decent employment through a multi-level approach targeting employment policy, gender equality, digital solutions, job preparation, and decent employment services. The project cooperates closely with the Ministry of Labour (MoL) as the political partner and engages a broad set of intermediaries including MoL departments at central and governorate levels, instructors at MoL training centres, public and private service providers, the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI), companies, and civil-society organisations. The module objective, "Young Egyptians' access to decent employment has improved," is measured through indicators on employability outcomes, improvements in decent work standards, and gender-responsive interventions. The contractor will directly contribute to several indicators, including improving the quality of employment for approximately 800 workers, implementing four gender-equality measures under MoL"s Gender Action Plan, strengthening employment-policy capacities, and supporting the delivery of job-preparation and decent-employment services. Description of the Procurement The contractor will support the Ministry of Labour in developing employment policies, enhancing gender-responsive institutional capacities, creating job-preparation tools, strengthening communication systems, and expanding decent-employment services delivered to companies. The assignment consists of five main work packages that collectively contribute to Outputs 1, 2, 4, and 5 of LMAP II. Work Package 1 - Strategic Communication and Visibility Support This work package strengthens MoL"s public image, stakeholder engagement, and visibility of employment-related reforms. It includes designing a results-driven communication strategy, modernising MoL"s visual identity, conducting perception assessments, managing media relations, producing multi-channel communication content, and building MoL"s internal communication capacities. Work Package 2 - Policy Support, Future-Oriented Employment Planning, and NES Implementation The contractor will support MoL in developing evidence-based employment policies, strengthening its internal policymaking functions, and operationalising the NES once launched. Tasks include institutional assessments, strengthening policy-formulation processes, developing operational manuals, facilitating stakeholder consultations, and improving coordination mechanisms. Work Package 3 - Capacity Development and Implementation of the National Plan for Gender Equality This work package strengthens the capacities of MoL staff and private-sector HR professionals on gender-responsive employment practices. It includes capacity-building programmes, advisory support to the GEC, and implementation of six priority activities from MoL"s Gender Action Plan. Work Package 4 - Development of Innovative Instruments for Job Preparation The contractor will develop inclusive, gender-responsive job-preparation tools aligned with labour-market needs, pilot the programme, deliver Training-of-Trainers packages, strengthen MoL"s Training Unit, and produce immersive 360° workplace videos. Work Package 5 - Expansion of Service Offerings to Promote Decent Employment This work package strengthens service providers and MoL"s inspectorate, supports SST and LST delivery, certifies trainers, develops new decent-employment services, pilots them in SMEs, and develops scalable models and M&E systems. Target Group and Expected Impact The intervention targets young jobseekers and newly employed Egyptians aged 18-35, with particular emphasis on women. Indirect target groups include MoL staff, private-sector HR professionals, service providers, and SMEs. Through strengthening institutional capacities, developing high-quality training and advisory services, and expanding decent-employment offerings, the contractor contributes to more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable labour-market outcomes in Egypt. - Ministry of Foreign AffairsCopenhagenDeadline: Aug 04
Consultancy Services for Fund Management of three new Business Instruments
The Ministry of foreign Affairs, Green Diplomacy and Climate wishes to engage a Consultant (Fund Manager) to implement three business support instruments (E1, E2, and E4) as part of the Danish Government’s Strategy for Development Cooperation, “A Changing World”, appeals to Danish private companies and investors to increase their engagement and investment in the Global South, helping bridge gaps and contribute to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including climate action. The vision is that businesses which invest and expand their commercial engagements in the Global South will make significant contributions to national development agendas, including jobs, income opportunities through development of sustainable local value-chains, economic and social spin-offs from increased salaries and taxes, innovation, new technologies, and productivity-enhancements, and expansion in services. More specifically, the Strategy along with the Danish Government’s Action Plan for Effective and Economic Diplomacy seek to leverage the shared space between development cooperation and economic diplomacy, by promoting Danish companies’ investments and trade in developing partner countries. To this end, the Danish Government has initiated an initiative to strengthen business support through five business support instruments. The instruments are designed with focus on making it easier and more attractive for Danish companies to engage in emerging and developing markets, by reducing risks and clarifying and activating market potentials through partnerships, pilot projects, and business instruments providing co-investment financing and technical advice. The total amount allocated for the total initiative is DKK 850 million, of which DKK 550 million is allocated for instruments related to this tender. The five instruments focus on: E1) Early pipeline development to enlarge the pool of viable business cases; E2) Development, testing, and launching of inclusive and sustainable business models through partnerships between Danish businesses and non-commercial actors; E3) Access to finance, better enabling companies to invest and do business in high-risk Global South markets; E4) Demonstrating scalable, private sector-developed solutions with and for public authorities; and E5) Leveraging private and philanthropic capital. The five instruments are designed and should to the extent possible be managed to ensure synergies and coherence, both mutually and with the wider set of Danish private sector support engagements. The implementation of instruments E1, E2, and E4 will be managed under a Fund Management (FM) contract (Agreement) while instrument E3 and E5 will be managed by Impact Fund Denmark. This reflects a wish to concentrate the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ role on the policy and strategic management functions and to externalise the administrative and operational management functions to implementing agents. The purpose of the Agreement is to carry out the implementation and management of the three instruments, E1, E2, and E4, based on the underlying project documents and MFA Aid Management Guidelines (AMG). The Consultant will provide effective, transparent and accountable challenge fund management, covering proactive outreach and communication; call and application process implementation; contracting of selected actors/partnerships; supervision, guidance, and technical and project management backstopping of projects supported; administrative and financial management at facility level; results management and monitoring at level of each instrument; learning across the portfolio; and risk management. The objective of the Agreement is to manage and implement effectively and with accountability and transparency instruments E1, E2, and E4 and to achieve their defined objectives and results and in compliance with the MFA AMG. The Consultant’s overall tasks are: • Manage the full grant cycles of the instruments based on the project documents, including the application/call processes, with focus on efficient management, effectiveness, and accountability for funds and results. • Provide all administration of the funds including overall financial management, controls including state subsidy compliance, and verification and approval of project workplans, budgets, and reports as well as disbursements to the actors which, depending on the case, is the sole grantee, or in case of partnerships, the appointed administrative partner (commercial or non-commercial). • Provide for achievement of results as defined in the Results Framework in project documents of the instruments. • Provide outreach and communication to relevant segments of commercial actors including small/medium-size enterprises, highlight positive lessons, and ensure sharing of relevant knowledge and information that generate interest and effective participation in the instruments. • Provide relevant business and project management support and guidance to actors supported under the instruments. • Provide overall quality assurance of projects supported. • Maintain full compliance with MFA AMG and FMG, ensuring high standards of financial management, procurement, anti-corruption, and risk mitigation. • Provide relevant information and data to KLIMA on concrete projects and overall status based on request and through half annual and yearly reporting and meetings. • In relation to mid-term review or other MFA monitoring activities implement recommendations. The Agreement is divided into two phases. Phase 1 will cover the period 2027-2030 with an optional phase 2 covering up to 2035 guided by a planned mid-term review in 2029. - European Commission, DG GROW - Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEsBrusselsDeadline: Jul 01
Provision of services to support economic modelling of climate change and energy policies: Modelling of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, air pollutants, and LULUCF offsets
The European Green Deal is the roadmap for making the EU’s economy sustainable. It is a set of policy initiatives with the overarching aim of making Europe climate neutral by 2050. The "Economics of Climate Change, Energy and Transport" Unit (JRC.C.6) of the Joint Research Centre supports the European Commission’s European Green Deal by performing economics-based research in several areas related to energy and climate change. This work includes the development of a reference toolset of economic models and the completion of associated research activities to improve the models' reliability and robustness. The JRC.C.6 Unit is based in Seville, Spain. JRC.C.6 is seeking to strengthen its socio-economic research and modelling capabilities by expanding its coverage of modelling areas and by updating and improving its existing models and toolsets. The unit JRC.C.6 maintains, develops and applies a number of quantitative tools to analyse the impact of different policies on the energy demand and supply sectors, as well as tools for macro-economic modelling. This toolset comprises the EU and global partial equilibrium models POTEnCIA and POLES including their corresponding databases (notably JRC-IDEES), and the global general equilibrium model JRC-GEM-E3. All these tools are able to provide model output in terms of CO2 emissions. The comprehensive modelling of climate change mitigation scenarios requires additional information as regards non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions as well as on emissions and sinks related to land use, land use change and forestry offsets (LULUCF). Besides, climate action can have important co[1]benefits in terms of reduced emissions of air pollutants and of improved air quality. This Framework Contract aims at supporting the operation of the abovementioned set of models by providing the JRC with data, methods and results relevant for the analysis of non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions, emissions of air pollutants (including air quality impacts), and LULUCF - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHEschborn

7000001904 - Consultancy to implement output 2: The access of refugees and host communities to sustainable energy services has improved (Energy Component)
Services under Output 2 aim to increase electricity access, promote modern cooking solutions, facilitate productive-use of energy (PUE) applications, strengthen private-sector participation, and enhance local technical and institutional capacities. A significant share of the implementation activities will be concentrated in Dadaab. All interventions will be coordinated with DRS, county governments in Garissa and Turkana, relevant energy agencies, local authorities, private enterprises, and development partners. A critical input will be a comprehensive market needs assessment, conducted by a separate contractor prior to Output 2 activities. This assessment will form the evidence base for all interventions, providing detailed understanding of household and enterprise energy demand, supply chain capacities, consumer preferences, affordability, and barriers to private-sector engagement. It will include surveys, focus groups, and key informant interviews across refugee and host communities in Dadaab, Kakuma, and Kalobeyei. The assessment will map electricity, improved cookstoves, alternative fuels, and PUE supply chains, identifying strengths, bottlenecks, and gaps. Affordability, willingness to pay, and regulatory frameworks will be analyzed. Gender and inclusion factors, including barriers faced by women and persons with disabilities, as well as cultural and household dynamics, will inform the design, targeting, and sequencing of all Output 2 interventions. Building on this evidence, Output 2 will support a Results-Based Reimbursement (RBR) mechanism to incentivize private-sector investment, linking payments to results such as household and enterprise connections, cookstove deployment, and PUE installations. The mechanism will involve stakeholder consultations, eligibility criteria emphasizing women- and youth-led enterprises, competitive selection, capacity-building, monitoring, verification, phased disbursement, and risk management strategies. Linkages to commercial financiers will promote long-term sustainability. Services also include enterprise development and technical support for businesses engaged in electricity provision, cookstove production, alternative fuel distribution, and PUE technologies. Support covers installation, operation, and maintenance of solar systems and mini-grids; technical guidance for cookstove production, efficiency testing, and quality assurance; alternative fuel production; and adoption of PUE technologies. Business advisory services include market analysis, supply chain optimization, financial management, strategic planning, formalization support, and access to financing. Result-based and technical support will be provided to scalable energy solutions, including the design, implementation and operation of a pilot 50 kW solar-hybrid mini-grid in Dadaab, solar-powered water pumps, cold storage units, and institutional cooking systems. PUE interventions will support livelihoods through solar-powered milling, refrigeration, welding, irrigation, and ICT services. Clean cooking and alternative fuel services will expand access via local production, distribution networks, and behavior change campaigns, prioritizing women"s participation and reducing exposure to indoor air pollution. Coordination with national and county authorities, DRS, energy agencies, development partners, and private-sector actors will ensure alignment with policy frameworks and complementarity with existing programs. Lessons learned from regional initiatives such as ProSEET, EnDev, WIDU.africa, and EMPOWER will be incorporated. A robust Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) system will track household and enterprise energy access, adoption of clean cooking technologies, use of PUE equipment, and participation of women, youth, and persons with disabilities. Community feedback mechanisms, baseline, midline, and endline evaluations, and adaptive management processes will ensure accountability, evidence-based adjustments, and continuous learning. By 2028, Output 2 is expected to expand energy access to approximately 90,113 refugees and 60,076 host community members, including at least 75,095 women. Enterprises in sustainable energy supply chains are projected to grow from 139 to 151 in Kakuma and 22 to 32 in Dadaab, with at least 30% women-led or owned. Adoption of PUE technologies, improved cooking solutions, and alternative fuels will contribute to income generation, employment creation, and environmental protection. Sustainability is central to Output 2, combining evidence-based market interventions, technical support, infrastructure development, PUE promotion, clean cooking, gender inclusion, and rigorous MEAL processes to ensure long-term, self-sustaining energy markets. The services deliver a neutral, evidence-based, and coordinated set of interventions to transform energy access in Kenya"s refugee-hosting regions. By providing affordable, reliable, and inclusive energy solutions, supporting enterprise development, enabling productive-use applications, promoting clean cooking, and ensuring continuous learning and monitoring, the project will enhance livelihoods, strengthen environmental resilience, foster social inclusion, and support the implementation of the Government of Kenya"s Shirika Plan. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHN/A
