TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE PREPARATION OF NATIONAL ACTION PLANS TO IMPLEMENT THE ECOWAS POLICY ON GENDER MAINSTREAMING IN ENERGY ACCESS IN EACH OF THE 15 ECOWAS MEMBER STATES

ECREEE is recruiting local consultants in each of the Member States to support them in the preparation of the national Action Plans to operationalize the ECOWAS Policy for Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access at the National level. The aim of this process is to transform the commitment made at the regional level by the Heads of all Member States into national action.

The national consultants appointed will support each of the 15 ECOWAS Member States to:

• Identify the best routes to achieve the strategic objectives of the ECOWAS Policy for Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access
• Develop an Action Plan for Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access, drawing from the strategic objectives and targets set in the ECOWAS Policy for Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access, but adapted to the national circumstances.
• Organise and deliver one national workshop per country for the adoption of the national policy and action plan.

A total of 15 documents with a request for proposals have been published, one per Member State. However, and in order to benefit from economies of scale, consultants who can reach and have experience in more than one country are encouraged to prepare joint bids for more than one Member State.

The deadline for submission of proposals is the 29^th of March 2019. Proposals should be sent by email to procurement[a]ecreee.org  clearly indicating in the subject: “PROPOSAL FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO INSTITUTIONALISE THE ECOWAS GENDER AND ENERGY POLICY IN [relevant country/ies]”.
