Recruitment of Technical Assistance Team for the Safe Seas Africa programme
The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) and the Red Sea/Horn of Africa region is of critical importance, as these waterways serve as vital chokepoints connecting the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal. The region has been particularly exposed to maritime threats with direct repercussions on global trade flows and energy security. Most countries of the region are not appropriately equipped and staffed to properly manage their maritime domain or to ensure the monitoring and the security of their national maritime zone of interest and ports' infrastructure, nor do they have the relevant national legislation finalised and updated jurisdictional clauses in place. The region lacks effective maritime surveillance capacity and relies heavily on outside actors to protect maritime commerce and shipping. As a result, much of the WIO regions’ maritime domain remains vulnerable to numerous maritime crimes and threats to port security. European Union (EU) remains the largest partner in the region that is supporting the Coastal States of the WIO region in the combined effort for peace, stability and maritime security. EU is committed to further support the region to strengthen national maritime coordination mechanisms, port and maritime law enforcement capacities and maritime domain awareness, while promoting regional information-sharing and operational cooperation. Emphasis is placed on addressing trafficking networks, enhancing legal frameworks, ensuring effective “legal finish” and aligning actions with regional and international frameworks such as the Djibouti Code of Conduct and relevant IMO conventions. For the smooth implementation of the programme, it is proposed to recruit a Technical Assistance Team (TAT) with the objective to contribute to enhance maritime security and safety of navigation in the WIO and Red Sea/Horn of Africa regions. Overall objective: To support the effective, coherent and results‑oriented implementation of the Safe Seas for Africa programme (SSA) and the Red Sea/Horn of Africa programme, thereby contributing to enhanced coordination of activities to improve maritime security and safety of navigation in the WIO and the Red Sea/Horn of Africa regions. Specific objectives: 1. Programme coordination and coherence: To ensure effective coordination, supervision and coherence of actions implemented under the SSA programme and Red Sea/Horn of Africa programme, including complementarity and synergies among implementing partners (IOC, UNODC, IMO, INTERPOL and others). 2. Ownership and engagement To strengthen monitoring of implementation at country level and support national stakeholders in addressing challenges and enhancing ownership. 3. Links with the regional maritime security architecture To strengthen coordination and cooperation between regional and national partners and the RCOC and RMIFC and support Red Sea/Horn of Africa partner countries in establishing and strengthening links to the two centres, when and if possible. 4. Results‑based management and reporting To ensure results‑based management and strategic oversight of both programmes through systematic monitoring of the logframe indicators, analysis of progress at country and regional level, and provision of evidence‑based recommendations for decision-making and programme steering. 5. Strategic support to the EU To provide continuous technical and strategic support and guidance to the EU in the implementation of the SSA and Red Sea/Horn of Africa programmes, ensuring coherence with wider EU initiatives and policies in the region. The Contracting Authority will be the EU Delegation in Mauritius. Tentatively, the TA team is expected to comprise of a Regional Coordinator / Team Leader, two Coordinators (Indian Ocean and Red Sea/Horn of Africa regions respectively), an Assistant Coordinator. The core Team will be based in Mauritius while the Coordinator of the Red Sea/Horn of Africa region will be based in Nairobi.

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).

10012414 - Development of Local Land Use and Sustainable Development Plans (LLUSDP) in four target municipalities in Cameroon
Cameroon possesses an exceptional forest heritage, with nearly 19 million hectares of dense rainforest covering almost 40 % of its territory. Located in the Congo Basin-the world's second-largest tropical forest after the Amazon-these forests are a major biodiversity reservoir and a critical global carbon sink. However, this ecological capital is under increasing pressure. Cameroon's annual deforestation rate is estimated at 0.6-1 %, corresponding to more than 100,000 hectares lost each year. Direct drivers include illegal logging, mining, infrastructure development, unplanned urbanisation and agricultural expansion, the latter accounting for about 60 % of total deforestation. In 2021, the Centre, South and Littoral regions alone represented around 61 % of national forest loss. These trends are reinforced by structural factors such as rapid population growth (expected to double by 2046), accelerating urbanisation, persistent rural poverty, weak land governance and limited planning capacity at local level. In response, Cameroon has committed to major international frameworks aimed at reducing deforestation and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, notably the Paris Agreement (COP21) and the Glasgow Forest Declaration (COP26). Nationally, land-use planning reforms-especially the Framework Law on Land Use Planning and its instruments (national, regional and local plans, including LLUSDP)-seek to establish integrated multi-level spatial planning. Yet implementation remains constrained by insufficient legal, technical and operational capacities, limiting effective coordination of development and forest conservation. Within this context, the GIZ-implemented module "Capacity Building in Land Use Planning," financed by CAFI and BMZ, aims to promote inclusive and sustainable spatial planning that reduces forest pressure while supporting balanced economic development. The module comprises five outputs, including strengthening the legal basis for the 2011 planning law, building municipal and regional planning capacities, developing LLUSDP in four pilot municipalities, and preparing methodological tools for the third national forest inventory. Among its components, Output 4 is particularly important from a strategic perspective. It aims to develop LLUSDP in the municipalities of Ngambé-Tikar and Mfou (Central Region), Melong (Littoral Region) and Akom II (Southern Region). These LLUSDP will be developed in accordance with the guidelines set out in the methodological guide for developing LLUSDP, which was drawn up in 2021 with the support of GIZ as part of the ABC-PADER programme. This methodology was also tested as part of the previous programme through the development of the LLUSDP for Ngong (Northern Region). This practical experience will therefore be put to good use in this module. In addition, the methodology will take into account the potential existence of ecosystem corridors in order to preserve ecological connectivity, which is essential for the movement of animal species, ecosystem regeneration and climate resilience. This will promote an inter-municipal vision of continuity between forests, protected areas, etc. The LLUSDP development process will be participatory, involving a range of stakeholders, including municipal authorities, the relevant sectoral administrations (MINEPAT, MINDDEVEL, MINDCAF, MINFOF, MINADER, MINEPIA MINMIDT, MINMIDT, MINTP, MINEPDED, etc.), traditional authorities, women, young people, etc. It will improve the determination of land uses and utilisation, leading to a reduction in land conflicts and pressure on forest resources. In addition, emphasis will be placed on the initial implementation of the validated LLUSDP with the subsequent development of implementation support plans. Ultimately, Output 4 is a fundamental lever for making the LLUSDP an operational tool for combating deforestation and land degradation, while strengthening territorial governance and the resilience of local communities.

Operationalisation of the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus in Haiti under the Multisector Program for the Resilience and Recovery of Social Services
As “first pillar” of the Programme multisectoriel pour la Résilience et la relance des Services sociaux (PMRS) / Multisectoral Programme for Resilience and Recovery of Social Services, this Technical Assistance aims at operationalising the triple Nexus (humanitarian, development and peace) among all stakeholders engaged in providing external aid in Haiti. Several cooperation mechanisms exist in Haiti, although their scope is limited by sector of intervention or type of organisations (e.g. humanitarian clusters, sectoral tables, etc.). The external service provider, specialised in nexus operationalisation in conflict-affected environment, will connect these initiatives and ensure a joint humanitarian, development and peace analysis focusing on the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince in order to achieve a coordinated programming. This exercise, supported by in-depth consultations with local actors, will lay the foundation for “pillar 2” of the programme [implement multisector projects to facilitate socio-economic recovery through the restoration of essential infrastructure and public services, and in fine improve the quality of life]; the external provider will also support the monitoring of the second pillar’s implementation. And the EU, supported by the external provider, shall promote peacebuilding among key national and international decision makers. This component will build on the approach for Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reintegration - Community Violence Reduction (DDR-CVR) aimed at restoring peace and stability in conflict and post-conflict settings.

Multi Disciplinary Design Team Services for the delivery of six (6) additional ICU bed spaces at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin.
Beaumont Hospital is the principal teaching hospital for the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and has an international reputation for excellence in patient care, medical education, innovation and research. In addition to providing a wide range of national and regional services, Beaumont Hospital delivers acute care to a population of over 500,000 people within its local catchment area and is host to Centres of Excellence in Neuroscience, Cancer and Renal Transplantation. The Board of Beaumont Hospital proposes to undertake a programme of works to provide additional Intensive Care Unit (ICU) bed capacity. The project will deliver six additional ICU bed spaces, together with the required ancillary accommodation, through the reconfiguration and refurbishment of existing hospital space. Collectively, these works will strengthen critical care resilience, enhance operational flexibility, and support the safe and sustainable delivery of acute services at Beaumont Hospital. Design Team Services shall be provided across all project stages for both the new six-bed ICU development and the DOSA and Staff facilities Relocation Works. It is proposed to reconfigure an existing area within the Beaumont Hospital campus, currently accommodating the DOSA and staff changing facilities, to deliver six additional ICU bed spaces with associated ancillary accommodation. The proposal utilises the existing floor plate and capitalises on the area’s close proximity to the current ICU, enabling a timely and cost-effective increase in critical care capacity while minimising disruption to ongoing hospital operations. To facilitate the delivery of the new ICU accommodation, an advance enabling works package will be required to be completed. This enabling package will provide alternative accommodation for the existing Day of Surgery Admission DOSA and staff changing facilities, which must be relocated to accommodate the new ICU unit. In the first instance, a feasibility study shall be undertaken as part of the Design Team Services to identify the most appropriate alternative accommodation within the hospital campus for the relocated DOSA offices and staff changing facilities. This study may include the development of up to three (3) alternative layout options for consideration and approval by the Client. The net floor area of the existing DOSA and Staff Changing Facilities is approximately. 340m2.

Provision of research and evaluation services for the delivery of the Creative Climate Action Fund III (2026-2029) to the Creative Ireland Programme
Creative Ireland is holding an open grant call for funding of approximately 10-15 Creative Climate Action projects lasting three years (36-month period) from 2026 to 2029. The successful grantees will likely include institutions and organisations with capacity to deliver large-scale projects, such as national cultural, climate and community organisations, NGOs, businesses, local authorities, networks and academic institutions working in the intersection of climate action, adaptation and creativity. There will be a focus on inter-disciplinary teams that include community partners, climate scientists, evaluators, and creative practitioners. The total value of grant funding is €6.5 million. A comprehensive, independent evaluation of the Creative Climate Action Fund III (2026-2029) initiative will provide an invaluable evidence-base to demonstrate to policymakers and funding Departments the impact and value of the initiative and its scalability. There is growing acknowledgement amongst policymakers that narrow macroeconomic measures like GDP do not capture the full range of citizens’ lived experiences. A sole focus on indicators like GDP can lead to other aspects of life – particularly those that cannot be easily assigned a monetary value, such as wellbeing, social inclusion and just transition – being undervalued. It is important that the final research equally balances both elements. It is envisaged that the process of the research will include, but not be limited to: * Coordination of 10-15 embedded evaluators at project level. The grantees are required to have an embedded evaluator in place at the beginning of the project. The successful tenderer is expected to develop a community of practice of the embedded evaluators group via 3-4 meetings per year to ensure a consistent approach to evaluation at project level. * Leading a workshop around evaluation methodologies and support in clarifying project outputs and outcomes for the embedded evaluators in 2026. * Regular update meetings between the Creative Ireland team and the successful tenderer, approximately 4 meetings per year, will be scheduled throughout the life of the contract * Focus Groups with participants across all projects. These focus group may be made up of different disciplines, difference themes, geographical relevance etc. 5-6 different focus groups are anticipated. * One-to-One interviews with a broad cross section of stakeholders. This stakeholder group will be selected in collaboration with the Creative Ireland team, and it is anticipated that approximately 20-30 interviews will be undertaken. * Coordination with other Creative Ireland evaluations (e.g. Shared Island) to ensure that participants in projects are not being evaluated by multiple different sources

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.
