This is formalized under the Financing Agreement between Ukraine and the International Development Association for the Program (CREDIT NUMBER 7626-UA). An additional US$150 million is provided under the Special Program for Ukraine and Moldova Recovery (SPUR) of the International Development Association (IDA) Crisis Facility, as outlined in the Loan Agreement between Ukraine and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development for the Program (LOAN NUMBER 9721-UA).

Furthermore, US$31.1 million in Additional Financing is provided through grant resources, consisting of US$30.0 million from the Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction, and Reform Multi-Donor Trust Fund and US$1.1 million from the Global Partnership for Education Fund. This additional financing is formalized under the Grant Agreement between Ukraine and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Development Association, jointly acting as a Supervising Entity for the Global Partnership for Education Fund and as administrator of the Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction, and Reform Multi-Donor Trust Fund (URTF GRANT NUMBER TF0D0612; GPE GRANT NUMBER TF0D0613), and supports activities related to the continued implementation of the Program.
Hereinafter, the portion of the Operation financed through the PforR is referred to as the Program and the portion financed through the IPF is referred to as the Project.
The Project complements the LEARN by supporting the piloting of the NUS reform in grades 8 to 12 and strengthening the MoES’ capacity for education system management.
The Project will provide technical support to pilot the NUS reform in selected schools for grades 8 to 12, through: (i) developing, printing, delivering, and testing teaching and learning materials for the NUS Pilot; (ii) developing and carrying out training programs to teachers, school principals, and their deputies; (iii) providing technical assistance to design a fit-for-purpose instrument for measuring teacher classroom practices and to implement said instrument in a sample of classrooms in grades 8 and 9; and (iv) providing STEM, ICT, and other required equipment aligned with the NUS standards to schools in the NUS Pilot at the basic and upper-secondary education levels for grades 8 to 12.
Importantly, the IPF will also strengthen the management capacity of the MoES to manage, monitor, and evaluate the rollout of the NUS reform through: (i) providing technical assistance to the MoES’ units responsible for NUS implementation; (ii) strengthening the Ukrainian Institute of Education Development (“UIRO”) capacity; (iii) creating a Special Online Platform (“SOP”) for State Final Examination (“DPA”); (iv) modernizing the education management information system (“AIKOM”); (v) improving the education infrastructure planning.
Scope and impact
With a funding commitment of $419,9 million and a timeline extending to 2027, LEARN represents a transformative effort to ensure every child in Ukraine has access to safe, high-quality education. The initiative not only addresses immediate challenges posed by the conflict but also lays the groundwork for a resilient and future-ready education system.
The Consultant’s role in this program is critical, as they will design and implement robust frameworks and strategies to meet the evolving demands of Ukraine’s education system. These efforts will contribute to long-term educational recovery, resilience, and equity, ensuring that Ukrainian students are prepared for the challenges of a globalized, knowledge-driven world.
II. OBJECTIVES
The Assignment for the Consultant is:
TLM for each educational domain should consist of a study program, model sets of tasks, model projects, and corresponding compensatory learning course of at least 24 learning hours to be introduced/ implemented as an additional/ compensatory instrument for overcoming the learning gaps apart from/ concurrently with the textbooks for 10th grade participating in approbation in the pilot liceums. The compensatory learning course should be a set of additional multilevel competence-based assessment/ learning tasks aimed at the support/ equalizing students with different personal and social backgrounds, educational needs, learning experiences/ achievements.
This activity focuses on the development of TLM for all educational areas to equip teachers of schools participating in the piloting the State Standard of Profiled Upper-Secondary Education (SSPUSE)" (hereinafter – pilot schools) with the materials for:
These materials will be used by teachers of the pilot schools directly in the educational process to assess/ achieve expected learning outcomes, and/or serve as models for the development of similar tasks by teachers and authors of curricula/manuals/textbooks, ensuring a unified approach to assessing students’ learning achievement as well as comprehensive strategies for coping with educational losses.
Main tasks:
The Consultant will create materials that contain study programs, sets of model tasks, model projects, compensatory learning courses for all 10 educational domains, aimed at assessing the mandatory learning outcomes defined by the SSBSE/ SSPUSE. These materials will be used directly in the educational process by pilot schools, will serve as examples for teachers and authors of educational content, and will contribute to a unified approach to assessment. The developed materials will also be adapted for use with Ukrainian students abroad and in temporarily occupied/de-occupied territories, supporting the recognition of learning outcomes for students with limited or disrupted access to Ukrainian education.
A digital repository preliminary developed as a storage for TLMs under the Project Consulting services for the development of teaching and learning materials (TLM) for the final year of study at the level of basic secondary education (9th grade) and owned by an agency appointed by MoES will be upgraded to storage TLMs developed under Component 1 of this Assignment, and the User Manual for repository will be updated. The repository will support efficient storing, search, filtering, classification, and retrieval of tasks developed within Component 1 aligned with specific learning outcomes. This platform will ensure open access to the materials for educators, curricula/ materials’ developers, and other stakeholders. The main idea of the repository is to create collections of materials that are “linked” to the learning outcomes, which will allow users to select the necessary materials for various purposes, including students’ assessment.
Manuals on TLM will be developed (written), provided with editing and graphic design and published as hard copies to explain the purpose and structure of TLMs. Following review and approval according to the national regulations, these publications will be distributed to pilot schools for direct use and to support the development of similar resources by teachers and content developers. The dissemination of the manuals for pilot schools is expected to be done in digital format. Consultant is responsible for arranging the most effective way of editing and delivery of the product. For those purposes, both individuals and companies could be outsourced if needed.
The Consultant will deliver 1 general (introductory) and 10 domain-specific professional development courses (0,5 ECTS credit each) for teachers working with 10th grades in pilot schools and other relevant stakeholders (i.e. school principals/ deputy principals,trainers, teacher-trainers) – all teachers from pilot schools are expected to be covered during the assignment. This training will focus on the use of the developed TLMs, including how to apply the tools and tasks to assess student learning achievements effectively and to respond to the results of this assessment.

III. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The selected consultant will be responsible for the completion of the following components to assure the development and implementation of TLMs for 10 educational domains:
(i) language and literature; (ii) foreign languages; (iii) civic and historical; (iv) maths; (v) science; (vi) technology; (vii) art; (viii) social and health; (ix) IT; (x) physical education. Each task must be performed with accuracy, professionalism, and in accordance with the outlined goals and requirements.
Component 1. Creation of TLMs for educational domains by expert groups
The Consultant will create 10 expert groups (the final list of experts is to be approved by the Client and NIO) and coordinate the development of TLMs for 10 educational domains. TLMs will be used by the pilot schools in the educational process apart from the draft textbooks introduced for approbation accordingly to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 26 August 2025 No. 1058 “On the implementation of the experimental project on the introduction in general secondary education institutions of educational programmes developed on the basis of the Typical Educational Programme for grades 10–12 of general secondary education institutions providing profile secondary education of the academic orientation”.
These materials will also serve as a model for creating high-quality tasks (including competency-based tasks) for developers of educational materials and teachers.
The TLM (for each specific educational domain) are model tools that contain study program, model sets of tasks, model projects and compensatory learning tasks for conducting diagnostic and summative assessments by GLO, and following compensatory/equalizing interventions and accompanying explanations and recommendations that provide clear guidance for users on how to use tasks/tools to assess student achievement.
The KPI for TLM development is presented in Annex 1.
A study program is a document that defines the sequence of achieving expected learning outcomes and describes the relevant content and educational activities for using model sets of tasks and model projects, as well as ompensatory learning tasks (24 hours of instruction). A study program should be designed for two semesters, with hours of instruction rationally divided between them. The structure of study programme must comply with the requirements of the typical educational programme for grades 10-12 of general secondary education institutions that provide profile secondary education with an academic track (https://mon.gov.ua/npa/pro-zatverdzhennia-typovoi-osvitnoi-prohramy-dlia-10-12-klasiv-zakladiv-zahalnoi-serednoi-osvity-iaki-zabezpechuiut-zdobuttia-profilnoi-serednoi-osvity-za-akademichnym-spriamuvanniam).
A model set of tasks is a set of tasks organized in accordance with the specification developed for a particular assessment and created in accordance with the requirements for model tasks.
The minimum number of model sets of tasks in the model tools repository is 3 per educational domain, including the mandatory ones:
Depending on the specifics of the educational domain and the GLO of the respective domain, the number of model sets can be increased (but not reduced) to provide a holistic representation of assessment opportunities for all GLO defined by the SSBSE/ SSPUSE for a particular domain.
Each model set of tasks should contain a sufficient number of individual tasks to conduct an objective assessment in accordance with the requirements of the SSBSE/ SSPUSE for the relevant period of study.
The number of tasks in the diagnostic work should be calculated proceeding from at least 2 academic hours of assessment. When creating tasks for diagnostic work, use the assessment guidelines defined for the 9th grade SSBSE, which remain relevant for the SSPUSE in accordance with the progress recorded at the link https://educationforlife.mon.gov.ua/interaktyvnyi-postup/?cycle%5B%5D=7-9&cycle%5B%5D=10-12. Tasks for 10th grade cannot duplicate tasks developed within the TLM for 9th grade.
The number of tasks in the final semester work should be calculated proceeding from at least 1 academic hour of testing for each group of results specified in the certificate of achievement for the relevant educational domain: (i) language and literature — 4; (ii) foreign languages — 4; (iii) civic and historical — 3; (iv) maths — 3; (v) science — 3; (vi) technology — 3; (vii) art — 3; (viii) social and health — 4; (ix) IT — 4; (x) physical education — 3.
The maximum number of tasks in a particular set depends on several factors: 1) the specifics of the subject-specific learning outcomes; 2) the availability and length of the stimulus materials (reading texts, instructions, etc.) needed to complete the tasks; 3) the type and nature of the tasks.
A set of tasks for educational fields where performance tasks are relevant, such as language and literature — listening & speaking; foreign languages — listening & speaking; science — conducting experiments; technology — product manufacturing; art — product manufacturing, performance; physical education — physical exercise, may contain fewer tasks if the set includes a performance task, compared to task sets for other fields.
The tasks may relate to stimulus materials (reading texts, situation descriptions, instructions for completion). The time required to work through the relevant materials should be taken into account when determining the maximum possible number of tasks for the estimated time of the set. The stimulus material should be necessary for the completion of the tasks and correspond in volume to the task set. When calculating the time required to work through the stimulus material, a guideline is up to 150 words per minute of text material.
When calculating the number of tasks for a set, it is necessary to proceed from the following average time limits for completing different types and kinds of tasks (depending on the length of the instructions and stimulus material):
Examples for calculating the number of tasks for a given time can be found in the external independent assessment test forms available at https://testportal.gov.ua/ofzvit/, as well as competency-based tasks available at https://nus-tasks.net/.
A model set of tasks specification is a description of a set of tasks that gives a complete picture of the specifics of the assessment and the determination of results based on it. The specification should contain information about the following:
A model project is a long-term project (at least one week) developed and described in detail within the educational domain, the results of which can be used for summative assessment (interim (thematic), semester, or annual).
The minimum number of model projects is 2: 1 for basic level and 1 for an advanced level of learning outcomes for each educational domain. Projects should differ by subjects of completion (individual, pair, microgroup, group) and by the modality of the leading activity with the intention to clearly express the potential of project activity in the educational process for different educational domains.
The model project plan is a comprehensive description of the project that provides a detailed overview of its organization, implementation, evaluation, and outcome. The plan should contain information on the following:
Compensatory learning tasks - set of content/ learning activities aimed at filling out identified learning gaps related to respective expected learning outcomes.
Minimal amount of the learning tasks is 200 evenly distributed among GLOs, defined by the SSPUSE for each educational domain. Respectively the number of GLOs is: (i) language and literature — 4; (ii) foreign languages — 4; (iii) civic and historical — 6; (iv) maths — 4; (v) science — 4; (vi) technology — 3; (vii) art — 3; (viii) social and health — 4; (ix) IT — 4; (x) physical education — 3. Learning tasks should be allocated among 24 hours of instruction as defined in the respective study program.
Learning tasks should be in line with the examples of learning tasks for 10-12 grades published here: https://educationforlife.mon.gov.ua/interaktyvnyi-postup/?cycle%5B%5D=10-12, and/or can extend the list of these examples and be suitable for use in the ongoing educational process as a separate extension of the textbooks’ tasks.
Component 2: Upgrading a digital repository for TLMs
This component focuses on upgrading a user-friendly digital environment (online repository) that will ensure efficient access to structured learning materials aligned with the mandatory learning outcomes of the SSBSE/ SSPUSE. The repository will support filtering, searching, saving, and integration with existing digital education platforms, enhancing their functionality.
Selected Consultant should review relevant existing digital solutions (particularly, repository for TLMs developed under the Project’s Consulting services for the development of teaching and learning materials (TLM) for the final year of study at the level of basic secondary education (9th grade) ) and propose implementation/improvement plan based on the analysis .
The improvement plan should be approved by the Client and then implemented by Consultant. If necessary the developer of the digital repository can be outsourced.
The User Manual for repository should be updated.
Component 3: Developing, publishing and dissemination of the Manuals on TLMs
Definition and components
This component focuses on the development of Manuals for teachers on the created TLMs for each educational domain (10 manuals, minimum 2 author’s sheets each) that will be distributed to pilot schools. The following indicative structure of the manuals may have peculiarities related to the specifics of learning assessment in certain educational domains.
Each Manual should serve as an instructional and explanatory source for the TLMs presented in the digital repository of materials (database) and contain the following components in its structure:
Literary editing. Perform comprehensive editing of TLMs to ensure clarity, consistency, and accuracy in Ukrainian.
Graphic design and layout of educational materials. Formatting of TLMs following visual guidelines provided by the MoES; materials are visually appealing, accessible and suitable for both print and digital distribution; final version of documents in electronic (PDF) and print-ready formats, along with editable source files for future updates.

Component 4: Capacity building for Pilot participants
This component focuses on building the capacity of teachers involved in the piloting of the SSPUSE at the level of the 10th grade by equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively use the developed TLMs, including appropriate use of tools and tasks for assessing student learning achievements and filling out identified learning gaps/ compensating educational losses/ equalizing students achievements. All teachers of pilot schools are expected to be covered by capacity building activities. Apart from the Pilot schools’ teachers other stakeholders (i.e. school managers, trainers, teacher-trainers etc) could be involved.
The training course will be designed and delivered to support the application of competency-based assessment principles and the integration of TLMs into the teaching and learning process. The course should be introduced gradually during the 2026-2027 school year in line with the development of the TLMs (see Component 1) with the purpose to explain to the audience how to use/ modify/ implement them in a real educational process. Based on the synchronous phase (set of webinars) corresponding asynchronous courses will be developed and launched for open access.

TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR)
FOR
TECHNICAL AND MONITORING EVALUATION ADVISOR
The Global Development Network (GDN) is a public international organization that supports high quality, policy-oriented, social science research in developing and transition countries to promote better lives. It supports researchers with financial resources, global networking, as well as access to information, training, peer review and mentoring. GDN acts on the premise that better research leads to more informed policies and better, more inclusive development. Through its global platform, GDN connects social science researchers with policymakers and development stakeholders across the world. Founded in 1999, GDN is currently headquartered in New Delhi. For more information, visit: www.gdn.int
The Japanese Award for Most Innovative Development Project is a competitive grant program under the umbrella of the Global Development Awards Competition, administered by GDN, funded under the Policy and Human Resources Development Fund (PHRD) trust fund managed by the World Bank, and generously supported by the Ministry of Finance, Government of Japan. The award program invites non-profit NGOs and CSOs to submit project proposals supporting (in particular) improved service delivery, and innovative approaches that may be scaled-up through a grant. The Award targets projects currently at the stage of implementation, and which have a high potential for impact targeting exceptionally marginalized and disadvantaged groups located in developing countries - per the World Bank’s recognition as low and middle income countries.
The two first prize winners compete for the Japan Social Development Fund (JSDF) award after a minimum of 12 months implementation of their MIDP grant for a much larger grant of up to US$ 200,000 within the framework of the World Bank-administered Japan Social Development Fund.
The JSDF award focuses on piloting socially innovative development projects that have been identified as having the potential for development impact and replicability through the MIDP Award. The objective of JSDF Award is to support community-driven development and poverty reduction programs that serve to enhance productivity, increase access to social and community services and infrastructure, and improve the living conditions of poor and vulnerable groups in eligible countries.
Under GDN’s Global Development Awards Competition, your assignment is to serve as a Mentor/ Technical Advisor to the development project titled, “Rain water harvesting upscale to address the impact of climate change in Tharaka Nithi County of Kenya” being implemented by the NGO International Aid Services Kenya from Kenya.
This NGO was initially awarded the 1st prize under the Japanese Award for Most Innovative Development Project (MIDP) category of the 2021 edition of the Global Development Awards Competition (GDAC).
After 12 months of implementation, through closed competition between MIDP 1st prize winners, the NGO was awarded the JSDF Award for a scale-up of their MIDP project with a US$ 200,000 grant.
In close consultation and coordination with the Awardee and GDN, the main task of this consultancy is to provide technical guidance for the effective implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the project. This shall include but not be limited to:
What is the problem the project intends to address?
The proposal addresses climate change challenges that include environmental degradation, deforestation, soil erosion, desertification, water scarcity and food insecurity due to unreliable rainfall, unproductive soils and poor farming methods.

What is the proposed solution?
MIDP project will be scaled-up through environmental conservation approaches; rainwater harvesting (15 dam liners, 4 earth dams) design and installation of 75 households with local improved energy cooking stoves, development of 15 wood lots, installation of solar dryer and training of 615 community members to adapt to climate change and mind set change.

Technical support:
Monitoring and reporting:
What is the problem the project intends to address?
Migrant workers and their families in the construction sector have low health literacy and face important barriers to access preventive health care. The public health sector often overlooks this population as well. The construction sector's lack of incentives, training and tools compounds the issue.
What is the proposed solution?
The Project aims to implement a sustainable and scalable model by utilizing trained Health Focal Points (HFPs) in construction site camps, establishing connections with construction companies and public healthcare providers.
Brief description of the main activities
The Project’s main activities include training Health Focal Points to provide health information in communities and connect them to public healthcare providers to facilitate access to medical services. Companies will disseminate health information and will be actively engaged to support the adoption and scale up of this model.
Main key expected results and outcomes
Overall outcome is improved health literacy of migrant workers and their children in Thai construction camps.
Extended objectives of the project
The general objective of this Project is to establish a sustainable pathway contributing to continued healthcare access and improved health outcomes among workers and their children living in construction camps. This objective acknowledges the constraints faced by the primary stakeholders (workers and their children), which includes low health literacy, issues accessing the Thai public health system, exclusion from public health prevention campaigns and limited support from companies in overcoming these challenges. By strengthening partnerships amongst companies, public health providers and beneficiaries, advocating for inclusive healthcare policies, and leveraging the lessons learned from the MIDP grant, the Project seeks to create lasting change.
The specific objective of the Project is to improve health literacy among migrant workers and their children in Thai construction site camps. This directly responds to the immediate needs of workers and their children, as detailed above (context section) by empowering Health Focal Points (HFPs) with essential knowledge and skills and connecting them to public health providers and construction companies. The relevance of this objective lies in its potential to enable migrant workers and their families to make informed decisions, seek timely care, and adopt healthier behaviors.
These objectives will be reached through three components, aiming at onboarding HFPs and linking them with medical centers while engaging construction companies. Progress towards each objective will be measured by carefully selected indicators that monitor the Project’s influence in various areas, such as improving health literacy in communities, improved communities connections with public health service providers, promoting awareness around health, and encouraging construction companies’ active participation in promoting and disseminating important health messages, to name a few. Collectively, these indicators capture the Project’s effectiveness towards improving access to healthcare, health awareness, and collaboration with key stakeholders, ultimately resulting in improved health literacy and outcomes for the target population.
The project is planned to last for 24 months from January 2024 to December 2025.
The Consultant should be based anywhere though preference will be given to applicants based in Thailand. Any prior relevant work experience in the targeted area or in the intervention type of the project will be an added advantage.
The appointment will be on a part-time basis requiring around 30 days of involvement spreading over the whole duration of the project. The Consultant/Advisor shall be able to make herself/himself available either in-person or remotely for GDN and the Awardee. The Consultant/Advisor will keep GDN copied on all the email communications with the Awardee.
The candidate is expected to provide a detailed budget in his/her application.
The maximum budget (including the cost of travel to the project location, lodging, and subsistence etc.) should not exceed USD 15,000. Applications from teams of more than one person are welcome.

Assignment Title: National Agriculture Extension Specialist
Project ID: P177816
Deadline Date: 24th July 2026
Ref No. SO-MOAI-552665-CS-INDV
2. BACKGROUND
The Somalia Food Systems Resilience Project (S-FSRP) forms part of a regional World Bank-financed initiative aimed at improving food systems resilience and strengthening preparedness against food insecurity in vulnerable and climate-affected areas of Somalia. The Project focuses on rebuilding agricultural production capacity, improving rural livelihoods, strengthening institutional systems, and promoting climate-smart agricultural practices.
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MoAI), through the National Project Coordination Unit (NPCU), is responsible for coordinating project implementation in collaboration with Federal Member States, district authorities, development partners, and community institutions.
Agricultural extension services remain a critical gap within Somalia’s agriculture sector due to limited technical staffing, weak farmer outreach systems, inadequate training mechanisms, and limited dissemination of improved agricultural technologies and climate advisory services. Strengthening extension systems is essential for improving farmer knowledge, promoting climate-smart agriculture, enhancing productivity, and increasing resilience among smallholder farmers and agro-pastoral communities.
The Project therefore seeks to strengthen national agricultural extension systems, farmer advisory services, training and capacity-building programmes, and community-based extension delivery mechanisms. To support these objectives, the NPCU intends to recruit a qualified National Agriculture Extension Specialist (NAES) under the Individual Consultant Selection (INDV) method.
2. Scope of Work and Responsibilities

Support strengthening of agricultural extension and farmer advisory systems at federal and state levels.

Develop agricultural extension manuals, training curricula, guidelines, and farmer education materials. Support capacity-building and technical training programmes for extension officers, farmer groups, and producer organizations.
Promote participatory and inclusive extension approaches targeting women, youth, and vulnerable groups. Support dissemination of climate advisory information and good agricultural practices. Coordinate extension-related awareness campaigns and knowledge-sharing activities.
Collaborate with research institutions, NGOs, private sector actors, and development partners to strengthen extension systems. Support preparation and implementation of Annual Work Plans and Budgets (AWPBs).Coordinate closely with Federal and State Project Coordination Units and technical stakeholders. Support preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual project progress reports. Ensure compliance with World Bank procedures, Project Implementation Manual (PIM), and environmental and social standards.

Country: Zambia
Project: Skills Training for Results and Industry-Valued Employment (STRIVE) Project
Project ID: P514247
(Consulting Services – Individual Consultant Selection)
The Government of the Republic of Zambia is preparing and implementing the Skills Training for Results and Industry-Valued Employment (STRIVE) project (P514247) with support from the World Bank. STRIVE is proposed as a US$80 million IDA Grant and will be implemented as an Investment Project Financing (IPF) operation with Performance-Based Conditions (PBCs), as Phase 3 of the Skills for Economic Transformation and Jobs (SET4Jobs) Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) in Eastern and Southern Africa.
The Project Development Objective is to strengthen the skills ecosystem for increased job creation in priority value chains, with a focus on increasing access to job-relevant skills for Zambian youth. The project prioritizes mining, agribusiness, and hospitality and emphasizes employer co-design, outcomes and employability, sustainability of core financing mechanisms, and future-oriented innovations, including digital, blended learning, and AI-enabled tools.
The project will be implemented through three components:
(1) Building industry-led skills systems, including the development of a TEVET Management Information System and a strengthened Labour Market Information System, and support to sector management and coordination functions such as quality assurance, occupational standards, and instructor supply (including selected PBC-supported reforms);
(2) Preparing youth for better jobs, including performance-oriented institutional grants for TEVET institutions (including Centres of Excellence and hybrid learning for ZQF Levels 5-7), competitive grants to improve the quality of programs up to Level 4, a pilot TEVET student loan scheme, and results-based contracts for short-term skilling; and
(3) Growing employment opportunities in value chains, including support to business development services and sector-specific upskilling for firms.
The Ministry of Technology and Science (MoTS) will be the lead implementing agency for STRIVE. Day-to-day coordination will be carried out through a dedicated Project Coordination Unit (the 'STRIVE PCU') hosted by MoTS.

Request for Expressions of Interest
Country: Zambia
Project: Skills Training for Results and Industry-Valued Employment (STRIVE) Project
Project ID: P514247
(Consulting Services – Individual Consultant Selection)
The Government of the Republic of Zambia is preparing and implementing the Skills Training for Results and Industry-Valued Employment (STRIVE) project (P514247) with support from the World Bank. STRIVE is proposed as a US$80 million IDA Grant and will be implemented as an Investment Project Financing (IPF) operation with Performance-Based Conditions (PBCs), as Phase 3 of the Skills for Economic Transformation and Jobs (SET4Jobs) Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) in Eastern and Southern Africa.
The Project Development Objective is to strengthen the skills ecosystem for increased job creation in priority value chains, with a focus on increasing access to job-relevant skills for Zambian youth. The project prioritizes mining, agribusiness, and hospitality and emphasizes employer co-design, outcomes and employability, sustainability of core financing mechanisms, and future-oriented innovations, including digital, blended learning, and AI-enabled tools.
The project will be implemented through three components:
(1) Building industry-led skills systems, including the development of a TEVET Management Information System and a strengthened Labour Market Information System, and support to sector management and coordination functions such as quality assurance, occupational standards, and instructor supply (including selected PBC-supported reforms);
(2) Preparing youth for better jobs, including performance-oriented institutional grants for TEVET institutions (including Centres of Excellence and hybrid learning for ZQF Levels 5-7), competitive grants to improve the quality of programs up to Level 4, a pilot TEVET student loan scheme, and results-based contracts for short-term skilling; and
(3) Growing employment opportunities in value chains, including support to business development services and sector-specific upskilling for firms.
The Ministry of Technology and Science (MoTS) will be the lead implementing agency for STRIVE. Day-to-day coordination will be carried out through a dedicated Project Coordination Unit (the 'STRIVE PCU') hosted by MoTS. Implementation will require close coordination with the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA), the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MoLSS), the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprise Development (MSMED), the Higher Education Loans and Scholarships Board (HELSB), and other relevant stakeholders.
The project will be supported by a high-level Steering Committee, chaired by the Minister of Technology and Science, to provide strategic oversight and ensure cross-agency and private sector coordination. The Steering Committee will include, inter alia, the Ministry of Finance and National Planning, MoLSS, MSMED, TEVETA, HELSB, and private sector representatives. Technical working groups and/or component-level committees may be established to provide technical oversight and support results monitoring.
The core functions of the STRIVE PCU will include: preparation of annual work plans and budgets; monitoring and evaluation and periodic progress reporting; coordinating Steering Committee and technical working group meetings; supporting recruitment and management of technical assistance; preparing required financial reports and disbursement documentation; facilitating internal and external audits; providing procurement planning and contract management support consistent with the World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers and use of STEP; coordinating implementation support missions and preparation of mission documentation; ensuring compliance with legal covenants; ensuring implementation of environmental and social risk management measures under the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (including stakeholder engagement and grievance redress); and implementing a communications approach for internal and external stakeholders.
