Subject Line: ESP RFP – ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTANCY
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.

Short-term Consultancy Requirement
ESP has a short-term consultancy requirement for the services of a Consultancy Firm to conduct a review of environment, climate and sustainability practices in its 12 partner Folk Development Colleges (FDCs). The Consultancy Firm will also develop and deliver a resource toolkit and capacity-building Training-of-Trainers (ToT) workshops to FDC and CBO staff.

Note that Kiswahili is the language of instruction in the partner FDCs and CBOs as well as the most common language used in the districts that the project is working in (English is not spoken or understood in many communities, by many students, and by some staff). Hence, the consultancy firm will need to have some local Kiswahili speakers for the field work, and to deliver or co-deliver the workshops.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified Consultancy firms meeting the requirements outlined in the RFP.
Proposals are encouraged from qualified firms owned or led by women.
