10001623-Technical Assistance to implement gender-responsive solid waste management / circular economy and green public spaces in India
The services included in this tender contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the project "Gender in Smart Cities / Resilient Urban Development: Gender and Digital Approaches as drivers for sustainable growth and recovery in Cities" (GRC) that GIZ is implementing in India on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), along with the political counterpart the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). The services included in this tender are to be implemented in the cities of Guwahati in Assam and Kochi in Kerala and focuses on two urban public services: solid waste management (SWM) / circular economy (CE), and safe and green public spaces. The contractor is responsible for implementing the following 3 work packages in 2 partner cities in coordination with the GIZ team in Delhi. Work package 1 - Improving the evidence base Work package 1 aims to improve the data and knowledge base for the provision of climate-resilient municipal services. To this end, a city-wide community of practice (CoP) will be set up, comprising representatives from the municipal corporation, state departments, civil society, and the private sector, to analyze the evidence base for selected services in the areas of SWM / CE as well as safe and green public spaces, with regard to gender equality and the potential for adaptation to climate change and for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In Guwahati, the evidence base for green and safe public spaces must consider nature-based solutions and sponge park approaches. In Kochi, the evidence base must consider the existing Kudumbashree women groups from the Kerala government's flagship poverty eradication and women empowerment mission and the Centre for Heritage, Environment and Development (c-hed). In the process, potential problem areas with regard to evidence (e.g., reliability, completeness, acceptance by stakeholders, especially decision-makers, data quality, distortions, level of digitization, and status of gender disaggregation) will be jointly identified and prioritized. On this basis, selected evidence elements are specifically optimized with a focus on key aspects along the information and data cycle using innovative digital approaches with a view to improving the information content on gender and climate aspects (especially gender disaggregation). Decision-makers in the public service sectors are advised to analyze and formalize this qualified evidence and to use it in decision-making processes. Finally, the project promotes knowledge transfer between partner cities with cross-city CoPs in order to exchange best practices regarding evidence qualification and scale up evidence-based decision-making. Work package 2 - Development of practical models Work package 2 aims to develop models in which women and girls benefit as providers and users of improved climate-resilient municipal public services in partner cities. Based on evidence-based analyses and identified service problems, demonstration projects shall be designed and implemented in the partner cities in close cooperation between city officials, the private sector, and civil society. The demonstration projects focus both on a) improvements in key areas of SWM / CE (e.g., in selected neighborhoods or wards) and b) the enhancement of safe and green public spaces (e.g., in selected parks or green spaces). They serve as practical test environments for evidence-based improvement measures, including physical upgrades to infrastructure, organizational optimization of service processes, digital innovations to increase efficiency, and approaches to promote economic activity. A particular focus is placed on strengthening gender responsiveness and, on the other hand, on strengthening the potential for climate adaptation and resource conservation. Specific thematic focus and requirements apply for the 2 project cities Guwahati and Kochi (see full ToR document for details). Scalable practical models including investment concepts for further implementation shall be developed as well as reviewed and documented in a structured manner on the basis of success factors to be defined. The practical models shall be disseminated for further application and institutionalization through the exchange of experiences between the partner cities and with other cities. Work package 3 - Strengthening capacities Work package 3 aims to train relevant actors to improve climate-resilient municipal public services. To this end, the city officials and their departments responsible for public service provision are supported in their organizational development in line with their needs. Cooperation with NGOs and women self-help groups (SHGs) shall be promoted in order to anchor inclusive and needs-based solutions. The skills of various target groups are to be strengthened in a targeted manner: a) City and state officials receive further training (e.g., on gender-responsive service planning, climate resilience, or digital skills); b) Women working in public service provision (e.g., in municipal corporations, self-help groups, contracted companies, or the informal sector) shall receive needs-based practical training on relevant topics;. c) Women entrepreneurs shall be supported through targeted mentoring and training on business and financing models. Awareness-raising activities shall be carried out at various levels, both Households and schools. Selected training institutions shall be supported in incorporating the developed training modules into regular training programs for other cities, including a cross-city CoP. Specific thematic focus and requirements apply for the 2 project cities Guwahati and Kochi (see full ToR document for details). - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
81321664-Annual Impact Surveys of target groups
The contractor will design and implement a multi-annual mixed-methods survey and qualitative research for the ILiPS and CDRD projects in South Sudan. The services include the development, adaptation and translation of questionnaires for household surveys, including a dedicated module on women of reproductive age. The questionnaires must follow a layered design with "must-have" questions for donor reporting and project steering, "should-have" questions to ensure context-specific adaptation of core themes, and "nice-to-have" questions that can be added according to regional or cohort-specific needs. All tools are to be translated into relevant local languages and pre-tested in the field to ensure clarity and feasibility, and must be designed in a conflict-sensitive and culturally appropriate manner. Sampling must ensure representativeness at state and cohort level with a margin of error of eight percent for both state-level and displacement-strata estimates. Each beneficiary sample shall be matched by a control group of non-beneficiaries in neighbouring Payams, representing half the sample size. The contractor will apply stratified random sampling and use a digital data collection tool, preferably Survey Solutions on GIZ servers, in order to guarantee secure and efficient handling of data. Comprehensive training of enumerators, field supervision and quality assurance measures are required throughout. The contractor will carry out household surveys for each cohort at the relevant survey stage. For ILiPS, this includes midline data collection in two states in 2026. For CDRD, this includes midterm and endline data collection for the 2024 and 2025 cohorts, as well as a final endline across all states in 2028. The surveys will gather information on sustainable food production capacity, income-generating activities and diversification, household consumption patterns and nutrition, as well as the adoption of sustainable farming practices following project-supported trainings. The mixed-method approach further includes qualitative research through Focus Group Discussions and Key Informant Interviews. These serve to provide deeper insights into community perceptions of project interventions, barriers to adoption of sustainable practices, and the roles of women and youth in income generation. The qualitative findings complement the quantitative survey data by explaining why certain changes occur, identifying structural and cultural factors influencing livelihoods, and highlighting lessons for future interventions. All collected data must be cleaned, validated and analysed. The contractor is responsible for preparing analytical reports for each round of data collection, integrating both quantitative and qualitative findings. Reports shall include descriptive results, trend analyses, and clear recommendations for project management and donor decision-making. The contractor must ensure ethical data handling, compliance with the "do no harm" principle, and avoidance of structural bias. Dissemination of findings to the partner system and local stakeholders is an integral part of the assignment, ensuring that results are accessible and contribute to learning beyond project boundaries. Finally, the contractor must establish a robust operational and security plan for data collection in the fragile context of South Sudan. This includes clear timelines, staffing, coordination with GIZ and implementing partners, risk assessments, contingency planning and adherence to humanitarian security protocols. The assignment therefore requires an experienced research organisation with proven expertise in large-scale data collection in fragile contexts, strong methodological capacities, effective field presence and security systems, and experience in agricultural and food security surveys. The contractor must ensure high-quality delivery across all phases of implementation, while maintaining conflict sensitivity, context appropriateness and methodological rigour. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
