SSA_Mozambique_2023_Services of a Consultant for Green Skills Benchmarking Exercise on the Going Global Partnership TVET programme in Mozambique

Tender description

The Green Skills Benchmarking Tool <br />The British Council has developed a self-assessment tool on Greening TVET that aims to identify and measure how green a country’s TVET system is at policy, industry and implementation levels by engaging all key stakeholders. The tool is designed to support governments in demonstrating and measuring progress in the transition to a greener society and will inform the enhancement and formulation of appropriate policy initiatives, identify exemplar areas of practice and success and shape Going Global Partnership interventions to help capitalise on strengths and address any gaps. <br />It is proposed that a green skills benchmarking exercise takes place in Mozambique between December and February, which will be followed by the design of a roadmap (including stakeholder engagement) for greening TVET in Mozambique, outlining short-, medium- and long-term priorities. <br /><br />The following activities will form part of this assignment: <br />1. Working with the UK consultant on conducting an assessment of TVET system in Mozambique using the Greening TVET benchmarking tool, through desk research and consultations with key national stakeholders (both online and in person). This includes arranging meetings and interviewing key national informants to collect and validate information for the self-assessment tool. <br />2. Delivering a one-day face-to-face interactive workshop with key informants in Mozambique to triangulate and validate the findings. The UK consultant will support the design of the workshop. <br />3. Work with the UK consultant on development of a report analysing the findings of the benchmarking exercise (including the ranking for each question in the tool, discussed and agreed by key stakeholders during the workshop), outlining strengths and opportunities for greening TVET in Mozambique, capturing examples of good practice which illustrate how the country is enhancing, or plans to enhance, its TVET system to ensure it supports transition to a green/blue economy, and making recommendations for potential British Council supported projects in this space as well as suggesting enhancements/refinements to the tool.<br />4. Support the UK consultant in development of a roadmap (including stakeholder engagement) for greening TVET in Mozambique, outlining short-, medium- and long-term priorities.<br /><br /> Overview of task<br /><br />The task focusses on five interrelated activities:<br />1.
