About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender focuses on strengthening inclusive local democracy mechanisms in Burkina Faso, a nation facing significant multidimensional crises including security, political instability, humanitarian challenges, and socio-economic difficulties. Ranked 184th out of 191 countries on the 2022 Human Development Index, Burkina Faso is highly vulnerable. The security situation is critical, with frequent terrorist attacks causing widespread population displacement. Politically, the country has experienced instability, marked by two coups in 2022, and an increasingly authoritarian trend, with growing repression of opposition members, human rights activists, and civil society organizations. The project aims to address these challenges by enhancing local governance structures, promoting citizen participation, and fostering more inclusive democratic processes at the community level. The initiative seeks to support efforts to build resilience, improve service delivery, and empower local communities amidst these complex circumstances. The specific activities and expected outcomes will be detailed in the full tender documents.
This is a services contract in the general supplies sector. Located in Germany, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.

Description
Original language: FrenchBurkina Faso is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world. According to the Human Development Index 2022 of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Burkina Faso ranks 184th out of 191 countries. Burkina Faso has been facing a multidimensional crisis for several years now: (security) political, humanitarian and socio-economic. The security situation is worrying. Regular terrorist attacks lead to the displacement of the population from insecure regions (e.g. north, east) and from the northern regions to the southern and central regions. The political situation has remained unstable and increasingly authoritarian since the two coups in 2022. Opposition members, human rights activists and civil society organisations have recently been increasingly the victims of repression. At municipal level, elected structures (mayors and municipal councils) have been dissolved and run by transitional delegations (Délégations Spéciales), which are headed by representatives of the central government in the form of prefects. As part of the TC module "Decentralisation and Social Cohesion in Burkina Faso" (Programme Décentralisation et Cohésion Sociale, PDCS), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is promoting transparent, participatory and inclusive local governance in a total of 36 partner municipalities in the Cascades, Hauts Bassins and Sud-Ouest regions (term until 12/2027). The central cross-cutting theme is the promotion of women and young people in local governance and the development of capacities and mechanisms to take better account of the needs of women, children and young people in local matters. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH would like to contract an international consulting firm to provide national and international experts for the implementation of a total of three work packages. These are 1) Promoting women in local governance by creating an institutional environment for women's participation in local decision-making processes, 2) Promoting children and youth in local development and 3) Strengthening the inclusiveness of local participation and accountability processes. The future contractor will thus contribute in particular to the implementation of output 2 of the TC module and make an important contribution to achieving the overall objective.
