Green Hydrogen Investments in India
GIZ provides consultancy to its partners through a wide array of methods. Most importantly, GIZ develops and implements solutions together with partners through close cooperation and process advisory. The project "Green Hydrogen Investments" (GH2I), implemented under the Indo-German Bilateral Development Cooperation by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Ministry of New and Renewable Energy India (MNRE), contributes to a sustainable and inclusive energy transition towards climate neutrality by improving the policy, institutional and technical requirements for the use of green hydrogen in India"s hard-to-abate sectors. The goal of this specific tender is to support GIZ and its partners in achieving these goals. Green hydrogen is particularly important for energy-intensive industrial sectors, such as the iron, e-SAF and fertilizer industry among others, which cannot be efficiently and cost-effectively decarbonized with purely electricity-based technologies. The objective of the tender is to provide high-quality advisory services, ad hoc studies and policy and regulatory instrument proposals and designs in the context of gH2 in hard-to-abate sectors in India based on international experience. The contract offers support through studies in the space of green ports, green iron and steel, e-SAF and green public procurement. The assignment provides the project also with ten regulatory and policy instruments: Policy Instruments: - Framework for Green Hydrogen Demand Creation, e.g. covering sector-specific pathways for the gradual substitution of grey hydrogen in refineries and fertilisers, utilizing non-mandatory and phased market-aligned approaches, and aligning green public procurement with India"s broader decarbonisation goals (NDCs) - Infrastructure Planning Framework, e.g. covering strategic cluster formation, pilot design, RACI-based roles, and tender design that incorporates quality and safety criteria (such as PESO compliance) alongside site selection and state-level capacity building. - Integration of Green Hydrogen in State Energy Planning (IEP), e.g. adopting a state-led approach to integrate into broader provincial energy strategies, building on existing projects such as the ongoing IEP project in Odisha to ensure regional alignment. - Gender Policy in Green Hydrogen, e.g. promoting gender inclusion across the value chain to ensure diverse participation and workforce development within the emerging green hydrogen economy Regulatory Instruments: - Green Hydrogen Infrastructure - Legal & Regulatory Framework, e.g. covering the assessment of existing legal frameworks and infrastructure-related laws (such as the PMP Act), identifying regulatory gaps that require amendments, and providing recommendations to ensure adequate legal backing for shared infrastructure. - Policy as a Code (Energy Regulations), e.g. covering the conversion of policies and regulatory provisions-including certification schemes, tariffs, GNA rules, and connectivity rules-into machine-readable formats to enable automated, consistent implementation and rule-based decision-making. - Port & Logistics Handling Norms for Green Hydrogen and Derivatives, e.g. covering the establishment of standards and procedures for the handling, storage, and transport of green fuels at ports, with a specific focus on addressing bunkering gaps for Ammonia and Methanol. - Green Iron and Steel Taxonomy Integration Framework, e.g. covering the integration of notified green steel taxonomy into public procurement and financing, ensuring alignment with national targets (NDCs) and broader decarbonisation efforts while providing guidance on the structuring of financial support mechanisms for equipment and process integration - Green Hydrogen Standardization Roadmap, e.g. covering the establishment of hydrogen standardization efforts within the Indo-German Energy Partnership and India's National Green Hydrogen Mission - e-SAF Regulatory Readiness Framework, e.g. covering the development of a regulatory framework for the production, certification, accounting, and export of e-SAF in India, aligned with international requirements as ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, RED III, and associated delegated acts. - European Commission, DG GROW - Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEsBrusselsFrist: 24.

International Consultancy for the Development of on-grid Renewable Energy Projects and Framework in Nigeria Lot 1
Short Project Description: Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP) NESP is currently in its third phase (June 2023 - May 2027) and still funded by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The programme is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in collaboration with Nigeria"s Federal Ministry of Power. Its core objective is to foster investments in domestic renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) markets while improving electricity access for disadvantaged, mostly rural communities, including those in conflict-affected areas. Background With a fast-growing population now estimated at 227 million, Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa. With only 60% of Nigeria"s population connected to the main grid, the rest remains unconnected. Power supply shortages do not only affect the living standards of Nigerians, but also the competitiveness of Nigeria"s businesses and industries. In most cases, Nigerians resort to expensive and polluting captive diesel generation to satisfy their power needs. As a result, Nigeria has become one of the largest markets for diesel generators in the world. With its huge natural and fossil resources, Nigeria is Africa's energy giant and energy exports are essential for the Nigerian economy transition. However, due to the destabilisation of oil prices there is an increasing interest by Nigeria to accelerate the energy transition by increasing investments in sustainable energy. The Energy Transition Plan (ETP) that was adopted in February 2022 provides an ambitious, long-term strategy for the energy transition. It builds on the Sustainable Energy for ALL (SEforALL) Action Agenda and its Vision 30:30:30, setting the target to increase power generation capacity to 30 gigawatts (GW) and the RE share in the electricity mix to 30% until 2030. Important climate policy documents, particularly the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and the National Policy on Climate Change, have been updated to show a higher level of ambition. Despite reforms in the past decade, Nigeria"s energy sector still faces significant challenges. On-grid generation is limited by weak transmission infrastructure, while the distribution side suffers from DisCos" liquidity crises and high technical and commercial losses. Electricity demand is estimated at 30,000 MW, compared to an average peak generation of 5,000 MW. To address these gaps, the Nigerian government passed the Electricity Act, 2023, repealing the Electric Power Sector Reforms Act, 2005. The Act decentralises the electricity market, empowering state governments to establish State Electricity Markets (SEMs). It prioritises RE deployment and aims to attract private investment into the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI). Several states are already setting up SEMs, but most lack the tools, skills, and resources to implement them effectively. Therefore, NESP is providing targeted technical support that will focus on the following key output indicators: On-grid (Premium Grids) Output indicators: 1. Identification and mapping of suitable areas for premium grid projects in cooperation with DisCos 2. Promote awareness and experiences with an implemented premium grid project with RE generation component 3. Support to DisCos to develop and implement economically sound business models and project implementation plans, network analysis and develop contractual documents Framework (Energy Transition Policy and State Electricity Market support) 1. new or improved laws, regulations or instrumetns to acheive the energy policy goals prioritised in the Nigerian Energy transition plan (e.g, energy access, renewable energy 2. Support 5 states on their respective State Electiricty Market through the development of policies, laws, or instruments to advance RE investment. Tasks of the contractor: Work package 1: Premium Grids (On-grid) This work package aims to support DisCos in identifying and mapping suitable sites for premium grids which include the use of NESP developed data-based tools as well as selecting and cooperating with RE developers for their implementation. The following activities are planned under this work package: 1. Development of pre-feasibility studies and support with tenders for premium grid projects 2. Technical assessment and analysis of identified premium grid projects. 3. Legal and transactional support for premium grid projects 4. Technical supervision and advisory services on project execution in the field. Work Package 2: Framework and Policy Development Support This work package aims to provide support for adaptive, flexible, demand-driven policy and regulatory framework development for selected subsectors covered by the ETP, with regards to EE and RE. The following activities are planned under this work package: 1. Technical support to NERC, State governments, NEMSA on the development of regulatory and investment framework to support RE and grid connected RE projects in Nigeria 2. Development of training materials and capacity building for the selected government partners. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHEschborn

New Procurement - Strategic Foresight in regard to the exam scheme and stance assessment.
In 2025, the Norwegian Directorate of Education and Training (Udir) received a comprehensive assignment from the Ministry of Education and Research (KD) to examine a safer and improved exam scheme in sixth form education. The aim of the KD assignment is to develop a sustainable exam scheme that tolerates change, which reduces risk and reduces costs. In addition the desired effect for the target groups is that the assignment from KD shall ensure a good connection with curricula in the subject(s) and that the quality principles in the framework for exams are adhered to. The background for the assignment from KD is, among other things, that the exam scheme in the last 5-6 years has been marked by a number of concurrent changes and events that affect the complexity and risk of the exam, including: Implementation of new curricula, as well as the need to further develop the content and format of exam development and the introduction of a new digital systemPandemienInduction of KI in societySelv if the exam is the assignment from KD's main focus. Must also be seen in the context of the stance assessment: The exam character and the stance character have the same purpose, i.e. an expression of the pupil's competence at the end of the training in the subject. The connection between these two schemes is significant for the future final evaluation scheme in disciplines, including the role of the exam. This is detailed in 5.1.The review of the assignment from KD lasts for several years and will assess all aspects of what is currently a very complex system, but also how the exams should be in the future. The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training has therefore appointed an internal work group that shall work on a strategic forward process in relation to the assignment from KD. Strategic foresight is about combining analyses of long term trends and possible futures with inter-disciplinary cooperation and anchoring. The foresight methodology can function as an important tool for navigating uncertainties and identifying possibilities. Udir will use the methodology in relation to the assignment in this procurement, given the complex character of the exam system, as well as uncertainties connected to the future of the exams. The tenderer shall assist Udir's internal work group in identifying driving forces for the final assessment as well as developing future scenarios by utilising the foresight methodology. See further description in point 1-3 under point 5.2 below. The mapping of driving forces shall occur in cooperation with different groups of interested parties. The interested parties, for example, include the different interest organisations connected to the education field, as well as other interested parties such as counties, the Government Manager, professional environments, suppliers of technical systems etc. The forwarding work is limited to apply to a study preparatory education programme and joint subjects in sixth form education. The assignment shall be implemented by 1 September 2027. The cost limit for the main assignment is NOK 1.2 million excluding VAT. In addition the contracting authority would like to enter into an option for an extension and extension of the assignment for 1 year, see point 5.4. The option is for exams in vocational subjects. See points 4 and 5 in the tender documentation for a complete description of the delivery. The Norwegian Directorate of Education and Training reserves the right to make political decisions that can lead to changes in the scope of the assignment. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHEschborn

Technical advisory services on the development of the National Health Insurance scheme in Nepal
Nepal has made significant progress in improving the overall health status of the population, with huge improvements in life expectancy and reductions in maternal and child mortality rates. However, access to quality healthcare remains unequal, as many citizens face barriers due to geography, socio-economic status, and economic constraints. Nepal National Health Accounts (NHA) report indicates that out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare expenses accounted for 54.2% of total health spending in 2019/20, exceeding the South Asian average of 48.2% (WHO 2023). Government contributions to health expenditure are only 30%, which is lower than the regional average of 42% (WHO GHED 2023). A 2018 study found that 10.3% of households faced catastrophic health expenditures monthly (Ghimire et al. 2018). Furthermore, the report found that 10.7% of households spent 10% of their total household expenditure on health and 2.4% even spent 25%, implying that Nepalese households face increased vulnerability to catastrophic health expenditures risking impoverishment (ADB 2024). To achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC), Nepal seeks to reduce OOP spending through the National Health Insurance (NHI), launched in 2016. This initiative, overseen by the Health Insurance Board (HIB), aims to provide universal access to quality health services, primarily for the informal sector. Currently, the NHI is operational in all 753 local structures across 77 districts. Though the Health Insurance Act 2017 has clearly mentioned the health insurance to be mandatory, in practice this is not yet enforced; highlighted by the fact that out of 8.1 million ever-enrolled, currently only 4.4 are actively insured as of June 2024. The increasing coverage and expansion of the NHI is a priority to the Government of Nepal (GoN) and strengthening the institution has been identified as an important action area within the strategies in both the National Health Financing Strategy (NHFS) 2022-2032 and in the National Health Sector Strategic Plan (NHSSP) 2022-2030. GIZ has been supporting the national health insurance program since 2013, on policy advisory aspects as well as technical aspects. To strengthen HIB, GIZ supported a pool of experts through the Support to Health Sector Strategy (S2HSS) program in 2023. The pool of experts supported in defining roles and responsibilities of the policy, planning and monitoring department (PPMD) and developing job descriptions for those assigned to the departments, as envisioned in the Organisation and Management (O&M) survey. In addition, the support was extended for development of crucial policy documents, strategies, guidelines, and plans. On a technical front, GIZ supported HIB for improving the open-source insurance management information system (openIMIS) to streamline core business processes: from enrollment, member verification, policy activation to claims processing and reimbursement. Meanwhile, in the current context of HIB with constrained institutional capacity despite having developed numerous strategic documents in 2023, prioritizing its execution along with implementation of necessary reforms is now critical. Additionally, increasing population coverage, contextually redefining the benefit package, enhanced claims processing, strategic purchasing, actuarial analysis for decision modelling, using data analytics for enhancing quality of care and coordination with other actors like the Social Security Fund (SSF), Employee"s Provident Fund (EPF) etc. is vital to improve efficiency and avoid redundancy in successful implementation of the health insurance program. In order to address these policy, strategy and operational level challenges, GIZ calls for a team of nine short-term and long-term experts with diverse expertise for building up the health insurance to strengthen the institutional capacities of the HIB and other social protection actors to implement the national health insurance program in Nepal. The team will consist of 2 international experts on organizational management and health insurance, 1 short-term national senior expert on health insurance, 4 national short-term experts (covering the topics insurance law, health economics, quality management and actuary analysis) and 2 national long-term experts (health economist and Monitoring & Evaluation specialist). The contract shall be managed and overseen by an international team leader and supported by a national team leader. The period of assignment of the contract will be 01 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.
