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.

81322354-Promoting digital solutions in Technical and Vocational Education and training delivery in Benin
Benin has a young population of 13.4 million, with an annual demographic growth rate of 2.7% (2022). 42% of the population is under 15 years old, and every year, approximately 200,000 young people join the labour market. Despite economic growth of around 6% per year (2017-2022), the labour market cannot offer qualified employment to all young people. 84% of the workforce is employed in precarious conditions in the informal sector, and 72% (92% of young people aged 15 to 24) is underemployed in terms of income or working hours, leading to a high poverty rate of 49.6% and a Gini coefficient of 0.48 (World Bank 2022). The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system in Benin is insufficiently preparing young people for the labour market. Currently, 30,000 young people, of whom 31% are women, are enrolled in formal TVET, which represents only 3.8% of all secondary school students. Low enrolment in TVET can be attributed to poor quality training, high entry requirements, lack of information about labour market needs, and high fees for trainees' families. Recognising these constraints, the government of Benin has adopted a National Strategy for TVET 2020-2030, aiming to enhance the quality of technical and vocational skills and qualifications in priority sectors of the economy. The government is committed to improving governance, modernising curricula, and certifying apprenticeships to contribute to the structural transformation of the economy as outlined in the Government Action Programme PAG2 (2021-2024). The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is supporting Benin in reforming its vocational training system through the Promotion of Vocational Training Project (ProFoP). This project aims to improve the institutional framework for vocational training aligned with the local economy's needs. It encourages systematic cooperative relationships between state structures responsible for vocational training and the private sector, and pilots cooperative training approaches in selected sectors. The project measures support practical, inclusive vocational training to increase opportunities for decent employment and secure income, particularly for women. The project, initially implemented from 06/2021-05/2024, has been extended until December 2027 with co-financing from the European Union. The objective remains improving the institutional framework for formal vocational training geared to private sector needs. The project is structured around four main outputs: Output 1: Strengthen the steering and implementation capacities of public vocational training institutions by involving private sector structures. Improved governance and steering capacities will enable the Ministry of Secondary, Vocational and Technical Education (MESTFP) to design frameworks to promote demand-driven vocational training in dialogue with the business sector and other ministries. Output 2: Improve cooperation mechanisms between state and private-sector players in dual vocational training. Output 3: Pilot dual vocational training in sectors such as renewable energy, agriculture, and IT, with parts of the training conducted in companies. Output 4: Enhance career guidance, training support, and integration measures for young people, particularly women and disadvantaged groups. Digitalisation is integrated across all the project"s outputs, notably through: - Strengthening the digital skills of players at the macro, meso, and micro levels . - Integrating digital solutions into career guidance, vocational training delivery, and labour-market integration services. - Promoting innovative approaches to support partner countries in shaping structural change and adapting the TVET systems to the future of work. - Providing self-paced e-learning courses on inclusive teaching skills for TVET teachers, focusing on digital accessibility in education and creating accessible digital products and online learning sessions. Description of Services Objective and indicators The contractor will support the development and integration of digital contents and solutions in designing and delivering vocational training courses across all four outputs of the project. The contractor will contribute to achieving the following indicators: Module Indicator 2: 555 companies supported by the module will take on the training function in their own company. Module Indicator 3: 2,100 apprentices out of 3,000 (70%), including 630 women (40%), will find a job within six months of completing their training. Output Indicator 1.2: 100 representatives, including 30 women, from MESTFP and the private sector, will confirm they are very good or good at applying the knowledge acquired to implement the vocational training reform. Output Indicator 2.2: 750 companies, including 225 women-led companies, will improve their capacity to train apprentices in-house.
