Contact for queries on the RFQ:

Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) is implementing the Empowerment through Skills Program (ESP) in Tanzania. The ESP is a 7-year program (2021-2028) implemented by CICan in close collaboration with the Tanzanian Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) through the Department of Technical and Vocational Training (DTVET). The ESP is funded by the Government of Canada.

ESP’s ultimate outcome is: Improved economic participation by women and adolescent girls in Tanzania. Refer to Annex 1 for an overview of the project and the list of partner Folk Development Colleges (FDCs), Community Based Organizations (CBOs), and Canadian colleges & institutes.

A critical component to the success of the ESP is the ability to understand, develop, and deliver gender responsive, environmentally sensitive, demand driven, and competency-based programming and capacity-building activities with Tanzanian partners that lead to meaningful employment, self-employment and/or entrepreneurship for women, adolescent girls, and teenage mothers.

ESP has a short-term consultancy requirement for the services of a Tanzanian firm to conduct a review of current best practices that facilitate the success of women, adolescent girls, and teenage mothers in technical and vocational short courses with a particular focus on the courses offered by partner Folk Development Colleges (FDCs) and Community Based Organizations (CBOs).

This review will include an examination of the interventions, and best practices that governments, NGOs and other agencies implement to increase awareness, access, admission, enrollment, retention, and graduation of women, adolescent girls, and teenage mothers in technical and vocational short courses.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified Consultancy firms meeting the requirements outlined in the RFP.

The expected Level of Effort is between 75-90 days with additional travel and communication costs based on actuals.

Proposals are encouraged from qualified firms owned or led by women.
