81285875-Employment-oriented MSME Promotion Project

Referenznummer der Bekanntmachung: 81285875

Dienstleistungen

The GIZ-implemented project "Employment-oriented MSME promotion in Jordan" (herein after referred to as MSME Project) is part of a special initiative by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) on Stabilization and Development in the MENA region, which aims at boosting economic and social prospects for people in the region. The project supports Jordan"s objectives of economic growth and employment creation as laid down in the "Jordan 2025 - A National Vision and Strategy" and the "Jordan Economic Growth Plan 2018-2022".

The project supports the implementation of sectoral and market strategies in three sectors, namely tourism, food processing, and ICT sectors, with the core objective of boosting growth and employment prospects for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Important project partners are governmental agencies engaged in MSME promotion, businesses, and professional associations as well as the national and local chambers of commerce and industry. The project ultimately targets jobseekers, entrepreneurs, and employees of Jordanian MSMEs by enabling companies to increase their competitiveness and create more job opportunities. A special focus is placed on young people entering the job market as well as women. Improving the conditions under which MSMEs operate as well as the offer of services and skills they require, should also encourage entrepreneurs to start their own businesses, leading to a higher density of MSMEs and to employment-intensive growth. On an institutional level, the project strengthens the capacities of key partners to provide relevant services and promote policies that improve the business-enabling environment for MSMEs.

The published tender at hand is to seek a qualified consultancy firm for the "Final Implementation Phase of Tourism Licensing Reform in Jordan". This assignment will continue the support for the Government of Jordan (GoJ) to secure implementation of the tourism licensing reform, in order for the GoJ to realize its commitment for a conducive and enabling business and investment environment. The reform is expected to ultimately enhance MSMEs" prospects for employment-oriented growth by streamlining procedures, improving coordination among involved entities, and enhancing transparency, predictability, and clarity of requirements. Main partners for this assignment include Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Supply (MoITS), in its capacity as national coordinator, and Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA), in its capacity as regulatory authority for the tourism sector.

The tender at hand is an open procedure for consultancy services to support the implementation of the "Final Implementation Phase of Tourism Licensing Reform in Jordan". The scope of the assignment covers five economic categories/ activities in the tourism sector in Jordan (e.g., accommodation, tour guides, etc.) and will build on the outcomes and deliverables from previous support provided in phases 1 and 2. The assignment is designed around 3 main Work Packages as follows:

Work Package (1): Reform of Licensing Framework for 5 tourism economic activities - Aims to support The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA) in implementing Prime Ministry"s decision to replace the tourism sectoral licenses with a classification framework. Planned activities include Legal reform and institutional (procedural) reform. The legal reform entails refining classification requirements as well as legal review and drafting of secondary legislations (i.e., bylaws and instructions). The institutional (procedural) reform entails reviewing current classification procedures, developing new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the classification framework, and developing informative manuals for potential businesses. In carrying out these activities, the contractor will facilitate consultation dialogue sessions with stakeholders to secure buy-in. Moreover, gender mainstreaming activities will be undertaken, which includes selection of 1 Women Economic Empowerment recommendation and supporting its implementation in close collaboration and dialogue with relevant partners.

Work Package (2): Capacity Building and Awareness Raising - Aims to support the main implementing partners, by enhancing the personal, institutional, and organizational capacities of key staff and officials to effectively implement and sustain the reform and raise public"s awareness on the new framework. This would be achieved through enhancing the capacities of the implementing partners, including MoTA, specialized tourism associations, and relevant public sector entities (e.g., Municipalities, sectoral Ministries, etc.) on the newly developed regulatory models, legislations, and procedures related to classification. More specifically, it entails assessing capacities, identifying needs/ skill gaps, designing, and executing a capacity building training programme, and supporting the development of an outreach strategy/ awareness campaign.

Work Package (2): Measuring Results (M&E), and Inclusion - Aims to measure reform"s impact on MSMEs and women-led MSMEs, and assess the contribution of this assignment toward achieving project"s output indicators. This would be achieved through developing and executing base-line to capture the burden of the current licensing framework in addition to end-line surveys to capture reform"s impact on MSMEs and women-led businesses (i.e., after the implementation of reform). The contribution to project"s indicators would be assessed through focus groups/ surveys based on the final draft versions of the developed legislations and SOPs (activities of work package 1). In delivering this, the bidder would identify a representative sample, develop and execute data collection, undertake data analysis and reporting. The partnership delivery approach would be adopted throughout to enhance the implementing partner"s capacities to measure the impact on businesses 1 year after enactment of the reform and legislations.
