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) GmbH

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) GmbHEschborn
81318103 - Third Party Monitoring (TPM) of GIZ MHPSS projects inside Syria
Context Following over a decade of conflict, Syria is undergoing a critical transition after the fall of the Assad regime in late 2024 and the formation of a transitional government, raising cautious hope for peace and inclusive state-building. Regional actors like the UAE and Qatar are supporting stabilization, including repayment of Syria"s World Bank debt, while lifted U.S. sanctions and partial EU sanction relief are enabling economic recovery and reconstruction. Despite these positive developments, humanitarian needs remain immense. Over 16.7 million people require aid, with 90% of the population living below the poverty line, 7.2 million internally displaced, and public services overstretched. Hospitals lack capacity, supplies are scarce, and many communities remain without safe shelter, clean water, or reliable health services. In this context, BMZ continues its commitment to Syria"s recovery. Since 2020, GIZ has implemented a Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) project to improve services for IDPs and host communities, addressing rising psychosocial distress worsened by the 2023 earthquakes. The program builds local health and social sector capacity through training in interventions such as CBT, psychodrama, and emergency pedagogy, alongside mentoring and supervision to tackle the shortage of qualified professionals. Operating mainly in North Syria while expanding nationwide, the project works with over 15 local partners to strengthen service coordination and referral systems. Managed remotely from Türkiye and Iraq, the program integrates Third Party Monitoring (TPM) to enhance accountability, transparency, and effective steering of its activities until its current term ends in June 2026.
