Tender no. 83412320 for contracting a local company to conduct a Needs Assessment for capacity development of selected CSOs in Moldova

The German Development Cooperation through GIZ is looking for a local company or consortium of companies to conduct a needs assessment of selected CSOs and based on the identified needs design capacity building plan, within its regional project “Strengthening Civil Society in the Eastern Partnership Countries”.

CSOs play a key role in implementing the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda and in developing a citizen-oriented society. However, in the countries of the Eastern Partnership, organisations committed to long-term and inclusive local development do not have sufficient institutional and implementation capacities, regional dialogue formats and external networking opportunities. The results of the assignment would allow to understand and identify the existing gaps, issues, and challenges CSOs face in Moldova, the needs for improving institutional capacities, as well as to propose corresponding measures and topics for the organization of capacity building trainings, experience exchange events and allocation of small grants.
